VIVA ITALIA!!

Okay so it's better late than never hey! Here's some snapshots of our trip to Italy back in May of this year. I love this place! How lucky are Logan and I to have been able to spend our 1st wedding anniversary in one of the most romantic cities in the world, Venice. On our actual anniversary we enjoyed dinner in a lovely little cafe right on the canal under the Rialto Bridge. It was magical.

So enough blurb from me. Here are the happy snaps:

What the Italians do best :-)



VENICE

The Rialto Bridge






Wonderful St Mark's Square




The Bridge of Sighs (behind my head). Apparently the famous Cassanova was jailed here, temporarily, until he eventually escaped.




13th May 2007. Happy 1st Wedding Anniversary to us!






FLORENCE













The Statue of David. The one in this shot is the replica, the real one is in a museum not far from this site. We did go and see it however we weren't allowed to take photos of it, so this is as good as it gets. Even the replica is impressively old.




ROME














What a view hey!




St Peter's Basillica (Vatican City). I rubbed ole St Pete's foot, or what remains of it anyway, for good luck. The Pope was home the day we were there, however no sightings unfortunately.













The Trevi Fountain




A word of warning.....there's 100's more photos where these came from so get ready for the 6 hour slide night when we get home :-)

Until next time xx

MOROCCO

Hello all I'm finally back in the swing of things with our blog. As most of you know just after I got back to the UK Loges whisked me off to Morocco for a week. What an amazing place! So different to our culture and so much to look at all at the one time. We stayed in a riad , which is a traditional Moroccan building, which was amazing. Here's their website if you want to have a gander www.riadassala.com. To give you a little taste of our holiday below are some happy snaps for you to look at....take special notice of the photo with the guys sitting on the ground. If you look closely you'll see why their professional title is 'Snake Charmer'.
