We are currently in Cortona in tuscany, having a few days of doing not very much. We are ok, except Jess has a slight cough. We will be moving on to Siena tomorrow. Wi-fi is sporadic, so better post now.

Hello from Bamberg
This looks a little like it will be a journal entry.
After taking the train this morning from Berlin we arrived in Bamberg at about 4pm. After walking to the hotel and dropping off our bags, we went on a walk around the city. Bamberg on first impressions is amazing; we walked around the old city streets, and up the sides of the valley surrounding the city, before heading back to the center to a 480 year old brewery/restaurant for a beer and schnitzel. we serendipitously ate with a group of lovely americans from south carolina. on their recommendation we went on to a another brewery nearby to try a rauchbier (smoked beer), where we shared a table with Albrecht and Horst.

We said we wouldn't but here i am
We said we wouldn't have time to post while were away, but here we are...
in transit in Kuala Lumpur, for four hours... with free internet. We walked through the Jungle Boardwalk two or three times, and around and around the terminal until we got so disorientated we decided we should probably just sit down until boarding time. Jess is now asleep on a chair and I am on watch, wondering whether to have a laksa or not. ?
Jenny: any word from the parents? I tried to call them many times before leaving with no answer.

NZ Dollar wobbles
With our upcoming trip to chermany/italy I can't help but keep an eye on the rollercoaster that is the NZ dollar.
It looks like it is on the way up again! ?
Thanks to findata.

...and of course, you shouldn't forget the Blue Gingerbread Man!
