We arrived into Italy by walking across the border from the Slovenian train station then made our way onto another train to Venice. Some might say we were celeb hunting as we were in time for George Clooney's wedding but we missed them all anyway! We had a couple of days exploring Venice and joined a walking tour that took us around many of the back streets, starting near the train station and ending up in a very busy San Marco square which made us appreciate eve...

First up was Whitstable, a lovely seaside town east of London and finally one without a tacky pier! We dined at the amazing Wheelers Oyster Restaurant which has only 4 tables but the most amazing, freshest seafood and some very good oysters. We had our Oysters Bloody Mary style...
