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!

Hello :-)

Hello Everyone! Sorry we have been away from the computer the last few days! Both Theo and I have been unwell with a bad tummy bug :-S We were trapped in our Bangkok accommodation for about three days! Luckily we were able to do some exploring before and after all of this, and we are now at the airport heading to Chiang Mai for the week. Bangkok has been pretty chaotic, we started out just off Khaosan Road which is the backpackers central. In his element ordering Thai street food (Probably what made him sick !!) We then moved to a quieter area but still close to everything. We took the boat ferry for 14 Baht each ( 60 cents ) to the Grand Palace. What a beautiful place! But as usual, packed with tourists! On the boat taxi We saw a Symphony Orchestra in the park More updates to come. Miss and love you all xxx

Travel changes and update! :-)

Hello :-) We have made some decisions in the last week and have now got some plans set in stone. Tomorrow we fly to Colombo, Sri Lanka. We had planned on staying a whole month but we are now only staying about ten days. Apparently this is a nice amount of time to see the sights of Sri Lanka and we are both keen on getting on the homestretch! Our next destination is Boracay Island in the Phillipines. We are flying there via Kuala Lumpar on the 28th of September and plan to stay for around 5 full days/7 days including travel. Not booked yet, but in the making is our flight from Boracay to Melbourne (5th October...?) We think we will stay in Melbourne and visit family for about a week and then... we are coming HOME!!! :-) See you soon! xxxx G & T
