Hello Everyone, I want to apologise for the lack of updates. I have had issues with interent connections at the hotels we have stayed at and I have been unable to upload any updates via my tablet computer. Thankfully the hotel we are staying at currently in Rome has an interent kiosk that guests can use for free, so I hope to bring the blog up to date tonight. In the meantime here is a brief synopsis of what you will see in the upcoming blog entries, I got stranded in Zurich, I broke my camera, I have seen many wonderful sights, I have seen many terrible sights, I have seen many eye opening sights, I have stood atop a mountain in the swiss alps. I have posted a photo of the view I saw from atop Mt Titlis in Switzerland. Words can really not describe what you feel standing at the top of a mountain 10,000ft up with the wind whistling around you and the sun shining down on you, I only hope that the photo I have posted will give you an idea of what it looked like, to feel it you really have to go yourself. I will post more later, right now we are about to go out to a dinner at Castelli Romani, the Popes summer residence location. Lots of love from Michael.
