Well..

Quick update with travelling news - we've worked out our route:

Plane from London Stansted - Prague
Church of Bones in town near Kutna Hora, Czech Rep.
Prague - Krakow (Poland)
Auschwitz
Krakow - Budapest (Hungary)
Budapest - Bucharest (maybe stop off along the way) (Romania)
Bucharest - Plovdiv (Bulgaria)
Possibly Sofia, maybe not
Plovdiv/Sofia - Thessaloniki (Greece)
Thessaloniki - Athens
Athens - Sarande
Sarande - Brindisi (Italia)
Brindisi - Rome
Rome - Florence
Florence - Verona
Verona Opera
Verona - Venice
Venice - Klagenfurt (Austria)
Klagenfurt - Lucerne/Geneva (Switzerland)
L/G - Imperia (Italy)
Whale watching in Imperia
Imperia - France

Then France for 2 or so weeks, up to Gay Paris then Homeward Bound.

Exhausting.

But we're big strong girlies and I'm sure we'll cope.
Still looking for unusual/off the beaten track places to go, so if anyone DOES read this, then give us a shout. Only have so much patience scouring random internet pages for ideas.
Ciao

First and foremost..

Woo! We're going travelling and this is our first ever blog thing - so exciting.
The plan:
Travelling Europe for 2 months
The aims:
To spend a lot of money in a short space of time, visiting famous places and getting very tired in the process.
The purpose of this blog:
To write everything down so we don't forget it as we plan it (Oh and I'm writing a book when we come back so I have to remember every detail of the planning stage..) and to reeeach out to other intrepid ones who may or may not be reading this. Probably just talking to ourselves but it makes us happy.
And yes, there are two of us, I'm not a little bit crazy. Two twenty-somethings on the verge of doing something very exciting. Involving travelling.
So there you go, our first post. Maybe not the most scintillating you've ever read, but hey ho.
Wheeeeee!
