Ciao from Firenze

Seeing as tonight is my last night in Italy I thought it was time I make an effort and make contact. Italy has been fantastic! It's definitely a country I will have to come back to - so many places, so little time.

Jeanette!

Oh I KNEW you would love Rome. Your tales make me miss it! Did you get to go out along the Appian to see the catacombs? Did you get to go shopping in Florence? I need to go back and buy more leather! And the Ponte Vecchio - wow all that gold!!

Did you venture anywhere else in Tuscany? I found out a couple of weeks ago that Uncle John and Aunty Ang are moving back to Italy. Though they way to move back to Tuscany, they get free accommodation in Ischia (where Pino's family are from and Caroline and the girls were living). I think this means Europe is back on the agenda for me in about a year's time. I was going to forget Italy until I move to the UK, but I cannot pass this up!

Anyway, yes there has been some serious news while you've been away. My grandmother was evacuated from her home in Maitland! And check out what washed up on the shore of Nobby's beach in Newcastle:

Ah we have a funny story about the Apppian Way. Caught the ArcheoBus (hop on hop off bus) there and we were stranded at the San Callisto Catacombs because it was the day George Bush was in Rome so the tour buses decided to stop running! We did get to re-use our ticket the next day and it was a lovely drive around the Appian Way up to Claudius' Aquaducts (I know you appreciate them :).

Haven't done any shopping yet. Bought some glass jewellery in Florence but that is about all the shopping so far. I am trying to be very very good while I am still in my early stages of travelling.

And OMG - I can't beieve that washed up on Newcastle!
