Greece Part 1

From Rome to Athens...Not sure what all these places are called (think one is the Acropolis) but here are some shots from Athens...And of course some yummy food...From Athens they caught the ferry over to the party island of Ios...and boy did they party...
Nicole has been a long time reader of a guy named Matt's popular travel blog and she got to meet him and have a few drinks, he is the one in green...When not partying, Nicole soaked up the Greece sun...Had a look around the island...Enjoyed the food...Watched the sunrise after an allnighter...And sunset...

Italy Part 4

Nicole and Ant caught the train for a 9 hour journey from Naples to Catania in Sicily. They had planned to stay in the area for a few weeks but didn't feel comfortable and wasn't a lot to see. They did a tour to Mt Etna and went underground to a lava cave...

Visited Syracuse with an ancient outdoor entertainment centre... Did some cooking...And enjoyed more Italian Food and Vino...Not yet ready to part from Italy they decided to catch the train back to Rome for another week. They spent more time "chillin" and revisiting some favourite sights...
Back to The Spanish Steps...Trevi Fountain...St Peters...Ruins...Colosseum...It was also National Italy Day while they were there so they got to watch all the parades and celebrations...Then time to bid farewell to Italy.
