I'll keep this brief, namely because I've been tapping out the Dubrovnik tale for the past hour and my hands are a little sore. Croatia was an amazingly beautiful country and I'm sad I only had two weeks to experience it in. It's full of not only ... Read more >

Yes, I like alliteration. Shut it. I'm obviously writing this retrospectively (again - why do I do this to myself??) but it's taken me ages to find the time....we kinda hit the ground running. So, where were we?? After getting off the ferry we ... Read more >

I’m sitting on the ferry that will take us from Vis back to
Split, from where we will drive to Dubrovnik, and I can’t believe that week is
over already. Only another three nights till we board a plane, and only another
30 or so hours after ... Read more >

After the long day we had at Plitvice, we were not not looking forward to the day of travel in order to get to Vis. We very casually got ready in the morning, I tried to frantically upload some photos but ended up getting booted out of the accommodations ... Read more >

Hope you’re all enjoying the terrible weather back home. I
won’t rub it in by talking about how beautifully sunny and close to 30 degrees
it is here. Because I’m a nice, caring person.
I imagine by now many of you have seen my ... Read more >

How is it that I didn't know that Croatia was the name that we give the country? It took me about two hours to realise that Hrvatska is the country's native name. I blame it on my jet-lag, which seems to have hit me hard this time round. Yes, I ... Read more >

Okay, so this is a LITTLE delayed. At least when I write things retrospectively it means I don’t blab on so much. If you breathe a word about me and blabbing and retrospect not making a difference, I will come and smack you down. Well, I might glare ... Read more >

Go go Gadget blog writer!
Abracadabra?!
Ummm....here’s one I prepared earlier?
Sigh.
You know, one would think that this would be easier
considering the number of posts that I have written. Mind you, one might also
think that I ... Read more >

I’m sitting in the B&B in Lucca and not wanting to leave this place. Today is our last day here and then we’re off to Le Cinque Terre. Sure, it’s beautiful and great, but I had forgotten how much I love this place. Last time Andrew and I only ... Read more >

Okay, so I clearly didn’t post the day after. Ah...what are you gonna do? Currently in Lucca (which I will write about next) and thought I’d better jot down a few thoughts about Firenze before they flitter away <insert witty comment bagging my usual ... Read more >

I really need to make more of an attempt to update this blasted thing every day! Currently in Firenze and enjoying what has so far been a very lazy day. Tess is off at the Uffizi gallery and I have been updating photos and all things internet for the ... Read more >

So where was I? Oh yes.....vino. Montalcino is known for its Brunello wine, arguably the best in the world. I was not disappointed. But I’ll get to that shortly. For some strange reason unknown to anyone rational, we decided to get up at 6:00 am ... Read more >

For a rest day, we ended up doing a lot. Okay, maybe not a lot, but a lot for a rest day. I’m tired! How did that happen?? Stupid faux rest day. Slept in, had eggs, mushies and cado for brekkie – really needed a savoury breakfast. Those crazy Italians ... Read more >

So up bright and early to head into Siena. And when I say bright and early, what I really mean is wake up, roll over and get up when we bloody well feel like it. We took the bus into the city centre (and got annoyed when we saw that it passed out the ... Read more >

This day sucked. This day sucked like
no day has sucked before. Okay, it wasn’t quite that bad, but it

In the morning we had to farewell
Lanfranco and Marcella, and ... Read more >

It has just occurred to me that I haven’t mentioned our new travel buddy! We met him in Rome and as fate would have it, he also turned up in Assisi and has decided to accompany us for what I hope to be the rest of our trip. He may even come home with ... Read more >

I’m sitting in the private
living/dining area of the beautiful B&B Tess and I have scored

is essentially an apartment to ourselves. It is half of the

For a trip that has involved so little rushing around, I sure have been slack at keeping you guys informed. Perhaps I just don't want to rub it in your faces. Perhaps! I'm sitting at my window watching and listening to Rome wake up, the noisy little ... Read more >
