ciao. Thomas writting today. I must say the tour of the Nou Camp yesterday was immense and everyone should go and Steve feels the same. The trip over from Barcelona was smooth and shocking all at once. We wont recount the details until we get back but it left Anna and Steve fuming (not due to me i this time) but suffice to say we do not recommend Grimaldi Ferries!

However we all had a good night sleep and feel refreshed and ready for the adventures of Rome. The hostel we are staying is a very nice two bedroom apartment, very swish. Finished cooking dinner of pasta (when in Rome!) and a bottle of Vino Rosso. Off to see the sights tomorrow and friday so we will fill you in later in the week.

Hope all is well and ill be writing again soon now over to Anna, ciao.

Hey Anna here, just wanted to say thank you to mum and dad for the advice for the attractions here in rome, we will be checking them out tmw. (although sorry again with the miss understanding with the text message , you know what I mean mum). also didnt flex the shopoholic card like the master but did manage to make a fair good go at it! prob more than i should have, eek

anyways speak to you soon, lots of love x Anna x over to steve,

Hello all. Firstly want to wish mum and dad a good holiday to south africa. Secondly want to re-iterate how much we would not recommend grimaldi ferries and i feel a strong letter of complaint coming on so i may need your services in that department please dad. Ciao for now!

P.S. Anna has been having Chinzano in her sandwich not Chorizo as Steve and I have. She needs to brush up on her pronounciation!
