We are on our way home but not before a stop over in Hong Kong. It says a lot about a location when it provides for a positive arrival experience and arriving in Hong Kong has been fantastic. This place has been set up for bulk tourists with a huge arrivals hall, quick and painless immigration and customs and bags immediately available. But that has just been the beginning for us.

We departed Brussels this morning after spending 3 days exploring Belgium and all it has to offer. A quick trip on the Eurostar and we have arrived back in London. Our afternoon was spent having afternoon tea at Grosvenor House, an array of finger sandwiches, scones and pastries on offer with tea and french champagne. Tonight we took ourselves off to see We Will Rock You which was absolutely awesome. Tomorrow I expect is going to be a day of shopping before flyin...

We spent the afternoon walking around the Grand Place, having hot chocolate on Godiva and we are just preparing to head out for a pub where hopefully we van get some...

We dropped into the Vatican after having a little lunch and I'm not a religious person but I stood in awe while in the Sistine Chapel and St Peter's Basilica. The artwork is...

Well yesterday was spent cruising the Amalfi Coast and ending in Pompeii. It was an early start with the minibus picking us up at 0645. We were treated to great scenery and history early on, even if only traveling the highway. Mount Vesuvius loomed in the distance around Naples, the monastery housing the famous Benedictine monks before finally hitting the coast and oh what a ride. Once again, much like France, small narrow roads, winding down the sides of mountai...
