So, we finally made it to Switzerland - the land of chocolate! First stop was at Luzern where we wandered through the streets. We checked out two of the major bridges - they were both quite amazing with beautiful murals painted along the tops of the bridges. One of the bridges was badly burned by fire, so it was quite amazing to see the new panels juxtaposed with the burned and charred ones. Our first impression of Switzerland was… OMG, IT IS SO EXPENSIVE HERE...

As per usual this one is being done in transit!!! Hahaha. So, our last day in Rome… I've really loved my time in Rome, and we've been lucky to have MAINLY good weather. It rains about once a day, but then the sky just opens, it stops within 30 minutes and then it's all clear again for the rest of the day. After packing (AGAIN!!!

Having been pre-warned about the lines in Florence, we headed straight to see David at the Galleria de Academia. MAN IS HE MASSIVE! The amount of detail is ab...

OMG, what can I say about Rome??? It is absolutely incredible - I think it by far over takes Paris as the most beautiful city in the world… it is just amazing… after getting in yesterday and hitting the supermarket, and having an early dinner across the road, we decided to trek it out to the Colosseum… it's even more INCREDIBLE than I could have imagined - massive ruins, and so beautiful. We didn't go in cause it was shut (given we got there at 7pm!!) but w...

So, once again sitting at the airport… for the first time though the flight has been delayed… only for one hour though, if it had of been for two apparently we could have gotten compensation… as I write this though I hope I'm not jinxing things so that we do get stuck here for two hours… that would suck… Barcelona was (as it was last time) beautiful, hot and amazing. After a VERY early departure from Paris we made it to the hostel and checked in, with ...
