Semester in Italy 2007

We took a day trip to Genoa on this lovely Saturday. We first visited the aquarium there (the largest in Europe!) which was a lot of fun, then enjoyed the beautiful weather by the port, had a delicious full lunch, and then went to the mall! Yes, Genoa ...

 

Italy

Italy is one of the places Sal & I wanted so see the most, the amazing history and beautiful scenery of the country seems to put it at the top of most people’s lists when they come to Europe. We decided quite a while before the trip that we want...

 

Our big trip

Gavin’s bit: The Hilton put on a great breakfast spread, and after Sam polished off about three courses we eventually made our way back out onto the M3, shooting down to Portsmouth. Today we visited the Royal Navy’s base down on the Solvent. Abou...

 

Justin's World Tour 2006-2007

Greetings everyone from the heart of the former evil empire. Yes I am still alive...this is a good sign haha. Anyways my god do I ever have alot to talk about. Russia is just incredible, lets just say its the most crooked, culturally intense, beautiful...

 

Coast to coast italico

Arrivo a Volterra che sono quasi le sei del pomeriggio. Mi interessa girare per il centro, fare un po' di foto e mangiare in qualche ristorante tipico....

 

Europe = love

Saturday morning, I got up and went to meet the other Jill, for a bit of Paris sightseeing. Unfortunately, when we went to put her luggage in the train station lockers, her wallet got stolen. I feel awful, because I actually saw the guy who did it, but...

 

Life of a Working Holidaymaker

A significant month. The 15th marked my 6 month anniversary of arrival in London. In celebration, I spent the day in Cambridge. It was a great day, with beautiful weather and plenty of green fields, pretty rivers, funky old buildings, and lazing uni st...

 

Touring Italy with Trenitalia

We had orginally thought of visiting Pompei as part of a trip to Naples after having seen enough of Rome. Part of the advantage of not over-planning the trip in advance was that we could change that. Naples, we'd heard and read, was not a pleasant plac...

 

Italy

Day 1 of my fairwell travels and rather painfully I found myself getting up at 3.30am to make it to the airport on time. Finally getting to Rome around noon and after dumping my stuff at the Hostel I headed out to do a little exploring. My housemate is...

 

wet weekend in Italy

Decided to do it the easy way for once and booked a British Airways flight out of Gatwick for Pisa. I can't say I really missed the mad scramble for seats on the Ryanair flight and the price was much the same. We have a boat on the Ligurian COast in La...

 

ITALY

I traveled with friends first to Venice which I immediately fell in love with. And no it didn't smell bad like so many say it does. It is so nice to be able to walk down the streets without any cars in sight (or sound). On my way to Florence, I stopped...

 

European Getaway

Before arriving in Nice today we stopped off at a French perfumary called Fragonard. We had a tour of the lab, heard about the elusive "Nose", who makes up the purfumes for each factory. Apparently it takes something like 1000kg of flowers ...

My Adventures Around Italy

i went to Rome on a college trip from 12-18th February. The weather was gorgeous and most of us just walked around in t-shirts while the Italians were wrapped up in their furs. We went all over, St Peters, The Sistine Chapel, 'The Wedding Cake', Spanis...

 

Italy 2005

Italy has to be like one of the most interesting and good looking countries in the world, pity about the natives though. They couldn't even be bothered to learn a word or two of English to defend themselves with, it serves them right. I'd be a littl...

A Week in Italy

Another road trip, this time south to Mount Vesuvius and the ruins of Herculaneum. Fanny's not quite up to date with the road layout so we confuse her a bit as we can't turn when she tells us to but we manage to find the long and winding road to the to...

 

At The Umbrian Villa

I hate writing these things at home, after the fact. The whole point is to keep in touch while on the road. However, in some cases (such as this one) I like to reflect with the clarity of hindsight on a trip well taken. Actually that last part isn'...

 

A Child's Europe

Gray Paris. We slept in our Volkswagon bus as the rain poured down making signs that we were only partially welcomed. I bought postcards of naked female statues and the Eiffel Tower. We found a dingy pension and ate watery spaghetti....I was satisfied,...

 

My Semester Abroad

Our weekend in Paris was full of interesting sites and people. Communicating in another language is always fun, especially when you don't know it. And as most of you all know I have a hard enough time communicating my thoughts in English let alone in...

RTW with Steph and Dion

Written by Dion August 11-12, 2006 We decided to spend a couple of days in Uruguay, so we boarded the 9:00AM Buquebus ferry from Buenos Aires, Argentina to Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay on Friday morning. The ferry itself was quite nice and the rid...
