Arrived in Singapore on Saturday morning quite early - 6am The heat when we exited the building was well, stunning. It was 28 degrees and felt like a sauna. However, I soon discovered that I don't mind the conditions at all - I prefer it to a 40 degree ... Read more >

The adventure in this part of our trip really commenced at Athena airport - why you may ask? Well, we had, for some very silly reason and several months ago, chosen to fly from Italy to Greece and return with Alitalia. As you may or may not be aware, ... Read more >

I am actually writing this on Thursday 18 September. We have had enormous problems locating appropriate internet sites to do any postings - we didn't get the time to post anything about Pompei and the day at Pisa was so long that we didn't get an opportunity ... Read more >

After the quick fire bus tour, it was time for some relaxation. Andrew met us at the bus stop in Roma after we travelled into the city from the Sheraton at the airport and from there we travelled to meet Melanie & Chelsea at Termini as they had ... Read more >

There is an enormous lack of internet sites in Paris - well there was where we were, so this is typed in Roma. A very fast train trip from London to Paris - there were a number of tunnels along the route and it was not until I saw the Calais rail station ... Read more >
