Mum and I had a well earned sleep in the next day and then got out of bed, Mum attempted to use the torturous bathroom and almost ended up having to call me to help her get out of the bath. We decided to give our feet a rest and catch the red sight seeing bus. We got to Termini Station and joined the long line for the bus, we were in the que for about an hour before we found out that we had to buy tickets before you got on the bus, so I went to the booth and did ...

We touched down in Rome Ciampino airport and while we were waiting for the Terravision bus, we were greeted by a black cat, the first of the so called Cats of Rome we were to meet. It was almost 11pm when we boarded the very comfortable coach style bus to Rome. We travelled along the Appian Way, an ancient Roman road, still in use today and couldn't see anything as it was very dark. We got off at Rome Termini train station and then had to find our way to the hote...

We came down with a large bump onto the tarmac at Treviso airport near Venice, we got off and I had never seen such a small airport in all my life. It was even smaller than Coolangatta Airport on the Gold Coast in Australia. There was one conveyer belt and you went through and they barely even looked at your passport, they stamped mine, but not Mum's. We got out into the main area which was no bigger than my old bosses office and we did not have any Euros, we ass...

Mum and I got up very early the next day and Dad, after cooking us another huge breakfast, took us to Huntingdon Station.We paid 20 quid for a ticket to London that lets you jump on and off all the transport all day.I still thought it was expensive but at least we wouldn't have the hassle of having to keep fiddling with money all the time.The train ride was a long one and the scenery was not that interesting as it isn't on most trains in the world, except for Egy...
