Venice.

VENICE.
DAY 9
This was our one full day in Venice. We awoke on the train, ate the breakfast we had packed in our bags and watched out the window as we approached Venice. The train arrived in Venice around 9am, which allowed up most of the day to explore. There were only a few sights that we had planned to see and in the end we decided just to explore, wonder and ditch the museums. Venice was cute. Lots of steps up and down the bridges and we were never able to find the same location twice as the alleys were so confusing. I had done a lot of research before the trip about what to do in Italy and one blog post stuck out to me, it was about how everyone should have gelato twice a day minimum and we now know why. We were more the once a day, but we certainly did not miss a day. The blog also explain the flavours and how to find an authentic location, I highly recommend doing some gelato research before you go.

Paris.

PARIS
Day 4
We left London and took the night bus to Paris. Little did I realize that driving in the city would almost make me hurl, but the bus ride was a million times better than the flight we slept like babies. From my research I did ahead of time on how the bus would cross the English Channel, it was either going to go on a ferry or underground, but everything was pointing towards underground, which would have been wonderful as we would not need to get off the bus, this however was not the case. We took a HUGE ferry across, where we found a spot and slept. This was also Brent's first time with half a sleeping pill, it hit him hard.

January - February Books.


These past few months with so much driving I have had the chance to do a number of audiobooks and have actually had a few that I absolutely loved.


London BABY!


So those words 'LONDON BABY' may or may not have come out of my mouth a number of times as we spent our first four days of our adventure in LONDON England. Sadly my husband did not fully appreciate the friends reference or the time we were turned around and I wanted to go inside the map, but I personally found it a riot.

September-December Books.


I am so behind! I have also been so busy that I have done next to no reading these past few months. September and October were full of reading travel guides and planning for Europe and since we have been home it has been busy busy busy with Christmas and everything.
