Time just passes by sooooo quickly in this trip. 9 days have just gone by. This probably is because Rome, Florence and Venice  (not Naples unfortunately) were just amazing. St Peter's and Sistine chappel were definate highlights for me personally. Even though hostel in Rome was not as good as I hoped it would be but the beauty of the city more than made of up for it. Venice was just purely awesome, especially the cruise on the water taxi. Much needed rest at Beaucaire just makes this tour even better, not to mention Pont du Gard. To simply put it, PURE AWESOME.

Spent a few nights in Beaucaire and it is simply awesome, but before that we spent some awesome days in Rome and then Florence.  Seeing all the amazing ancient stuff in Rome such as the Colosseum was brilliant and seeing all the cool art in places like the Vatican museum was brilliant.  From Rome we went to Florence which I thoroughly enjoyed, the food, the atmosphere, the buildings and the art were all absolutely spectacular. We have now stopped off in Beaucaire for a much needed rest after the madness of Rome and Italy as a hole, and have now had a nice refreshing swim by the Pont du Gard.

So far we have spent 2 days in Beacaire and I'm loving it so far, good food, clean rooms, showers that actually work and beautiful scenery are only some of the definite improvements from the Hostel in Rome. Today we saw the extremely well-preserved Roman ruins around the city of Nimes, such as the Pont Du Gard, a Roman aqueduct which we were lucky enough to swim under, the intact Roman temple known as the Maison Caree and the Amphitheatre of Nimes. These inspiring sights were a great step up from the boredom of the 'day of trains' which was yesterday.

Wow, Beaucaire is just amazing. Whether it is the sleeping in, the delicious meals or the amazing sites which after 2 weeks still can take your breath away, i feel like we are having a mini holiday with the trip. And this is all after Florence which i thought wouldn't be surpassed as one of the most stunning cities we will visit. The swim in the Pont Du Gard today was such a highlight, which was followed by yet another swim in the hotel pool... yeh life is good.
