Our long journey home was a tiring one as our flight was very early in the morning. Sleeping at the airport was a bit tricky so with a lack of sleep it was great to finally be back in my own bed. Spending 2 months travelling around Europe was such a great experience and went so quickly. It is nice to be home now but will have to get back to reality. It was amazing to visit so many fantastic places and see all the beautiful sights. Choosing a favourite place is...

Having reached Barcelona late on Friday night after a 5 hour train from Marseille we found the hostel and went straight to bed. We woke early on Saturday morning to do a free walking tour however we missed it by about 5 minutes! So decided to wander around the city ourselves, making our way towards the sea. We walked along the beach promenade and then to La Rambla which was really busy, mainly tourists. The food market there was really good with so much to see, ...

Our plan to leave Florence early didn't work out so well when all the trains to Milan were full until 3 o'clock.

After a lot of hanging around we eventually arrived at our B&B about 6 o'clock! So we went straight out into the city centre to have a look around and find somewhere to eat dinner. The buil...

We arrived in Florence in the late afternoon and checked into our hostel which happened to be an ex monastery. Once we'd sorted ourselves out we caught the bus into the centre, but ended up a bit further out as we got off at the wrong stop! We walked around for a bit before finding a restaurant outside for dinner, I went for a traditional Spaghetti Bolognese. We got the bus back to our hostel as we weren't too keen on a long walk back without a map! On our first...
