Pisa and Florence. Ample excuses for typical tourist shots.

The choice was - push the tower over, or hold the tower up. I’m good
at destruction, so the answer was simple. Push the Leaning Tower of
Pisa over…

Venice. It’d be nicer without 50,000 other tourists.

Venice - crowded, busy and quirky.

Did you know that they used to chop off the end of somebodys nose if
they were committed of theft? They also used to dangle people from
the top of the bell tower to try and make them change their ways…

Curiouser, and curiouser….

cinque terre - picture postcards from heaven.

If you dont know how to say it - it’s something like “Chink-weh
Terror”… and it is possibly the most stunning place on earth.

We sat on the rocks, drank amazing red wine and watched the sun set
over the Meditteranean. After the chaos of Venice, it was utter
bliss.

I hope I live long enough to go back there one day.

Budapest

Budapest -

Seen Buda, seen Pest. Seen the dodgy Kareoke Bar at 3am…

Managed to get a lot of things done in this lovely city - so much
history to absorb! Visited the House of Terror, on Andrassy Bvd…
still reeling from some of those stories.

Went into the ancient Labrynth - without a lantern because the
numbscull working the desk forgot to give me one. Scared myself
shitless when I thought I’d got lost! Thankfully, I’d packed my
MacGuyver Pocket Knife and LED torch - so I was safe from David
Bowie…

I recommend everybody comes here to check this cool city out!

Prague - Pretty but very commercial

Saturday, September 19th, 2009 | Uncategorized | No Comments

After the peace and quiet of Krakow, we landed in pretty Prague. We
were living right in the Old Town, so it was easy to get in to see all
the attractions. I spotted the Astronomical Clock. It was very
astronomical.

 I didn’t realise how interesting the history of the place was, so that
was an unexpected bonus. The beer was also unexpectedly fantastic.

 Visited the Castle - and walked over the Charles Bridge… along with
50,000,000 other tourists!!

 Now in Cesky Krumlov - about to go explore!
