Here we are in Ljubljana, Slovenia for a couple of days, and I have finally found somewhere where my name does not cause confusion! I have even been told what it means - the first star of the morning or something similar...

We really like it here so have decided to extend our stay for a full extra night! So far have been to the castle, up a rather steep hill and taken lots of pictures whilst battling with the wind from the castle tower, and we've had a mosey round the town. We have also bought our tickets out of here to our next stop - Zagreb (Croatia)! For the bargain price of 11 euros each. Slightly less than the journey from Nottingham to Leicester I believe! Not bad for an international journey!

       

We've just uploaded some pictures from Venice. It was really fabulous there - very picturesque and there are lots more photos to see on request.... more of the same pretty much!

. . . when I say some, I mean us! There was helpfully a train strike in Italy on Friday, unfortunately the very day we were headed for Venice - Fortunately the Strike ended at 5 in the evening so it wasn't too late to get here. Since the last update we have been to Florence where we saw Michalangelo's David, the Duomo and had a walk along the Arno River. We also enjoyed a lazy day at the campsite in Tuscany which mostly consisted of slothing about for the day eating ice cream and sitting in the sun.

Venice is splendid and the weather has been awesome none stop sunshine the whole time we have been in Italy - touch wood! We'll stick some more photos up at the next place with any luck - they have free internet!We're heading to Slovenia (ljubljana) for a couple of nights so will try and fit in some more updates then! Hope everyones well! Ciao!

OK so we didn't quite meet him, but we went to mass with him on Easter Sunday and he waved to us . . . and the other thousands of people all there to say hello.

          

We've had quite a busy week all in all, we made it to Pompeii (there are some pictures under big adventures on the right), and then travelled back up to Rome which is where we have spent the last few days. We've seen lots of sights including the Colusseum and Vatican City although the real highlight had to be seeing the pope on Easter Sunday. We travel again tomorow this time to Florence where we'll be spending a few days visiting Florence and the surrounding area. I think we're at a camp site for this one which should be interesting. Unfortunately my time is about up on the internet so going to have to cut this short.

Hope everyone else had a fantastic Easter, I'll try and get some descriptions up of the pictures soon (thanks Jim for pointing that out), and tell you a bit more next time, until then . . . ciao!
