Hello again,

We are still here, going strong.  Since Marseille we have

• Barcelona:
  • Eaten Paella
  • Eaten Churros
  • Seen the Sagrada Familia
  • Visited the Parc Guell (with the long Gaudi bench
• Paris:
  • Climbed the Arc de Triopmhe
  • Visited Disneyland
  • Saw the Pantheon
  • Ascended to the top of the Notre Dame
• London:
  • Seen the British Museum
  • Seen the Museum of London
  • Shopped at Harrods
  • Saw the inside of the Houses of Parliament
  • Decided not to see the inside of Westminster Abbey

That’s about the highlights for now.  I have been “plogging” so will catch up with the blogs when we return home.

Hello,

We’ve not had much time to blog recently as our only time in front of a computer has been booking hotels or figuring out where the hotels are.

From memory, we have done the following since Sep 2nd:

• Rome:
  • Walked along the Appian Way
  • Visited the catacombs of Saint Sebastian
  • Eaten excellent gelati and biscuits
  • Eaten at a wine bar (yes, and had wine) while sitting on chairs in an alleyway, while traffic zipped past
  • Walked across a bridge from 62BC
• Berne (Switzerland):
  • Saw the “Bear Pits”
  • Walked over a large old bridge with houses underneath the bridge
  • Eaten Swiss chocolate
• Luzern:
  • Listened to an awful, awful brass band
  • At too much chocolate
  • Walked over yet another bridge, this time wooden and covered
• Passed through Geneva
• Lyon:
  • Climbed a massive set of stairs
  • Sat in a large Roman ampitheater
• Marseille:
  • Saw the “old port”
  • Ate better gelati than Rome’s gelati (Venice and Pisa were good though)

That about brings us up to date. I will try to elaborate further when I can.
