Arrived in Rome

---

Since the last update from Ulm in Germany we have caught another 2 trains to get to Venice and a high speed train from Venice to Rome, which we arrived at today.

Had a very poor internet connection in Venice hence no update to the blog, tonight in Rome we have a good internet connection but there are issues with the travel blog site, so have spent more time than I hoped updating the previous blog entry with photos of Eurostar trip, plus Ulm and Oktoberfest

Tomorrow we are planning to get to the Roman Coluseum, and will hopefully update the blog again tomorrow night.

All the best

Darren, Tanya, Carolyn, Hayley and John

Fast train number 1
This is the fast train we had too run very fast to catch at Munich, the train took us from Munich to Venice.

Our first meal in Venice
Surprise surprise its Pizza

We got so lost in Venice !
We actually found the ‘hidden’ spiral staircase

Inside our very Venetian hotel room.
Kids were an extra.

Lost again!
Its simple, clearly we are near the water.

Our Gondola ride
On the Gondola and ready to go, although John was disappointed we didn't bring our fishing rods?

Our Gondola Man
Tanya and the girls were happy with Carlo our Gondolier. John and I thought a fishing charter might have been better...

Feeding the Pigeons
At St Peters Square with St Peters Basillica in the background

John was tired of getting lost !
And in this case had put his jumper and hood on backwards I think trying to tell us he would have better luck finding his way around like this (clearly a case of the blind leading the blind)
