Recently, we have been letting the kids have a run at the local oval and the LOVE it. Couple of laps round the green and both Pirate and Ashleigh come back slobbering with excitement and totally exhausted!

There is so much history in Rome that it would have a PhD to see it all!

We arrived in Rome received by blistering heat of 40 degrees and was grateful for having group passes to the Vatican Museum, St Peter's Balistica and Colloseum. Again, words and pictures fail to describe the scale and magnificence of  each site and you have to be there to experience it.


ENTRANCE TO THE VATICAN MUSEUM & A BUST OF JULIUS CEASER


EXAMPLE OF FINE TAPESTRY - THE EYES OF JESUS ARE LOOKING AT YOU NO MATTER WHICH ANGLE YOU VIEW THE TAPESTRY FROM!


THE GENIUS MICHELANGELO - 3D PAINTINGS? NO! MICHELANGELO USED SHADOWS TO CREATE THE 3D EFFECT OF THESE PAINTINGS! AMAZING!


INSIDE ST PETER'S BALISTICA - THE BIGGEST CHURCH IN THE ROMAN CATHOLIC WORLD!

It's Day 8 of our Cosmos Tour around Europe and we are halfway through our 21 day journey through the best of Europe. Its been tough with early wakeup calls, continental breakfasts, instant noddle dinners and long bus rides BUT... it's all worth the while seeing the spectacular sights and wonderful history. You simply have to be here to experience it as words and pictures fail to tell the full story.

Our journey so far saw us visit: London > Belgium (passing through) > Amsterdam, The Netherlands > Rhineland & Heidelberg, Germany > Lake Lucerne, Mt Titlis & Lugano, Switzerland > Verona, Venice & Rome, Italy.

Here's a quick summary of the places so far..

US IN A GLACIER CAVE @ MT TITLIS, SWITZERLAND

We can all say that Baby Pum's cravings have been satisfied.



and just when you thought you have seen everything in Singapore, we stumbled upon the most colourful bin in the world! A transit would not be complete without a haircut. foot massage & eyebrow threading all in the very place we used to 'date" during Chinese New Year Eve.... CHINATOWN!

 

Next stop, London!

 

Here's Baby Pumz' heating up prior to our departure from cold Perth. Its strange heading to Europe knowing that its going to be significantly warmer there than in Perth. The free lemon lime bitters & grainwaves were complimentary from Qantas who very kindly sent us 2 complimentary Qantas Club passes which we used prior to departure.
