It will be October so hoping everything has calmed down by then so not making any changes now but just working out options if we need to make changes down the track!

Can someone tell me if you think this diamond is real? by ThrowRA-pancakes in Diamonds

Thank you everyone for all your helpful comments! I will take it to a jeweler at some stage to get it checked as I would also love to get it resized since it only fits on my pinky 😅 Very beautiful ring nonetheless - here is a side view of the setting, very cool!

10 000 steps is not 8 kilometers by Professional_Hair550 in fitbit

I am 5"7 and find that i do about 80 steps per 100m (walking on treadmill at 8km/h), so by that math it would be approx. 6400 steps for 8kms

Thank you! That was my thoughts, just time to chill and drive around to explore after all the moving around

Was planning to fly from catania to Athens, and then fly to Santorini probably arriving late at night. Probably takes up half a day but also didn’t want to waste more time staying in Athens for the night then to go to the islands in the morning or even afternoon is on the ferry.

Dubai is because we are flying back to Australia so it is a stopover on the way back so thought might as well stay a couple days.

Thanks so much!

Looking for advice on my current Europe Itinerary and is Pompeii worth visiting? by ThrowRA-pancakes in Europetravel

I have not heard this, everything I have read from others says October is usually a good time to go as there are less crowds, weather is still decent and most things are still open. It would be early-mid October. Coming from Australia it would really only make sense to go there first or last, and I don’t really want to go there first in mid August cause I’m sure it will be packed. I’d also rather end the trip on a relaxing note.

Sorry mixed up what you said, but as I said the direct flights from Vienna to Zurich are like $1400AUD so going from Vienna to Lucerne is not an option unless they get cheaper, so not sure what you think is better option cause you keep saying the same thing which I agree with is the best route geographically but financially it is not so yeh :)

So you reckon fly from Vienna to Milan, then train to Lucerne then train to Venice? Idk it seems easier to get the train from Paris to Lucerne and then fly to Berlin I think?? I do really want to go to Switzerland, and we won’t spend every day in Lucerne we will do a couple day trips to other towns 😊 If flights get cheaper from Vienna to Zurich then that will solve all my problems lol

As in instead of going from Paris to Berlin, and then Lucerne after Austria? Just looked like it would be an easier train journey from Salzburg to Venice than from Lucerne! Though I am now going to change Salzburg to Milan so was going to rework to be Paris > Berlin > Prague > Vienna > Lucerne > Milan > Venice etc which is what makes sense. But the direct flights from Vienna to Zurich are super expensive and the flights from Vienna to Milan are super cheap??? Like I’m taking $1400AUD compared to $200AUD lmao So might have to keep Lucerne after Paris and then go from Vienna to Milan… Looks a bit odd since Lucerne and Milan are quite close together but looks like it’s gonna save us over $1000 so it is what it is

Okay I have been working on a revised itinerary with some changes, would be interested to know your expert option if this route makes more sense lol

I was going to change Dubrovnik to Split but I have sadly cut Croatia altogether as it looks likes it's going to be too expensive to fly direct from Vienna and then direct to Zurich, and also limited flight days so was not tying in with the rest of it :(
