Pay Attention! The map's interactive, play with it! This is not a comprehensive map of our trip, this is just what we know is happening, plus vague ideas of what might happen. We'll let you know when we get there, and update the map appropriately. If the names of the places don't appear, try clicking on "map" or "satellite", they have more labels on them.

PHOTOS!

Ok, finally we are in Italy, and we have some photos for the faithful!
Our trip to Rome was an interesting one. We booked ourselfves an airport transfer to Geneva airport for our flight to Rome. Upon getting in the van out the front of our hotel the driver asks us "so how are you getting to Geneva", we were sort of hoping hed be able to tell us that!
He told us that he was only meant to take us to Bourg Saint Maurice (sort of the Jindabyne of France) and didnt know how we were getting to Geneva, about 160km away.
Turns our nobody knew how we were meant to get there, there was no bus waiting for us. Our transfer company then told us to catch a taxi, which turned out to be a hire car, and theyd get us back. €300 later we were on the plane to Rome, after the driver took EVERY back road to avoid traffic.

Anyways, we are now in Sorrento, and here are some photos.
Does this need an explanation?













Our tiny bathroom in Paris



















Notre Dame is pretty




















Some random street in Paris I thought was nice



















Foucalts Pendulum in the Partheon in Paris (we havent been to the rome one yet)














The veiw from our room in Paris














WINTER WONDERLAND!




























The village just below us, unfortunately not ours














Pompei!














And heres Sorrento, our hotel is the white building down on the level of the breakwall. No Im not joking.















Everythings going fine.

mum said I have arived in czech. The trip from the front door to door was about 33 hours never flying Emirats again the extra stop is awfull. The landing was the most exciting my stomach ever experienced, we nearly landed there was inches in it when we went straight up again,aparently someone else needed the runway moore,we all claped when we finaly landed 20 minutes later. Pepa picked me up and it snowed all the way home, when Lenka gets home she might put som picks on. Hey boys whats your news we are all henging out for more. XXX
