Hope you remember me I am Dilki from Sri Lanka, your Bookshelf of Oz customer. I enjoy the pictures and details of your journey so much that I want to do it myself someday. I really loved the Portugese Custard Tarts. Great to know that you are having fantastic time.

Have fun.

We stayed 12 metro stops from the centre of the city and it cost around 105 euro per night. It was a lovely place to stay though. And much cheaper than the Armani Hotel, which was 8,000 euro per night!

The photos are nearly all Greg’s work – he’s clever with his camera, isn’t he? The panoramic shots are 6 or 8 pics stitched together with some software that he found. They look much better than a wide-angle pic, I reckon.

I’m loving your Blog and the wonderful photos . The Basillica and shots of Milan are fabulous ! The tours don’t usually go there as it’s difficult to find cheap accommodation for groups . Love to you both . Sal x

And we’ve heard quite a few US accents, on Spring Break maybe. What time of year were you in Rome, Sal?

Or perhaps I should be calling you ‘Signora’ … when in Rome ‘n’ all that. Hugs back to you and Sieg

Can remember years back..at St Peter’s…oh inside…like a funfair…people draping themselves over angels and so forth…posing in front of the glass coffin of John 23rd..I’d wondered if they asked him…what he thought of the idea of his body being on display…just in general conversation before he died that is!

love love love the lane photo…continue to add your gorgeousness to the world…hugs
