Ingrams on the Road
We are heading off on the trip of a lifetime. A whirlwind tour of Europe and the United States. A chance to revisit places of old for Megan and new adventures for the rest of us. Discover our Adventures
Good morning Snow
The next morning we got up and got ready as usual without realising the surprise that Lucerne had in store for us. Mum or Dad asked Hamish to open the curtains of our room. He yelled, "It's snow - come here". We all rushed towards the window cramming...
Hello Lucerne
After our early start in Venice we boarded our first of 3 trains for the day and set off for Lucerne. I love the fast trains in Europe and have been trying to get a photo of the speed read out. Unfortunately, although I have seen speeds higher than 250...
Goodbye Venice
One of the best things about Venice was our wanderings. We would literally head out from the hotel with one person taking the lead, and making random decisions about direction whenever coming to an intersection. Yes! - we did re-trace our footsteps many...
Our Gondola ride
Gondolas are fun, little, black, slim boats that rock and tilt. People on the street draw you in for ride. A ride can cost a lot of money if you don’t negotiate a price. Gondoliers still ferry visitors along Venetian waters, as they have for a...
Glass Blowing, Lace and an Old Church

Venice – Here we come
Travelling days usually see us as hot, sticky messes as we heave our bags through ever increasing levels of security checkpoint, battle pre-Christmas crowds and dodge the poor weather. Although today still had us heading out into rain, we did have a late...
Making Pizza and Gelato in Florence
Megan loves playing with new social media and content tools. Here is one example of the fun she has trying different ways to present our photos. This video was created using the Clips app on her phone. She has even created her own Youtube channel! It has...
Leather, Pizza and Gelato
Today was originally going to be a day of museums and churches, but due to our exceptional good luck on our first day with short lines and quick access, we had knocked off the main places we wanted to visit. Instead, today became a chill out day. A day...
Our first day in Florence
Darkness settled around us like a blanket, the early morning choruses of the birds echoed off the old apartment buildings, years of history hidden in each one. We were sadly leaving Rome and its history behind but ready to start a brand new adventure in...
Rome Today
It is impossible to visit Europe without visiting an endless variety of churches, museums, clock towers and ruins. They are completely fascinating but equally fatiguing. Terms such as Too Many Bloody Churches (TMBC), Another Bloody Belltower (ABB) etc.,...
