We're currently on the plane home, somewhere over the alps. We are both gutted to be leaving Italy but also glad to be getting home! Shaun has got his tea planned already- fish and chips. My suggestion of going to an italian restaurant didn't go down that well! The flight home isn't too bad but I probably wouldn't fly with Ryanair again! It sort of feels like we're cattle being put in a pen! You don't get allocated seats so everyone is rushing it get to the fron...

Well today was our last day in Italy and in Venice, and I've finished my keyring collection!! I have 10 in total, one from each city!! We started today by finding the beach, which we assumed was in the direction of the crowds of people passing pur hotel. After a 5 minute walk we saw the most gorgeous beach we had seen in the whole of Italy! We couldn't believe it- on the last day and when we had so much of Venice to see! We left the beach behind and went to the...

If I had to describe today in one word it would be: wine! We started the day watching Scooby doo in Italian (aka Scoobio) and went to the supermarket for some food!

We got off the water bus just after the Rialto bridge and wondered the streets of venice. Venice is literally like a maze, full off dead ends or streets with a canal at the end! I was wond...

We made our last ever train journey in Italy today and made it all the way to Venice! It was a shame to leave Milan, the shopping capital of the world but we have come to a better place- Venice! It took about 3 and a half hours on a hot train full of kids to get here but it was well worth it! We came into Venice on the train over a long bridge and with my head sticking out of the window could smell the sea air! The first thing we had to do was spend €22 on a ...

Two words to sum up today: Shopping & Curry! Milan really is the best place to come shopping! (if you have the money for designer labels- which I don't) Shaun says thats why we have only come to Milan for 1 day- so I don't get carried away! We started the day by looking for the Duomo and some other famous sights. The weather has been a bit cloudy but it has been nice because it hasn't been as hot as the rest of Italy! If I had to live in anywhere in Italy it...
