What is real olive oil?

Thursday 25th March 2010

Sorry - wine tasting in Tuscany in a 12th century castle and lunch with olive oil cannot be conveyed accurately in pictures, but I'll try.



...more wine...

Paris - 19th March 2010

Paris, 19th March 2010


A brisk walk around "Les Invalides" after my eight hour flight (lots of nap time there).


Followed by some coffee and then the Rodin Museum.


Not daunted by the art overload, next was the Pompidou Centre...  The largest modern art centre in Europe (for what it's worth) and full of some really odd things.


Tomorrow off to Florence, Italy for a week of fun (and coffee).

Sunday 21st February 2010 - Rome and St Peter's Square

It wasn't built in a day, but you can walk around it in one.

The National Museum in Rome.
Very interesting series of exhibits (lots of stairs too).
