Europe Trip - Florence, Pisa & Monaco

Hi Lovelies, TGIF huh? Not a bad Friday so far, free carrot cake at work then after work drinks!

 

Today I have more holiday snaps for you of Florence, Italy, Pisa and Monaco. Florence was nice, not as busy as Rome and Venice, we chilled out, looked around, shopped, ate and of course got some Gelato. Pisa we only stopped to look at the leaning tower, thats pretty much all thats there haha. Then Monaco we didnt stop for long either, we had some time to look around, take some snaps, see some sites and.......have some Gelato!

 

I might break my pictures up a bit with an outfit picture in between so ya'll dont get too bored. Stick around!

Europe Trip - Rome

Hullo, more trip pics today of course! Today we do Roma! Rome was a very interesting city to say the least....it was hot, crowded, there are lots of homeless people and people trying to sell you stuff, the traffic is insane and there are ancient ruins everywhere, its crazy! Definately different to New Zealand haha.

 

Here are some highlights:

Europe Trip - Amsterdam, Germany & Switzerland

Hello lovelies, more photo highlights from my overseas trip today! Today I bring you Amsterdam, in Amsterdam we had a walking tour of the red light district - "interesting" lol, saw lots of bikes (they have right of way everywhere!), went on a cruise along the canals and walked around the shops and had dinner.  Germany was next where we stopped at a small town called Boppard then cruised on the Rhine river before heading to our hotel. We headed to Switzerland the next day, Lucerne, where we shopped, ate, explored and also went for a cruise across the lake before taking a train and gondola up the mountain!
