In four and a half hours I should be on an aeroplane bound for Auckland by 2pm Saturday I should be in Wellington and steeling myself to start work again on Monday.

*gulp*

Looking forward to being home very much though

So yesterday despite being kind of tired I walked out to the Spanish steps and then over to the Vatican to look round the museum, I saw a mere fraction of what they've got but I did manage to fit in the Sistine chapel and the Raphael rooms ( Read more... )
