Europe 2019

Matt and Becky's Europe vacation Les mer
  • Doge Palace.

    9. oktober 2019, Italia ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    Spent a lovely couple of hours wandering around the magnificent Palace.
    Very beautiful and quite large with one of the largest rooms in Europe! Biggest I've seen in a while anyway!!!

  • Bridge of Sighs

    9. oktober 2019, Italia ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

    Finally have experienced the Bridge of Sighs.
    The prisoners were reputed to have crossed this bridge on the way to prison from court.
    The prisoners had quite large cells though although the doors were huge!
    Very impressed with how preserved it all this.

  • A night in Venice

    9. oktober 2019, Italia ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    A stroll around Venice in the evening is a beautiful experience. Moving constantly from dark to light and narrow street to open squares. And the music makes it even better. Talking to your soul from around every corner.Les mer

  • Memory lane

    10. oktober 2019, Italia ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    Sat with my favourite human in exactly the same restaurant that we ate pizza in as skint newlyweds 17 yrs ago... drink wine and enjoying being here.

  • Leaving Venice.

    11. oktober 2019, Italia ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    Finally on a boat as we say goodbye to Venice. Still one of my favourite places on earth even though it has changed so much.
    The people are genuine, the food is amazing and the artwork spectacular. If you can look past the Gucci and Prada stores, Venice has not lost its soul.
    Sad to be leaving but will be back.

  • Off to France

    11. oktober 2019, Italia ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    About to depart Marco Polo airport. See you all in France. Drinks trolley better get to us this time and definitely no oxygen masks. Got that T-shirt.

  • First time for everything...

    11. oktober 2019, Frankrike ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    Now... coming from the land of the afternoon tea and cricket... one expects a certain mode of transport whilst travelling underground, thanks to those pesky victorians, so imagine much surprise when I rock up in the land of the can-can to find.... Double decker tube trains.... not possible you say... tunnels and all that... but I am currently on the top deck of said train... hoping there are no low bridges!!Les mer

  • First night in Paris

    11. oktober 2019, Frankrike ⋅ 🌙 15 °C

    So good to be back here again. A quick walkabout this evening after a long day travelling. Bit miffed about the steps though. In Spain, they just put an escalator in the street.

  • Most spectacular show.

    12. oktober 2019, Frankrike ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    Well... what can I say.. we spent last night at The Moulin Rouge and were blown away. We had an amazing 3 course dinner with free champagne and then had the best show. The dancers were amazing and even though we didnt understand a word it was wonderful. Getting in at 3am was a first and £70 for a bottle of wine was a shock but wouldn't have missed it.Les mer

  • Happy afternoon.

    13. oktober 2019, Frankrike ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    After sleeping off our very late night, we sat down to a full beef roast dinner and then went for a wander through Paris. We have had an amazing time here. We even found more penguins.

  • Homeward bound

    14. oktober 2019, Frankrike ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    Our last European double decker train and it is quiet and empty. We are enjoying a glass of wine as we cross the Normandy countryside on our way to Le Harve

  • Last Supper

    14. oktober 2019, Frankrike ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

    The last meal of our epic journey aboard Brittany Ferries Etretat. We have had an amazing time but we are both looking forward to being home.
