Before we knew it we had left the Novotel and were on our way to our next destination; Tuscany. After a long never ending trip down and up gravel roads of the hills in Tuscany. We finally made it to the house, Dad booked. The house was quite old fashioned but very cute and big. When we had settled in we decided to take a look around the old castle perched on top of a hill just down the road. The castle was very big and apparently there were people living insi...

Today we left Genova early in the morning and we arrived at La Spezia in Italy around lunch time. Markets were running so we browsed around them before going elsewhere. There wasn't that much to see around so we had lunch and bought some fruit before leaving. We had booked a house in Tuscany for five days. We met the owner of the house at a certain place and then followed him in his car into the hills so he could show us the way to house. We couldn't believe ho...

Finally we reached our first destination; Grassé Perfume Factory. Firstly we got a tour, which helped us get a better incite o...

After spending a few days in Provence we finally set off to Italy. It was a long journey so we had a little sleep and yes I know that is a weird picture of me sleeping but trust me when I say I don't think I have ever slept like that before. :) It was a long drive on the motorway and every 10 minutes or so another toll booth would come into sight! We finally reached Italy and I could hear myself singing inside, literally! The singing soon stopped when we came acr...
