GERMANY | Monday, 12 Oct 2009 | Views [1433]

After leaving the mayhem and wet weather of Prague behind, we were excited to be hitting up Munich and the Beer Halls that night. However, not so exciting was the prospect of having to get back into the went tents, with wet sleeping bags and mats ... Read more >

CZECH REPUBLIC | Saturday, 19 Sep 2009 | Views [647]

When in Rome...

ITALY | Wednesday, 12 Aug 2009 | Views [1070]

For me, that meant wearing what my mum would call my Roman sandals (purchased in Florence, mind you) because there was no dressing up in toga’s or gladiator get up for me! A little change of pace on our trip today meant that we got into Rome ... Read more >

FRANCE | Saturday, 8 Aug 2009 | Views [1407]

What more could you ask for,   arriving in Antibes on the French Riviera just as the sun is setting... ah, but back in to the tents after the luxury of a pillow and mattress for the last two nights. The fact that where we were was just gorgeous ... Read more >
