Yesterday we made it to Rome. It is sweltering here. We are staying in a "camping village" but our place is air conditioned which is quite nice. To get here we had to take the metro and the worst, most packed bus ever. We about died when we finally arrived at our bungalow (their word not mine hah) Once we got situated we threw on our suits and headed straight to the pool. It was such a relief to jump in and be able to lay out by the pool. After about 2 hours we h...

Well, tonight was our last night in Florence. Nothing really exciting happened here except for the mass amounts of leather goods I bought. Yay! The markets here are hard to pull yourself away from. Last night, we went to a couple of bars and got to see the Duomo at night which was pretty cool. For lunch today, we ate some really good pizza. We got a pineapple gorgonzola pizza and it was fabulous. Our hostel here has an indoor pool and steam room which we took a...

Yesterday was our last day in Venice unfortunately. We started the day out by heading to the beach to get some sun. Once again another beautiful day. We have been so lucky with the weather this trip. We were at the beach for a little under 2 hours before we left to get some lunch. We went to this little restaurant where they had these swinging benches for seats. It was pretty cute and the food was of course delicious. We hopped on the water bus again and headed ...

Today was an awesome day. Venice is probably the most beautiful place I have ever been. I love it here. There is no other place like it. We left our first hotel here this morning around 10 and headed to the apartment we have for 2 nights. The apartment is so cute! We did some exploring and found some markets to buy some things to cook dinner with later. We also did some souvenir shopping where I bought entirely too much :) The day was beautiful and I think we go...

Today takes the cake for most uncomfortable train rides of my life. We left Paris this morning around 7:30. We got on our train that we didn't have seats for. How they can sell you tickets and not have anywhere for you to go is beyond me. I have never felt more like a stowaway. We hung out in the dining car for a bit and then tried to look for an open seat somewhere because standing for 7 hours wasn't going to cut it. We were not the only ones who had nowhere to ...
