buongiorno (or Bonjourno for Inglorious Bastard fans!!)
We are now in the beautiful country of Italy! It was a very (very) long journey entailing 30 hours of travel including 17 hours on a ferry with no place to sleep (we resorted to the floor) and numerous trains. We are spending four nights in Sorrento (an hour out from Napoli). Utterly exhausted upon arrival we showered and had dinner before heading up to the rooftop bar to enjoy the spectacular views. Shortly after fireworks erupted from across the water and continued for over 15 minutes - they outdid Parliament fireworks back home. Today we ventured up to Pompeii. The city was destroyed by a volcanic eruption and has since been unearthed and is the most preserved city of Roman life dating back into the AD. Tomorrow we are doing a boat tour of the island of Capri and we get to swim in caves! Cannot wait!
The rest of the Greek Islands were AMAZING - we had the time of our life and met some fantastic people. We are even planning on meeting up with some of them again when we reach Australia. Santorini was picture perfect and in Ios we partied until dawn. We also went kayaking and snorkeling - as well as an 8 metre cliff jump!
Definitely having a blast and loving life! Everytime we think it cannot get any better - like enjoying ancient ruins, meeting great people, lounging in a hammock or spending time with family - it manages to get only sweeter!
Missing everyone back home and love you all.
Oh - and Mike is utterly addicted to redhot - so anyone feel like spending ridiculous shipping fees - send some over! He went and drank some out of the bottle on the train yesterday.... haha.
