Appologies for the lack of pictures over the past few Blogs. I just tried to put some on, however, I got my last lot of photos burnt onto a DVD (instead of a CD) and this computer does not seem to be able to read it. I will try again later.

Dear Lis, Wow your time in Paris sounds amazing. I'm rather jealous of the nutella crepe, makes me hungry thinking about one - yum! Your emails/blogs are wonderful to read, I feel as though I'm there with you, obviously not, but you know what I mean. The museums sound awesome, I'd love to see the paintings that most of us can only read about in person. I'm at work tonight, it's not oo bad, I'm plodding along as usual. Alexander and I are really enjoying our pistol shooting. Unfortunately I am ye to beat his score of 72, but last night I did get 68, so I'm getting better. Plus it is only our second week. We've got 4 more weeks to go and in those weeks we start competing against each other. There is one guy in our class who's very good, he gets alot of attention from the intructers, who leave us "normal people" to our own thing, rather unfair I must say. Noni has been misbehaving whilst I was on night duty. One night my bedroom door was shut and Dad awoke to her bashing her head into it trying to get in and crying out! Silly cat. Today she wouldn't leave my side. She's a worry. Although not as much as Dora, as I'm sure you know about the "falling off the shed roof" incident!?!? I guess you start your job soon. Good luck with that. I'm sure they will all love you and figure out what a wonderful vet you are pretty quick! Take care and I look forward to reading more of your trip soon. Love, Olivia.x.
A blogsite to keep my friends and family informed on my whereabouts and what I'm up to on my overseas adventure! Your comments are welcome and appreciated, or email me at: lisajtowns@yahoo.com.au
Mami Camilla : The cooking school. Visit the website http://www.mamicamilla.com/ and book a cooking course and accommodation in Sorrento!
Trattoria Ragno-D'Oro (The Golden Spider), my favourite Roman restaurant. Visit it at : Via Silla, 26- Rome. It's a short walk from the Ottaviano metro station. Telephone: 063212362 (in Italy) for bookings. Say "Hi" to Fabio for me!
Galleria Dell'Academia. If you only see one piece of artwork while you're in Europe, make sure it's Michelangelo's David. It's housed here in Florence. Book ahead. You can book any of the Florence State Museums (including Academia and Uffizi) at http://www.weekendafirenze.com/ or phone: +39 055 294883 Edinburgh is my favourite city in all of Britain (that I've been to so far...) Ireland- hiring a car and driving around this beautiful green island has definitely been a highlight of my travels.
The Lake District, England Definitely my favourite part of England. Beautiful scenery, and so many things to see and do (especially when the weather is dry!).
Corsica. Up until my tour of Italy, I would have said that this was my favourite place in Europe. Make sure you visit Bonifacio and Santa Giulia (near Porto Vecchio)
Hotel Central, Bastia.This was one of the best hotels I stayed at. It's affordable, and it has really nice rooms. Really makes you feel like you're in France. http://www.centralhotel.fr/
Maastricht was my favourite city in The Netherlands, along with Amsterdam
Paris- so much to see and do, so little time...
The Original Sightseeing Bus Tour in London is a great way to see the sights of London, and learn about the history of the City.
