Its been a week since you last heard from us and in this time there has been little to report on. During this absence Helen has turned into a black girl with little more to see than shiny pearly eyes and teeth and I have just about covered up my translucent skin (I may sell Helen while I have the chance). From this you can gather that we have spent a significant period of time on the beach doing b***** all but being chased by 'the beast' and rabid dogs. We did ho...

So.....Slovenia. A very pleasant surprise. Neither of us had any idea what to expect really, but when we reached there (at 2am) we took an instant liking to it. Ljubljana is a beautiful city, I use the term city loosely, model village would be more appropriate. It was clean, very pleasing on the eye and best of all hardly any tourists. Michelle and I are pretty much convinced we are going to move there. Our first day was spent generally wandering around the cit...

Helen is weak and has gone to bed so I will inform you of our latest activities (I hear people actually read this thing!)

He also happens to live in a 3 star hotel which appeared to be empty- was in fact full but dont know where t...

Ummmmmmmmmmm.......*thinking* Helen and I have decided we're getting very very old. On our first day in Naples we visited Pompei and did some not so strenuous walking around the ruins with a midday nap (in the 79AD old amphitheatre) we came home pretty damn exhausted. Pompei was an interesting day with lots of old lava damaged buildings, corpses and brothels. Firstly to note, pompei is huge, much bigger than expected and for being such a long time ago they seem ...

Where to start in Rome!? This was Hannah's last stop so we have had to pack a lot in, which we did in impressive style. Ok first of all we went to hang out with the Pope at the Vatican city. This involved waking up ridiculously early so as to avoid the hordes of hideous tourists. Yes I know we are technically tourists, but we're not annoying or Japanese therefore that makes us better than everyone else. We strolled around the Vatican museum and visited the Sistin...
