Rome

Rome has been a quick one, with only one full day of exploring. We had to fit in alot so we were very busy (and tired from our 1am arrival!) yesterday exploring the city. It is ridden with tourists, but actually one of our favourite destinations we think..

Our hotel room was very basic but it had clean sheets and a fridge so we were happy. It was located right in the Vatican City too.

We had our usual overnight oats in the hotel and then headed for the Colloseum. We were very fortunate because with our hotel booking through booking.com we were given a promotion that provided us with a code for 100 Euro free towards Rome attractions, so we managed to get tickets for the Collosseum, Roman Forum/Palatine Hill for free. (Score!)

Fontana De Trevi

Coliseum

Fora Romano/Palatine Hill

Supermarket lunches are our go to in these expensive European countries!.....

On Thursday night we met up with Grace's old flatmate Josh from Palmerston North and his girlfriend Krystina for a few cold beers. There's always someone around this side of the world!

We are now on our way back to London. We'll be staying with Theo's friend James and then we fly out to GOA, India on Sunday. Eeeek a just little bit nervous!

We departed for our day trip on a boat from Otres Beach on Tuesday and that took us snorkelling around a couple of the surrounding islands. We visited elephant rock for some cliff diving..(Theo jumped but not I!) Spot the cliff diver! Then we headed for Koh Ta Kiev where the other people on the boat were just visiting for a few hours and then going back to the mainland, whereas we decided to stay. The tour guide spoke very little English so it was impossible explaining to him where we wanted to be dropped off (especially because we didn't know where it was exactly!) so he ended up stopping the boat and we had to get off right there. We had to carry our 18kg bags on our heads to get them on and off the boat dry Where are we??? !! We discovered that people br...

$1 Camper!

Hi all! Yesterday we picked up our $1 a day relocation camper from Las Vegas..we have four days in this lovely beast and we are driving it to Denver Colorado. There's a lot more room than our dodge caravan that's for sure! It's got a full sized shower, toilet, kitchen with fridge,oven , microwave. It even extends out once parked to make more room! We fly out of Denver on the 13th to Washington DC for a few days or so. We'll then head to New York. :-) Everything is swell! Woohoo! Super excited! Breakfast this morning made by the fabulous Grace
