Ahh Amsterdam... what can you say. It is everything you have heard people say about it and more. Picturesque, beautiful, clean... and full of drugs alcohol and hookers. we were so stoked that finally people in europe not only understood english, but were more than willing to speak it back to you. we had no idea where to go, and a taxi drive…
Well..
After being oblivious to this trip for a good 11 months, the time has finally come for Josh and Ella to depart on their menacing journeys. We take off before christmas, so hopefully we've caught up before and said our goodbyes, we wish you could all come with us...haha not! We spend the majority of our trip in Italy, beginning in Rome and then rome-ing around (haha) on contiki from north to south.

After being oblivious to this trip for a good 11 months, the time has finally come for Josh and Ella to depart on their menacing journeys. We take off before christmas, so hopefully we've caught up before and said our goodbyes, we wish you could all come with us...haha not! We spend the majority of our trip in Italy, beginning in Rome and then rome-ing around (haha) on contiki from north to south. Christmas day is in gorgeous Florence, and we'll be in the heart of Rome for a massive party on new years eve! We trek up to the Netherlands to pop in to Amsterdam for a day or two, trying not to get in too much trouble there!! we'll take photo's promise...
Then it's off to London to visit Josh's cousin, and do a bit of pommy sight seeing, then we get to go snowboarding in Austria!! Anyways, we cant wait to go, we'll send you photo's and emails whenever we can, hope you all have a merry christmas and bring in the new year until we get back!

We headed for venice and passed through verona on the way. Verona is famous for probably two things you may not know... first it has a colloseum of its own which is fairly cool, and second its…
Milan... bit of a tragic story. Ella was crook in the stomach so shopping was a bit of a nightmare. and the bloody lazy italians had shut half the shops!! they dont do anything during the regu…

Congratulations to both of you on your engagement, we're thrilled (after getting over the shock!!). Very romantic Josh - a proposal on the balcony overlooking the Mediterranean, well planned!
Italy looks fantastic - just like we remember it - though a bit cooler in winter, but still fabulous. We're totally jealous and would love to be with you guys, though we're a bit over the age limit for Contiki! Next time...
We all miss you both heaps, but its great staying in touch - where would be without SMS??
Perth's been stinking hot, so I think you're in the better spot weather-wise. Look forward to hearing more of the trip and seeing photos.....
Richard, Liz and Chris
