August 2010 - Italy -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our last day in Rome and we finally find a place to have breakfast. One that doesn’t cost 53.50 Euro per person (Hotel Buffet), instead it would cost a far more reasonable 26.50 Euro…for all of us. We would head to »
August 2010 - Italy -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NB. Writing this was next to impossible. 715pm - Eleven people walked into an empty Sistine Chapel, minutes passed in silence. Speechless. Earlier that morning we had scouted out our meeting place down near the Vatican Museum. I had hoped when watching the hundreds of »
August 2010 - Italy -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Today’s adventure started earlier than most with a walk through the Borghese Park to the Gallerie Borghese. Since tickets had to be pre-booked and we had none we were hoping that people were not up at 830 in the morning to go and appreciate »

This was the reason we were here, to see what this road had to offer, and it certainly didn’t disappoint. »
August 2010 - Italy -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How convenient, the Hotel has an exclusive lift down to the ferry wharf. Shame the remainder of Capri was nowhere near as exclusive. We queued for the ferry even though we had tickets, we stood in the wrong queue for the cable car only to »
August 2010 - Italy -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are no clocks in our room. Clearly the Hotel is not fussed about time, or at least feels that we shouldn’t be. Let me clarify for a second, we bought plenty of clocks with us… Phones, laptops, watches but this morning when we »
August 2010 - Italy -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0 Hours Our story begins on a sunny Sydney afternoon, after frantically packing the morning away and eating the last remaining contents of the fridge we were on our way to the airport for a much anticipated adventure. Now I know I usually don’t »
