Italy Day 9
The end was upon us, and we would be spending most of the day travelling, but just like any other day, I started this one with a short run - the last time I’d be running in Italy. Hopefully not the last ever as it’d be nice to one day return to Rome. It would have been nice to have done a slow parkrun at Florence’s Mensola park but this would have made things too tight in the morning, so I just co …

Italy Day 7
Coach, train, and boat, we'd be travelling to Cinque Terre and then going from village to village to explore.

Italy Day 6
Today we'd be exploring Florence on foot, dependent upon how my sister's injured ankle felt.

Italy Day 5
Today was the exciting day we'd get to visit Pisa, but perhaps there was more excitement than we'd bargained for.

Italy Day 2
Our first day was our best chance to see as much of Milan as we could, so it was always going to be a busy day. Perhaps it was a little more rushed than we'd anticipated.

Italy Day 1
It took most of the day to get from home to the apartment in Milan. Despite this, we decided we'd cook our own food this evening, and would begin exploring tomorrow.

Europe Day 12
It took a boat, a train, a bus, a plane, a bus, an underground train, and then about a mile of walking to get from our hotel in Venice to the one in Athens. There was so much potential for the entire day to be ruined if any one of those connections got delayed.

Europe Day 11
This was our day for exploring Venice as the Italian heatwave continued on and drove most people indoors. We carried on seeing the sights, and getting a little lost.

Europe Day 10
Another train journey later and we'd travelled right across Italy to the watery city of Venice. Fortunately we weren't in a rush.

Europe Day 9
By the time of our last day in Rome we didn't have much left to see. We started with the Roman Forum; but soon found ourselves watching Angels & Demons at the local cinema to pass the time.

Europe Day 8
For our second day in Rome we concentrated on photographing some of the smaller sights such as the fountains and squares.

Europe Day 7
We had a full day of exploring Rome, starting with the Vatican Museum and Saint Peters Basillica before crossing the Tiber at the Castel Sant'Angelo to continue on to the Colosseum.

Europe Day 6
Already we were moving on - this time heading north by train to the city of Rome. It was my first time there, and James' second and we'd be spending a few days photographing as much as we possibly could.

Europe Day 5
This was one of the days I'd awaited eagerly. We were off to see the ruins of Pompeii, and would hopefully climb Mount Vesuvius as well - my first volcano.

Europe Day 4
Our swift tour of Berlin was over, and we were now onto our next country: Italy. Here we'd be starting in Naples and moving on from city to city by train until reaching the final country of our trip. For now we'd explore a city that seemed a bit of a dump.
