Roma! Europe » Italy » Lazio » Rome
Big warm Ciao from the city of Roma! Well we have made the first city in our Italian journey with no major complications. Except maybe if you can call a Gelato shop next to our B&B a "complication". As a matter of self presevation, Michael and I have agreed to keep to a one gelatto a day commitment. Unfortunately one gelatto in this city involves a cone and about 3 scoops of some of the most delicious ice cream ever invented. Flavors in ranking that I am in love with so far Nutella, Pistachio and Peach. This only because I have [View Full Entry]

Well, we've made it back home after an absolutely crazy weekend! We arrived on Thursday afternoon after a full day of travelling on trains and buses, and were greeted with a spectacular sunny afternoon. Some of our friends had arrived the previous day and had set up a great campsite just inside the main gate - we wouldn't know exactly how good the site was until the next afternoon... Audrey and I took a wander around the site to get our bearings, Glastonbury is absolutely massive. We made it about halfway across the site (over to the Jazz stage), where we [View Full Entry]

Wimbledon! Europe » United Kingdom » England » Greater London » Wimbledon
Well, today after a 15 hour trip over we decided it would be fun to get up at 4am (don't really know what we were thinking, probably jet lag) to go and try and get tickets for the first day of the Wimbledon tournament. It turns out that we have the patience of saints! (actually I learned I have the patience I always knew Michael had it, after all he puts up with me). After a bus and two trains, we got to the grounds to be given our "queue" numbers, for our American friends this means a line, a very [View Full Entry]

Our flight had a layover in Toronto, where Audrey found time to make friends with the resident giant stuffed moose... Once we hit London after a nice six hour sleep on the plane, I watched Australia get absolutely thumped in the cricket, this is something the poms have been bringing up ever since at any opportunity! As the afternoon continued, we caught the tube down to Camden to meet up with everyone for a quiet afternoon in the pub and along the locks. It was Sunday markets there, so it was pretty crazy. An early night after a long flight beckoned, [View Full Entry]

Well, today is my last day of work before we set off. Audrey and I leave early tomorrow morning, the house is all packed up and the gardeners just finished at home. Apparently they found a bee's nest in the front hedge, hope the new house owners don't go rummaging around there! Here's a quick overview of the basic dates of travel... Leave Sat 18th June 2005 Arrive London 19th June Glastonbury Festival from 23rd -> 27th June Rome on 29th June Leave Italy on the 13th July, arrive in Austria Arrive Hungary 18th July Fly back to [View Full Entry]
