Hi guys, Hope all is well. I'm very jealous... nothing has changed here, I am not enjoying the silly season, hospitality sucks. I had a job interview the other day, so fingers crossed. Keep having fun. Love Elise (and Daz!!)

What's the Bar Al Car Can like 100m to your left (as you go out the front door) along the canal. Just the other side of the bridge. We can smell the coffee from here !! I could go a coffee and pastry right now. Did you see the huge Christmas tree near the Colosseum? It was shown on the news tonight. Love M and D

Hope the transition to Venice was a bit smoother than to Rome. About time we saw some photos!!! What's the itinery for Venice? Any gondola rides? We're all well and madly Christmas shopping. Must do something about the tree this week. Had a lovely night at Zac's last night. The weather has cooled off a bit but still no rain! There have been very bad fires on KI this week. Is there a transport strike in Italy because we had a programme here that indicated that it was a bit chaotic that weekend that you arrived? Dad has finally finished his Christmas cards. Missing you both. Love M and D

Sounds as though you are having fun, although a few hiccups at first, hey? Lack of sleep might have something to do with that!! Lots of love from all at Gumnut Court. Keep safe!

Hi Guys

Sounds like you are having a great time - very funny blog, now its all about keeping it going for the whole trip. Hey Ann, I tried calling before you left, but I think I left it way to late - don't stress have fun. I am off to Thailand tomorrow, so trying to finish my workload before going. Anyway stay safe.

YES !! we found the site.

Star Wars in Italian sounds like a great treat late on a rainy night !! Hope you are having fun. Love us.
