Man I'm getting slack at this! Not much time get to internet cafes but I'm in the greek islands at the moment on an island called Corfu. Beautiful clear water here but no sand! Only pebble beaches but it's still great. It's nice o have some relaxing time cos i's been pretty non stop sight seeing for the las few weeks.
Since my last post, we've been to lot more places, the first of which was Barcelona in spain. When we firsr arrived there,

we checked out the gothic district which had some pretty crazy churches and buildings. Most of the have been designed by Gaudi and are pretty ou there to say the least. His apartment building is pretty famous and also the Sagrada Familia, which is still under construction and is due to be completed by 2025ish.
From barcelona, we headed to Nice which is a town on the french riviera, the coastline of France that meets the Mediterranian.

This place had great bright aqua water and was very warm! We chilled on the beach for most of it and then had a rollerblade down the esplanade to explore the town.
One thing that is really killing me is all the differen languages we have to speak! I love learning them but I just get the hang of it and we're off to a different country with yet another lanuage!!
Good times trying to use the few phrases I know though :)
That night we headed into Monacco, the smallest country in the world which is only about 2kms sqd. There is a massie habour there with some even bigger boats! A lot of Ferraris and Masseratis. Most of the place is casinos so we had a gamble on the roulettte table and won some cash. Very handy so I bought a new car as you can see in the photo. So much money in this town..
From here, we headed to Pisa to see the leaning tower. I tried to push it back up
but couldn't quite get there. No gym for a while must be taking it's toll!
The next day we travelled to Rome and checked out the Vatican city. There was a 3 hour line to get in so we took a guided tour and went straight to the front. The tour was great and went through the museum, the sistine chapel wih Michaelangello's paintings on the roof and the Brasillica, where they say they keep relics like a piece of wood from the actual cross Jesus was crucified on. Pretty crazy stuff and some great artwork and statues.
We also checked out Colloseum which was crazy. We went inside and checked it out and the guys in there told us that the fighting days were very similar to the movie Gladiator.
Well thats it from me at the moment but I'll do another post soon to bring you all up to date. Only a fews days behind in my blog but the beach is caling my name! :)
