Venice turned out to be a very interesting and awesome place to be. Some parts relaxing, some parts adventure and some parts partying. As has often been the case I originally booked just 2 nights here but stayed 4. When first arriving at the train station I was a little worried that I would struggle to find my hostel. Everyone kept saying how much of a maze Venice was and how you could so easily get lost or turned around and that maps are useless. Well I didn't ...

So despite there not really being a whole lot to do in Milan, I found myself there again. Not only that, but for some reason I ended up spending about 5 nights. I only came back here to do 2 things. One was see the Last Supper the other was to go up the roof of the cathedral. Why then did I end up staying for so many nights? I don't think I can actually remember now. I think I was just chilling, and updating my blog a bit too. I had only originally booked 2 nigh...

When I arrived in Florence my first order of business was to find some wifi so I could check my email to see if I had a host for the night.

This McDonald's was in a kind of food court and the only wifi connection was the name of a cafe which I couldn't even find in the f...

It was a Capuchin crypt which had a small museum about the history of the order. It was actually quite fascinating and I learned that it is from this order that we get the word cappuccino because the coffee is the same colour as their robes. And the crypt itself was really cool. The bones from something like ...

Finally decent internet at a hostel. Italy sucked for internet, so getting anything done was difficult and uploading my photos was basically impossible. But now I'm in Vienna and everything in the German speaking countries just seems to work the way they should. Now though I have to remember back about 3 weeks to when I got to Rome. I can't really remember exactly what time it was when I got to Rome, but my hostel was only a 10 minute walk from the train station...
