A selection of what we saw from last year's European tour. The bane of joining tours is that you don't have a lot of opportunities to explore.. so you tend to end up with one cliche photo after the next.. the good thing is you get really good company, everything's arranged and you might just save a buck or two if you were to go on your own... places we visited include Rome, Pisa, Florence, Burano Island, Venice, Vatican City (ok.. not stritly speaking Italy ..) and a few others in between...Nov 2005.
