The Pilgrimage to Italy began on the 5th October, 2008 with 31 Sydneyites , 2 Melbournians, and 2 Canadians. We arrived in Milan airport and boarded the coach, heading off to the first port of call, Turin. TURIN is the home of the famous Shroud of Turin, the burial cloth of Christ. It bears the image of a crucified man who is believed to be Jesus of Nazareth. Modern science has completed hundreds of thousands of hours of detailed and intense research on the Shroud. It is, in fact, the single most studied artifact in human history, and we know more about it today than ever before. |

As we always say when we return from an overseas trip, “there is no place like home!”
But if we could take all our household appliances with us, we would definitely want to stay on holidays longer! I think the most frustrating part of travelling is having to take all your clothes and things you need with you! Otherwise I would be quite happy being in Italy for much longer. We hardly had enough time to take in any of the sights we saw as we travelled before we had to move on to some other place. The places we went were much prettier than their postcards and the experience of being there makes it all so difficult to comprehend why so many Italians have left their homeland to become market gardeners and fruit shop proprietors in suburban Sydney and Melbourne. |
