Hey guys!
Sorry for no updates recently, had no access to internet. Wow, so we left Naples and had a 2 hr train ride to Rome, very scenic :) It was sad leaving our new family and friends but we will probably see some of them in London. We saw so much in Rome the colosseum, Spanish steps, the Pantheon, and the Trivi fountain (Poppa i threw a coin in for ya xo). We saw so much more aswell! The hotel was nice, the next morning we ate as much as we could for breakfast and set off to see the Vatican - WOW! it was quite packed even though it was a wet day. we had a kiwi as our tour guide! glad we got him, it meant we skipped the 2 hour line and went straight on in. He knew so much too and explained everything really well. The Sistine Chapel was like awesome, alot of people but it was spectacular and so much to take in! never thought i'd see any of the stuff i have so far!
Yesterday we got on a train to florence, we very nearly missed it!! we were running with backpacks on! man, we were baking in our puffer jackets but just got on as it was about to leave! thank goodness! we then got off at a stop that was not the right one when they said it was, by now it was dark and wet, but spirits were still high. we found a man who spoke english, thankfully he helped us get on a bus and get to the town center - no one spoke english where we were. so that was our first experience of bad italian transport! and might i add Danae made a very graceful entrance onto the bus, tripping and ending up in some guys lap!!!
We got to our hotel and have just been up the doumo, awesome views of Florence!
Will post photos when i can
Ciao for now

Good to hear you have been able to see so much in Rome...we have been googling all the places you have seen. Clearly not nearly as good as actually being there though. Sounds like Danae has her own unique way of meeting the locals !!
Hope the weather is not too bad...looks like you might be heading for some cooler temperatures as you head north... those puffer jackets will come in handy !!....(don't know about THE shoes) hahaha.
Love,
Mum and Dad
