The rubbishist "travel blog" in the world.

As previously mentioned, we have a very low readership of only our close friends and a few people we have bribed into reading the blog along our travels. However, two of this limited readership have made a complaint regarding the blog, and as the numbers were talking about are so small two is actually a very large percentage. As such, we feel the need to deal with these complaints head on - we know, we think our customer service is excellent too.

The complaint is that this blog is supposed to be a travel blog and as yet we have mentioned very little about the places we have visited; surely the whole point of a travel blog, non? Non! In actual fact, if we talked about the places we visited we have a feeling our readership would be even less than it is today... a scarily real possibility.

This is because we are only travelling around Europe; Christopher Columbus we are not. Another reason is if we did give in to peer pressure and describe the places we have been they would ALL go as follows:

"Got up early in [insert European destination here] after long train journey and subsequent night out. The weather is beautiful unlike in England, ha. We went to a gallery, which was interesting although expensive to get in. We went to a museum, which was interesting although expensive to get in. We ate some lunch consisting of crisps, bread and cheese... eat your heart out Gordon, and possibly accompany it with Nutella, another favourite cuisine of ours.

We went to a Jewish quarter which was "super Jewy" (some American Jews that we’ve met taught us this term…), interesting and not expensive at all. We quite possibly stumbled upon a Jewish ghetto, which was interesting but depressing. We went to a cathedral, which was interesting (although these appear to be getting less and less interesting as our travels continue).

We inevitably ended our day in the Old Town which was quaint and picturesque. We went to the castle in the Old Town which was quaint and picturesque. We ate a tea consisting of pasta. We went for a night out, to refuel ourselves for the next day."

We are currently in Florence, and if you are interested in what Florence is like just insert Florence as the European destination above (although, probably best if you replace the super Jewy bits with more Cathedrals; although I regret to admit to “super Christiany” hardly has the same ring).
