Well it is Saturday afternoon on a lovely Spring day in Melbourne (I am not sure why everyone has been complaining about the weather here 🙂 ). The flight home was OK - I have decided I have one of those faces that gets picked for every random full on security check. I got picked …
Day 27 – Rome: Arrivederci
As we have a 3:30am start tomorrow morning I thought I would write my closing post a little earlier. So today is the last day of our trip. We opted for a slower start and a walk around some of the shops. As it happened we ended up walking to the Piazza del Popolo where …
Day 26 – Rome
As I mentioned yesterday we planned to do a 3 hour walking tour today; and we did. We started at the Colosseum so that meant getting up early to have breakfast before setting off to get to the Colosseum and find where we were meant to meet the tour guide. We were not sure how …
Day 25 – Rome
Our first full day in Rome was full on. To start - the weather is great, warm and sunny (about 26ish). After breakfast we opted for the hop on/hop off bus trip. We usually do the whole circuit initially to orientate ourselves and then work out where we would like to explore. The bus trip …

Day 21 – Positano: Cruising along the Amalfi Coast
Well it was another day in this idyllic part of the world. Today we opted to take a cruise along the Amalfi coast. Altogether there were 10 of us on this cruise plus our "skipper" Enzo (a native of Positano). Of the 10 of us 1 was Italian (and could only speak Italian), 2 Australians …

Day 20 – Positano
So today we had a slower start. The sun was up the people out and about - well not too early - people started gathering around 10:30am. People start arriving from other areas by ferry around 9:30am and people from Positano take trips to the Isle of Capri, or cruise along the Amalfi Coast or …
