Today we were meant to visit Venice but due to the past 36 hours of stress it was decided to instead have a free day in Rome. Larry and Amanda went off to visit their daughter again so Donna Steve , Jase and I decided to do the hoho bus. This bus takes you around the City of Rome (although only the city........it still takes 1.45 minutes to do one lap.) After sitting for 1 1/2 round trips we got off and heading to see the Trevi Fountain. Oh My,!!!!!!!!!! is the...

Today we woke up and a big decision needed to made. The Airbnb we had booked was not up to standard. The smell coming from Donna and Steve’s toilet was revolting it had infiltrated the living room also Upon further investigation, it seems the sewerage was directly connected to the drain in the shower, thus resulting in funky smells comming up through the shower drain. We quickly came to the realisation that we had to relocate to a hotel and try and get a refund...

Today we headed to Rome. Steve had organised a water taxi to pick us up at 9am and take us to the train station. We grabbed a bite to eat and waited for the train to depart. It left at 10:30 and although we did not travel first class this time, it was comfortable. The train went fast Jason and Steve saw It reach 250kph. After going through Florence, we arrived in Rome around 2pm. We waited for a taxi and after watching some interesting characters, we were in t...

We walked over to Doge's palace and saw the Bridge of Sighs and Prison of the Venitian Republic. We then went into the Basilica of St Mark, and marvelled at the impressive architecture and murals. The church is the oldest buildi...

Woke around 6.30am and it was pitch black. Waited for everyone to wake then went off to find a little restaurant for breakfast. There are restaurants in every nook and cranny. Coffee was amazing so went back for seconds. Jason went into shock with strength so had to add 3 sugars to his coffee. Went back put in a couple of loads of washing and then headed out to get lost in the back streets of Venice. Everywhere you look there is something new to discover. Musi...
