Mountain biking around the shores of lake Como in Italy near our Caravan park.

This is an old roman amphitheatre in Verona. We are going to come back in a few months for Opera season..

Verona is seriously beautiful, despite being the schmoozy subject of Romeo and Juliet.

You can buy one of these 'rustico' for about a month's wages back at "The Office", any takers for a share? It has vines btw. I hear there is some spare cash floating :)

Behind our caravan park in Florence. Did I mention the wine was seriously cheap, about a dollar a litre?

The entrance to the caravan park in Florence. Florence is beautiful. Tuscan hills in the background. Wine is dangerously cheap here...

Venice was interesting. Caravan park was right on the lagoon and pretty groovy. Lots of aussies from Contiki there, which was nice..

Italian Alps. Fantastic views.

Leaning Tower of Piza

On our way to Florence and called in to visit the famous Leaning Tower of Piza. Gotta say, apart from the Leaning Tower and the leaning Cathedral, that is about all Piza has to offer. Although there were quite a few gypsies trying to rip us off and pick our pockets.............looking forward to getting to Florence.

Ciao,

Typical tourists. We had to do it.

The story so far

We've been in Monaco for Paula's birthday and met up with her family. Thanks for all the well wishes via email, phone and SMS. She was so chuffed!

Have posted lots of pictures and back dated them - so you'll have to crawl back to about London or so to see them!

We might head for Italy next but will be giving Rome a wide steer due to the Pope's condition.
Ciao,
Sambo.
