Well we didn’t really want to leave anyway! We did the usual touristy bits during our first real break from starting our trip! Included in the tourist package was the extra 2 hour bus trip from Rome central at 1am to the wrong suburb of town – Not the suburb […]

Well, we made it to Rome a few days ago! Alas our route has taken us away from the larger towns and meant little opportunity to update the diary! Something we will correct shortly!!!! Just for the record – We just heard from the Guiness Book of records that what […]

After a 4 hour unexpected slog up a 617m HILL we arrived at Pisa in the early afternoon. Pudsey insisted on having his picture taken with the tower so we took him into town for the evening. Next day we headed for Siena on the SS67 – or what we […]

Having mentioned our trip to staff, we were greeted by the Manager Rowan who promptly gave us two Nando’s t-shirts for our travels. Thanks to Rowan and all staff at Nando’s Maidstone! Afterwards we had […]
