Ok, so that end's our trip to Europe. Here are some points in summary that I need to mention before we move on.

1. Gelati in Italy is really good. But for those back in Adelaide who just can't pop over to Italy to get one, don't fret, because Gelato Bello on Glynburn Road make it as good as any you can find in Italy (and believe me, I sampled a lot!)

2. Being able to take your dog everywhere is pretty cool.

3. The whole driving on the right thing is pretty hard to get used to as a pedestrian. Karen very nearly got killed in Rome when she stepped in front of a car because she was looking the wrong way.

4. This is pretty well known, but Europe can be amazingly expensive, especially in the tourist areas.

5. We in Australia really should get our acts together language wise, it is rare to come across a European with any kind of education that hasn't at least got a good grasp of two languages.
