A few more pictures of our favourite spot... enjoy!

Riamagorre. One of the five villages that make up Cinque Terre. We spent the day walking and catching the train between them. Beautiful colorful and unique part of the coastline of Italy. A real highlight of our trip!!

We tried very hard to straighten the leaning tower of Pisa but had no luck. We are pretty sure many others have also tried to do this in the past.

                                 George couldn,t believe the size of this mortadello. Thought he would be able to make                   sandwiches for the entire Portarlington Primary School. Yummy.

           

We visited Vatican City the richest city in the world. We saw many amazing things on our tour and met some interesting characters from the past and learned about the Roman empire. 

Having some refreshments before starting off on our tour of the Vatican.  

We saw the Sistene Chapel ceiling but we were not allowed to take any photo's.

St Peter's basilica is part of Vatican city. It is the largest church in the world and there will never be another one built bigger. 

George and Darcie met up with a Sphynx.

Having fun at the vatican with the tour guide playing with one of the gifts given to the pope. 

"The Colesseum" What an amazing relic of days gone by.  Damaged by an earthquake in the 1300's not to mention  theft of all its marble, gold and brass during the Dark Ages in history amazingly it is still standing. Its real name is Flavian's Ampitheatre.

The Trevi Fountain in Rome. What a great place to have a rest and cool down.

George has got a great book of Ancient Rome for 'Show and Tell' when he gets back to school. 

Catching up with a few local kids for a game of Soccer or should we say football,

and a few élocution lessons in french from the experts...
Taste sensations of the world - A real French hot chocolat, thanks Vicki
Chapel of St Michel in a small town in the south of France called Le Puy en Valle. It is one of the oldest Chapels in France and was constructed on 14th July 968. What a sight! and a lot of steps...
Typical French streetscape.
Our First Ride at Disneyland, it only took one hour lineup. (What a day to go, it was a public holiday ha ha!)
Every kids dream... To see this in the flesh. We had an amazing day, George and Darcie had heaps of fun and enjoyed the roller coasters.

Welcome to Paris, we went right up to the summit!

Relaxing in the centre of the Louvre, before head-in to capture a glimpse of the Mona lisa. Not to mention some of the other amazing works inside... The Louvre is extremely big and we would need at least 3 days to see it all.

Check out some of the places we have seen and visited in the last few days in Paris. Ooh la la... so amazing. Above is the Arc De Triomphe it is also situated in the centre of the largest round-a-bout we have ever seen!!

London life - Another train trip, making sure we are up-to-date with the local news

Westminster Abbey in all it's glory, many of the British Royals are laid to rest here, not to mention Shakespeare.

Check us out in a traditional phone booth.

We also ran into a couple of Policemen while in London, They call Police "Bobbies" in England. They also wear strange helmets.

We called in to see the Queen at Buckingham Palace, however she would not let us in. Darcie was most disappointed!

We have been really busy while in London, we did a tour of the Tower of London - full of lots of amazing history, we managed to leave with our heads still on unlike some. 

On our bus tour of London we went via the oldest toy store in Europe, it was opened in 1760 it has six floors all for toys... How much fun!
