Goodby to Italy


We are sad to say goodbye to Italy with its amazing churches, statues , crowds of people, pizza and pasta. Australians are quite the minority over here and it's like we don't exist, there is never any news of Australia. We won't miss dragging our suitcase up steps to cross bridges and onto crowded canal ferries or met trains - but hey, we managed and we would do it all over again and there are plenty of others doing it. One of the highlights of Venice was the Opera House, it was just amazing. Rarely have we seen anything that isn't amazing though.

We have wandered down many laneways in all of these cities, (where the sun doesn't shine) get lost and then manage to find our way. Wouldn't say the Italians are a very friendly bunch and the ones behind the counters never smile or speak if they don't have to. Jack thinks being a Gondolier is not a bad idea as they get 100euros every 35 mins.
I have fixed up the photos from the last blog, sorry about that.

Anyway I think I have covered the rest in previous blogs so it is onto Innsbruck, Munich and Salzberg...... 5 hours on train.

Have arrived in Innsbruck and have put a jacket on as it is a bit chilly, but a nice change from the heat in Venice.

Love C & J
