Carcasson
June 2, 2016 in France ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
This would have to be the most amazing place I have seen in my life to date. The building of this city has astounded me. I just can't get my mind around how people put the massive stone blocks into such high structures. Will never forget this place.Read more

Day 10
Florence
June 5, 2016 in Italy ⋅ 🌙 18 °C
Big day today a lot of traffic. Went from Nice to Pisa then to Florence. Saw the Leaning Tower amazing. Lots of Africans trying to sell counterfeit goods and if you buy them you can be fined. The police don't fine them as they have no money.....pretty sad really. Then back to Florence and a lovely dinner. Big day again tomorrow off to Sorrento.Read more

Day 12
Isle of Capri
June 7, 2016 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
Had the most amazing experience today going to the Isle of Capri. The water was so green and it
is surrounded by cliffs. Went on a bus ride up the hill.....man talk about hairy. Just enough room for vehicles to in most spots and not enough room in others. Had a ski lift ride to the top and what views!!! Then a boat ride around the island...can't describe how beautiful this place is.Read more

Day 13
Pompei
June 8, 2016 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
Went to the ancient ruins of Pompei. Another great experience a lot of the buildings are still standing except for the timber which had been replaced because the heat had carbonised it. Looking forward to seeing a documentary on the destruction of Pompei again having been there.Read more

Day 13
Rome
June 8, 2016 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
We have arrived in Rome and are about to go for a walking tour around the city then dinner. The artwork in and around Rome leaves me speachless. The meal was really nice and it was another wonderful day. Day 2 Went to the Vatican City. ..and again it's so hard to describe what it is like. The words escape me. You read about these places and see photos but nothing prepares you for the beauty and feeling of awe when you are looking at the real thing. Then onto the Coleseum and it amazed me at the shear size and the feeling you get when you enter a place as old as this and to see where the emporer sat and where the gladiators and animals were housed. You could visualise the crowds sitting around it watching the battles taking place. Had a trip to a country town in the evening for dinner another nice evening. Just getting ready for the bus trip to meet the ferry then off to Greece. We have arrived at the port to get the ferry to Greece.Read more
