mum Save your feet for the Vacatin lots of walking and queing and fighting those nuns off! Also your neck may hurt you keep having to look up! I found it so hard to keep quiet! because its awsome! love you bucketsxxxxxxxxxxxx

Dave You need to wear something modest for the Vatican or they won't let you in. As I remember this means no bare shoulders for Lucy. Can't remember whether shorts are allowed. Check this before you go.

Slime You should join in with some of the parties, I had loads of fun and you meet new people. Also highly recommend getting a tour around the Vatican. You get to avoid the huge huge queue and you there is so much to learn and take in, that you'd probably miss it if you just wondered in. Have either of you read the Da Vinci code?

Graham and Dawn Glad to hear you have a chance to wind up springs. All that rushing around but of course worse things happen at sea..... Carried out a snap inspection of the Black Bull today. Not satisfied so shall repeat tomorrow. May take some time I fear. Life can be quite demanding at times...Vatican on a Sunday has the Pope appearing like a cuckoo clock bird I think. Don't miss it! LOL, G&D

G&D VMT yr e mail. Have now seen Rome pics. V gd . Strong sun but you have no hats. Pith helmet would have been ideal... Cover up more and look like Anglo Saxons. Grandad says. Happy walking ! G&D
