Matt and Kerry's 10 tips for eating out in Italy

By -
01. Find a nice little Italian Restaurant off the main street for optimum charm
02. Ask if they allow your dog inside (if travelling with your pet)- it does happen
03. Order Proichetto Pizza - very authentic Italian
04. Order spaghetti - of course
05. Cut pizza up, then use your hands to eat it like the Italians do...when in Rome!
06. Share a long piece of spaghetti, stop when you get to the middle for a kiss
07. Order the boys a nice bowl of spaghetti each and giggle as they try to be polite
08. Make sure children have napkin tucked in to avoid mess...lol
09. Tip the waiter generously ... smiles all around
10. Enjoy ... you are in Rome!!!


We chose to eat at 'Caffe e Pasticceria U. Guiliani Ricercatezze dal 1897'

What a week! This week we left our comfortable life in Australia and began a new, uncertain life in the UK. Since leaving the hot dry conditions of Oz we have seen snow, rain, sleet, hail and (believe it or not) sunshine, all in 1 week. The boys (and Kerry and I) thoroughly enjoyed seeing snow fall and had our very first snowball fight. Although there have been a great deal of ups, it hasn't been without its downs too.

So far we have had only one moment where the boys have become homesick, missing their cousins, grandparents and friends. No doubt this will happen regularly. They have assured us though, that they would not swap the experience for anything!! We will continue to post many updates, hopefully more than once a week. So

Today was one of those days in life that really threatened to bring me down! Matt and I set off with a group of hikers to head up Mt Warning today.  Having never done this track before we had no idea what really lay ahead.  The sign at the beginning warned that there were many steps and steep inclines .... but nothing could have prepared me mentally for what this really meant. The Wollumbin National Park, at Mt Warning, Summit track is NOT for the light hearted!  6 months ago there is NO WAY I could have made it up the 4.5km track (9km return) ... well, not in the 2:15 hours we did it in.  The track is listed as a 'difficult' climb, with many (many, many) steps, followed by a steep rock face (with a chain to assist the climb). By 2km I knew I had bitten off more than I really wanted to chew.... but refused to give in to the voices in my head.  I may have chewed poor Matt out for his attempts to support me mentally.  Definitely not in the right headspace for this today - bu
