Just found this on icanhascheezburger… This was me last week:

Home Again
Actually we’ve been home for several days now, but what with jetlag and lack of sleep and my life jumping back at me like a dog that hasn’t seen me in a month, I’ve not sat down to blog the last bits of the trip. I don’t think I’m going to do it now either […]
In Other News - We’re Heading Home
Summary: In one week - Betina, Zadar, Ancona (sleep), Venice (2 sleeps, so hot and humid), Montreux, Luzern (sleep), Locarno, Zermatt (sleep), St Moritz (tonight)….
Tomorrow we start back towards Rome. We’ve decided that we’re too tired of single-day stops with uncertain accomodation to do it in Florence too, so we’ll be leaving Florence for another […]
The Rule of Trees
A rule of photography whereby whenever a photographer on a train decides to photograph something, by the time they have picked up, turned on, and/or aimed their camera, some trees or other obstables will have appeared between them and their intended subject.
This appears to be a universal natural law. More investigation is needed, although plenty […]
Internet In Venice Is Expensive
…which is why I fell off the Internets for a few days. At the campsite we were staying in (the one Ross worked at, for any Curtin CS ppl reading this), it was 3 euros for half an hour! That’s one euro every 10 minutes! And in Venice itself it was even worse.
In other news, […]
Mmm, Sailing…
Alas, sailing is over. We’re now back in Ancona, with Competent Crew signed off in our new log books, and, in my case, the most magnificent panda-eyes tan ever, two new books, and some nifty reef shoes (which you need here for the sea-urchins), and of course, a pile of new knowledge. I’ve learned heaps. […]
Centrelink: You Suck.
So, today, due to unfavourable weather for the destination we were originally headed for, we ended up back in Zadar. Our original destination would have had: two restaurants, and some little shops. Probably no internet cafe. Zadar, on the other hand, has internet cafes. “Hooray!”, I thought, “I can log on and do my Centrelink […]
Misc Stories
A few stories:
We nearly missed our train to Rome this morning. Lesson: look for the train number, not the destination. But then our train got to Rome mysteriously 2 hours before we thought it would. I think this was related to point 1 - it went through to Milan, and the “arrival” time we had was […]
Naples - Summary
I’m about to go to sleep, after a long day walking around Pompeii, and I think the people whose room this computer is in want to go to sleep too, so I’ll have to summarise.
Day 1
Naples appears chaotic, messy and a bit seedy, especially after the peaceful small island we’ve come from
We’re pretty tired after […]
Stromboli - A story about water & free stuff
In my other post about Stromboli I forgot to tell an entertaining story. In Rome, as I think I mentioned, there are heaps of random water fountains that just run all the time.They were very helpful for refilling our water-bottles. Rome seems to have no shortage of water.
Then went to Stomboli, where, it turns out, […]
