SAILING ALONG ! ! !

















Roger and Tom at the Trevi Fountain. Throwing some of Tom's unwanted coins in the water!!



















Tom and Glenda - photo definitely not taken in Rome - weather too warm for these outfits!!


















A very small part of the Vatican!

Sorry for the 'sounds of silence'!! As you can imagine, we have been very preoccupied with Glenda and Tom. They went back to Australia last Tuesday and Roger and I have been madly preparing for our Australia Day celebrations this coming Saturday. Baking, shopping, typing, selling tickets, emailing, making phone calls, etc..... It's shaping up to be a wonderful afternoon of eating, dancing, meeting new people, singing and drinking (soft drink of course).

We had a wonderful 12 days away with Glenda and Tom in Rome and then Berlin. We left home for Rome on 5 January flying EasyJet. We got some great deals. We managed to get a great apartment that was lovely and big and didn't break the bank. It was about 4 km's from the city and we were able to travel each day by bus. Saw some great sights and did some shopping. Will share some photo's soon. I have posted some on Facebook, so if you're my friend you can see some there!

We travelled to Berlin from Rome on 12 January. Glenda found us a great apartment near Checkpoint Charlie and on the 19th Floor. Great views. We raced around seeing everything we possibly could and it was amazing. We all really loved Berlin. Then we came home on 17 January with lots to do.
