Ancient Rome – Colosseum and Roman Forum
Not only was our Rome apartment a fun place to stay, even if I did have to share the Divan (Bed) with my beloved brother, Hamish (not!), it’s location was perfect for our plans. Today was the day. The day I had been waiting for. The day we finally would...
How to choose Pizza and Gelato in Italy
When in Italy you need to know how to find the perfect Gelato or Pizza. First you need to know that Italy is the home of Pizza and Gelato but this does not mean that every place sells the good stuff. On our way back from Pompeii our superguide, Roberto,...
My trip to Pompeii
What’s that noise? It’s like an alarm. Is somebody calling me? I wake up. It’s Pompeii Day! We got ready and had breakfast in our apartment. Dad made us a yummy breakfast of cereal with yoghurt, banana and apple slices. We also had toast with cherry jam. ...
Rome – With 10000 of our best friends

Who knew snow could be so much fun?
Wow! Snow! Hamish and I couldn’t believe it! That was snow, literally snow, right in front of us. We could touch it, feel it, let it freeze our hands and still be happy about it. Little snowflakes coated my fingernails like some twisted version of nail...
Journey to Juggenheim
Our last morning in Stockholm was a special one, with three celebrations. It was the first day of the advent and so, at one end of the table the first of 4 candles were lit. It was also Lydia's naming day and in her own unassuming manner she quietly acknowledged the...
Vasa and Skansen
Vasa One of my favourite things in Stockholm is the Vasa museum. Today is my third visit. The Vasa is a massive war ship, built to the King's specifications. The King was determined that his new warship would boast two gun decks and that is what she...
