Finally got through the customs to the gate. Everyone is so connected to their smart devices (us included) that they forget to read the signs telling them not to have their phones out while going through customs. The other funny thing is people dont get how to use...

Germany Stayed at a friends house in semi-rural germany Moers (I think). Went to a Roman ruin nearby and saw almost identical architecture as to what was in Rome. Truly the Roman empires reach was colossal. Cologne has a huge Cathedral it's a good walk to the top and...
Sights. Colesseum, Roman Forum, Palatine Hill. €12.00 well spent. truly amazing for it's time. So many sports domes look so much like it (Colosseum) now. Pantheon: Loved it. Looking a bit dicayed outside but inside splendid. Still amazed how they managed to raise 20...
As previously mentioned we spent a day and a night in Dubrovnik. So the next target was the Amalfi Coast in Italy Specifically a Holiday Apartment in Praiano ( which is beautiful by the way - it's clean, it's stylish, I feel beautiful here ). To get here is where the...

I haven't really been blogging much re the trip. Too busy being a tourist. Praiano was lovely and we did a lot of stuff. We had a good and classy apartment. Great views Positano. Walked about 11km's from Praiano to Positano and enjoyed a beer with Pete. Then returned...
Arrived at Salerno at 12:30ish. Seems they close the shops between 2-4. The leather shop we wanted was already shut just after 1PM. But you know what they say "when in Salerno do as the Salernians do" Next stop Rome via Eurostar.
Praiano is nestled on a hill on the Amalfi coast. Its all Terraced gardens and rendered stone houses. I now understand more the way the expatriate Italians in Aus build because I've now seen so many examples in Italy. Went to Pompeii yesterday. Very extensive well...
