United Kingdom: The Royal Wedding, British countryside etc.

Yes! My adventures start in the UK during The Royal Wedding. Funnily enough, the weather that day was really nice, unusual for England? Kate Middleton looking hot! We also looked at the British countryside and popped into Wales. The scenery is splendid. Hikes in the depths of Wales are a certain must!
Here are some photos ~


A tad blurry, sorry. However the wedding itself was truly amazing!


















This snap was taken half-way between London and Wales. It sort of reminds me of New-Zealand, although they don't have cow but millions of sheep.











Good ol' British fish and chips!














The fantastic Welsh B&B, shame we had to camp instead! 

Italy

A friend of a friend let us stay in her villa while we were it Tuscany. My two most favorite things about Italy was the scenery and the food. The scenery was breathtaking. The food? Well I'm sure many fellow travelers will have experienced proper Italian cuisine.
Here are some photos:


A view of the countryside from behind out villa. The town is called Florence.













Delish! And it only cost six euros.













This is how we kept fit during our stay! It's even better swimming in the evening. Tony even went for a midnight swim, but said it was way too cold!

France

We start our adventure by touring France. I never really knew it, but I must say, that France is an incredibly beautiful country. Especially in the Summer.
Here are some photos!
We went cycling in Normandy.
The scenery is like a cross between British and Italian scenery. Fantastic place to stop and eat some French grub!










The view of a little village we stopped at near Ruon. There was a butcher's shop there that sold chili chocolate sausages!













Sid took this one, the view from the first level of the Eiffel Tower
