I know this entry is out of sequence but I just had to tell you all about our afternoon. Today as we were soaking up the atmosphere on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh we saw a very colourful sight walk past us and down the main street. Elaine Davidson, the "Most Pierced Woman" according to the Guinness Book of Records, was filming scenes for an American TV show - Extreme Travel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elaine_Davidson As she walked past we smiled at each other and she winked at me. She said 'I wonder why everyone is looking at me?' and I said to her, [View Full Entry]

Our second day in Venice was spent exploring the aquatic city some more, checking out the famous Rialto bridge and shopping! We hopped on a waterbus and road over to Lido to check out the place. It was weird seeing a place with cars as Venice has no cars - there are no roads, it is all water. We walked around for a bit and sat on the foreshore and watched the world go by. We rode another water bus back to the main part of Venice and headed to the Rialto bridge and checked out all the beautiful shops that [View Full Entry]

Today we were leaving Rome and heading off to Venice for a few days. Our Euro star train was leaving the Termini at 7.30am, which meant we had to be at the station at 7am to print out our tickets, WHICH meant we had to leave our hotel by 6.30am and THAT meant we had to be up by 5.30am….there should be no 5.30am! We took the midget lift for the last time, picked up our packed breakfast that the hotel had ready for us and wheeled our luggage out into the breaking dawn, past St Mary’s where the bells would [View Full Entry]

Today would be our last day in Rome before we headed off to Venice. Even though it was a little sad to be leaving the Eternal City so soon, it was exciting to be going to Venice! I have to say our 6 days in Rome have gone both quick and slow at the same time, if that makes sense?!?! Our last day in Rome was to be a slower paced one, plus we had factored in time to check out all the little markets and stalls so we could buy a few little mementos of our Roman stay. We caught [View Full Entry]

We decided not to head down the coast for a 16hr day (gee I wonder why? I hear you ask). Experienced travelers will tell you that there is so much to do just in Rome and that our ‘wish list’ of things we would like to see and do was a little ambitious, however until you are actually in the thick of it you really don’t appreciate the advice! This holiday was never about a checklist of things to do and see, we want quality more than quantity but it is still difficult to admit to yourself that unless you have [View Full Entry]
