i know it has been awhile but i have been super lazy. i am currently in florence and have been here for about 4 days i think but to tell you the truth only one has been spent sightseeing on account of once again me being lazy and just wanting to chill out. have met heaps of cool people in my hostel and obtained some words of wisdom from a couple. i have pretty much just been walking aaround florence which has been the extent of my sightseeing but i did go up to the top of the duomo to get an awesome view of the city and out to the rolling hills beyond and i have to say italy has some wicked landscapes. i am not entirely sure of what i am writing at the moment as i had a huge extremely random night last night and couldn't be bothered typing but in short it ended with us helping this australian guy out at 4 am in the morning because some transexual guy who works in the hostel 3 doors down had attempted to molest him in return for a bed. i will tell you later about that but i leave florence tomorrow to head back to switzerland to this little town rivera for a couple of days. greece didn't workout this time but there is always next time and besides i only have about 3 weeks left and i still haven't done eastern and northern europe. couldn't be bothered anymore so i am going to nap on the bench. oh yeah i passed my semester at uni and got 1 credit and 3 distinctions so i am pretty stoked with that.
