Greetings from Rome
We arrived in Rome today, meaning the Dubai leg of our trip is over (on our last day we went to Jumeriah Beach and the Mall of the Emirates and saw the 7 star hotel).
Our first day in Rome has been great, the weather was sunny, 16 degrees but got a bit cooler this evening. We went inside the Colosseo, Palatino, the Pantheon and saw the Fontana di Trevi. We ate our first pizza, (pepperoni) and it was beautiful. We have also never seen so many scooters in our lives.
The internet place we are at doesn’t let us upload photos so we’ll do it another time.
Thanks for your comment mum, I’m glad to see you have mastered it! Am still missing you guys and thinking of you heaps.

We eagerly await your blog. It seems incredible that we know what you are doing so quickly. Today is my last day of Qut for quite a while. Deb and I are preparing for Perth. Only 4 days to go. The house has not sold yet. Ryan has taken a few more steps, and loves Michael. Megs and Michael are good, nothing new with them.

Sorry, I may as well write all the comments together.
Mrs Cossart - pepperoni pizza, i know you wouldn’t think it, but the pepperoni was not spicy at all and it is still the best pizza we have had.
Mum - I hope the flight goes well and Deb likes Perth. Ryan will be running by the time I see him next!
Naomi - As you can see from the blog, the desert safari was the highlight of Dubai and i think it is a must. I will email you (and Emily) more details when I can.
