Rome, Italy, Part 2

ITALY | Thursday, 17 Jan 2008 | Views [897] | Comments [5]

So I'm getting used to waking up tired even after a good night's sleep, but you have to push on so that's what I did. Fortunately, it wasn't raining but stayed overcast. After grabbing some breakfast at the train station, I caught the Metro down to see ... Read more >

Ahhh Roma!! Centre of the (old) universe, hehe. Well, my hotel wasn't too far from the train station and I didn't get badly lost trying to find it, so I was off to a good start :).  Having mastered the Metro train systems in Russia (cough cough), I was ... Read more >

Florence, Italy

ITALY | Tuesday, 15 Jan 2008 | Views [705] | Comments [2]

Ok I blame the new moon on my Venice ramblings, so its a good thing Florence improved my mood :). Still a little overwhelmed by churches and history which I know nothing about, I couldn't helped be awed by the Basilica St Mary (she's popular in these ... Read more >

Salzburg and Berchtesgaden

AUSTRIA | Thursday, 10 Jan 2008 | Views [872] | Comments [5]

One thing about arriving at a new place in the dark is you have no idea what the countryside looks like, so I was gobsmacked when I woke up to see towering snowy mountains in every direction! This is Salzburg - the place where everything is Mozart and ... Read more >

Ok I took a gamble and decided to try my luck on the Moscow Metro, the main undergound rail system. Everything I've read says its cheap, fast and easy so what could go wrong? I had a map of the train network so found the closest station to the hotel ... Read more >
