An update since Florence.... Left Florence on 3rd July (Thursday) and headed towards Nice. On the way we stopped off at Pisa and saw the remarkably uninspiring Leaning Tower. Anyway, at least we can tick it off the list of things done :) Arrived in Nice around dinner time on Thursday night. We had a pretty low key evening, just went out to dinner and then went ten pin bowling (exciting huh??). France is incredibly expensive, and as we are naring the end of the ...

Unfortunately Florence didn't live up to the good times we had in Venice and Rome, most likely due to the sheer amount of sightseeing we had done in these two cities. We arrived in Florence early afternoon on Monday 30th June, after stopping off at a small town on the way (the name escapes me but we saw another impressive Duome, or church :) ). That night the Busabout guide took us for a walk around the city, pointing out the famous sights, such as the Duome, the...

Okay so we arrived in Rome late in the afternoon of Friday 27th June, and again we were staying at a campsite that Busabout aligned themselves with. Which is good for us, as we get dropped off and picked up from our accommodation! The next 2 days in Rome were to be completely jam packed with sightseeing, and would be one of the highlights of the trip. Saturday was spent at Vatican City, where we went on a guided walking tour of Vatican City, the Vatican Art Mus...

Hello again, Currently in Nice but updating the happenings from the past 9 days in Italy. We arrived in Venice from Athens on Tuesday 24th June, and made the short trek to the camping grounds where we were staying (don't worry I assure you we did not camp, we had cabins!!). On the bus to the grounds, we met a lovely young lady from Chicago who was travelling by herself who we became great friends with over the next week. Our first day in Venice was spent sigh...

Ok so here we are again. Left Split on Saturday 14th JUne, and headed for Athens. Unfortunately the cheapest flight we could get was a connecting flight via London. A long way to travel for such a short distance!!! The flights were fine and we arrived in Athens about 10pm before making the 1 hour bus ride to Piraeus. Piraeus is the major harbour in Greece, and was where we departed from early the next morning for Mykonos island. To be honest, our initial impress...
