That’s right, I’m going to be in Italy for Easter! And actually in Rome for Easter Sunday and Monday. On the one hand I’ll get the chance to see what it’s like in the Vatican City during an important religious holiday, and may even get to hear the Pope speak. On the other hand they probably won’t be doing the tours through the city so I can see the art work and hear about the history. Ah well, I’ll just have to go back fort that another time!

For the full itinerary you can see it here.

Beyond the tour… i don’t know.

I’ll manage to fill in the next few years somehow :-)

Hi, if you get the chance, when you're in England, go to Stratford and do the Shakespere thing. London is good, but full of Tourists :-) The cabinet war rooms is a good thing to see too. Dont go to Hull - its a dump (thatswhere im from!) You'll have a great time in Barcelona (Las Ramblas is good for bars!) Graz is good in Austria too. Have a great time!!
