So glad we decided to do the day trip to Pisa as it was great.
On the train ride there we were entertained by a lady from Madrid who didn’t know much English but insisted on telling us about her travels and drama’s for most of the hour-and-a-half trip. Even though we only understood half [...]
Most books, people and websites that talk about Florence go on about how beautiful the city is.
It is the home to one of some of the most noted pieces of artwork ever created and architecturally it can hold its own with structures such as the Duomo… but as far as a city goes, it doesn’t [...]
We’re just about to leave Venice and I have to say that this has been one of the highlights of our whole journey so far.
Venice is one of the most beautiful cities i’ve ever seen. It has a personality and charisma like no other. The streets are a maze which we got lost [...]
Over the past few days things havent quite gone according to plan and the one common denominator has been no planning = potentially crappy time.
Fortunately we have been able to turn each of these incidents to positive adventures, but we thought it was finally time we made some official plans. So here we are [...]
Let’s try this again… It looks like my previous post on Paris didn’t work, so here’s another try…
Arrived in Paris yesterday.
Had a little trouble getting our bearings (street signs are hard to understand and not simply due to the language differences).

In the last blog post earlier today we were planning on having a relaxing day of sightseeing around Paris and then catching the night train to Nice.
But that didn’t quite happen. We purchased the train tickets only to double-check them to discover it wasn’t the train trip we had planned. Turns-out the night [...]

Due to sightseeing and socialising, I haven’t had a chance to do a proper recap of our short time in the UK.
But over the past few days it feels like we’ve done a hell of a lot and we have lots of photos to prove it
We’re now sitting on the EuroStar and will arrive [...]
Arrived in London two days ago.
Everything went fairly smoothly – passed through customs, claimed our bags, picked-up a bottle of duty-free scotch for Con since we made him wait at the airport for 4 hours unnecessarily the day before.
Caught the Tube from the airport to Hammersmith where Con met us so we could jump on [...]
Last night we travelled from Brunei to Dubai. Had a refueling stop so we had to deboard (or disboard or whatever the correct word is… As it stands, I’ve had a total of 5 or 6 hours sleep over the last two days… So I may not be as articulate as usual).
Hey, who am [...]
