Buongiorno from Italy!
Its now day 9 and we have finally got a spare 20 minutes to say Hi.
The trip so far is pretty hectic with not enough time in each city to get to an internet cafe. Usually we get from around 10am - 4pm free time but thats to take in a whole city like Paris or Barcelona so pretty crazy!
So far we have been to Paris, Bordeaux, Barcelllona, Nice, Monaco, Pisa and we are now in Florence. Off to Rome tomorrow.
The group we are with is great, a big range of ages from 19 - 37. Mostly Canadians and Aussies with 2 Americans, 3 Philipinos, and we were surprised to find ourselves as the only 2 kiwis.
Argh! only 12 minutes left so, highlights... (excuse spelling)
Paris - VE day, big parade down main street, Louvre, Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower by night, great views from the Arc.
Bordeaux - 1 night, nice dinner at sunset in a square with a canadian couple, Josie and Reed.
Barcellona - Awesome flamenco show, lots of shopping, good nightlife.
Nice - Walk along the promenade, climbed the mountain to look down on the harbour.
Monaco - lost 50 euro at The Grande Casino on Roulette. Nice dinner by the Palace.
Pisa - Dirty and depressing, overrun by hawkers and stalls. Got obligitory photo holding up the tower.
Florence - Beautiful architecture, great food, lots of leather stalls, great night of dancing and karaoke for Josies birthday.
Got to run,
Ciao!

Hey guys!
Missing you back here in NZ but glad you are getting to see (what sounds like) everything... and did I mention JEALOUS... SO JEALOUS!
Just remember to do some quality relaxing as well

Woohoo!! Go the filipino's! Yes, it's actually "f" not 'ph'. It only makes it easier for my country people to pronounce as they always get the two mixed up. For example - Fish can sometimes be called "phis".
Anyways, I'm so glad you did the really cheesy "holding the tower" photo.
It's amost over for you two isn't it?
Keep having fun. Don't drink too much - you need to remember what to write in these blogs. hehe.
Take care and happy trails.
Hi guys, love all the updates. Your making me miss Europe even more than normal. Can't wait to see the photo's.
Ah yes, Monaco, it's best to go there on someone elses money.. looks like you had a very cool time, was good to see you after all these years!
