Venezia

We spent 2 nights in Venice, at a simple little B & B with a great view onto the canal.

I know everyoine seems to love Venice, so im going to be contraversial here - it wasnt my favourite place. 

It is beautiful, charming & there is ceratinly no where else like it on earth, but the thousands of tourists ruined it for me, ironic, becuase i know i was one of them. I have never been anywhere with SO many tourists! 

The streets were full restaurants with 'toutrist menu's' and I was a bit shocked to see even the Rialto bridge had been built over with cheap souvenier shops! We saw the main sights & then got lost in the back alleys away from the crowds.  

Europe - Here we come!

It all starts tomorrow morning at 6am, yes, you heard correctly, we have to be at the airport at 3am…

We are off to Europe for 10 WEEKS!!!! First stop Italy.

More precisely, first stop Milan & out into the Dolomites to chase the Giro D'italia {go Cadel!}

The ten weeks will take in Northern Italy, Southern France, Northern Spain, Croatia & finish with a week in Paris.. 

I shall be taking my laptop so i can share our adventures with you {wifi permitting!}
It won't be 'once daily', but i will try to check in at least once a week & torture you with photos {hehe}

No doubt i'll be instagramming the heck out of this trip {follow me on @sally_rhys_jones}

Au revoir Australia….
