D-d's Holiday Pictures. Part 1.
24 Jul 2010 09:08 pmDaughter-dear spent about ten days in Italy before she came home for six weeks of summer. Italy was her holiday time, as much of her time at home will be spent working in a local law firm.
She has wanted to visit Italy for a long time - she studied Classical Civilisation at A level, and Romans and Barbarians as part of her History degree - and decided this was her chance. As none of her friends were either available when she was, or could afford to go, she joined a group organised by Contiki and says she would recommend the experience to anyone within their age range (18-35).
As you make your own way to the start point, in her case Rome, a group can be made up of people from any number of different countries - she turned out to be the only European in a group of Americans, Canadians, Aussies, New Zealanders, South Africans and Philippinos - she said it enabled her to get some fascinating insights into other cultures as well as Italy!
Anyway - she says she is quite happy for me to show you all some of her pictures so here we go with a few pics of Rome - or ( you can't beat a good painted ceiling, or two, or three... )
I didn't actually expect her to come back with a picture of a naked, drunken Gimli!
