Italia!
Yes, yes, yes, we've all established that I'm a lucky bastard. I'm lucky because I've finished school, quit my part-time job making less than $10 an hour, and then spent six to eight thousand dollars to travel about seven weeks all over Western Europe. Yes, very very lucky. Not that I don't appreciate your consent on this, but let's see what else you guys can notice. Meantime, here's what you guys asked about last time:
- Re: Jessie: My brother was still in the room we were hanging in the night before after we got back from the beerhall. When I woke up and he wasn't in the room, I stomped back down to that other room; as I got there, he was coming out. I worried less after that.
- Re: self-washing toilets: The German rest stops were like, ultra high-tech. I didn't see it myself, but I heard them . . . essentially, after you flushed the toilet a water jet would spray across the seat top. I heard it was quite amazing.
- Re: Tom Cross: "Tom Cross is gay" was graffiti in the stairwell going up into the dome of St. Peter's Cathedral in Munich. I took a picture and will show it once it's photobucketed.
- Re: Alcohol: Contiki is basically a company specialising in travelling tours for young people, aged 18-35. That said, it involves a lot of drinking nights . . . like, a LOT . . .
- Re: Midgar Guy: I'unno, London's got mixed ethnicity but it's not THAT mixed. But that's me and my Vancouver mindset . . .
- Re: How drunk I was in St. Goar: not nearly as drunk that night as I was in Munich . . . actually, I was more drunk in Austria . . .
- Re: driving people home: perks of a coach tour: no one's drivin' no one nowhere!
- Re: Seeing Germany: Technically, Munchen and St. Goar which is a little town famous for beersteins and cuckoo clocks. Drove through the rest of the country, though.
So now we're off from Germany into Italy . . . also known as "pickpocket-land", according to the tour manager. So remember, any points perk your interest, tell me and I'll elaborate.
Munich -> Venice (May 21):
- Venice has no grass/trees!!!
- Glass-blowing = neat.
- Getting lost/caught w/ shoppers . . . less neat.
- Gypsy-talk . . . now we wanna fight 'em . . . (Don't see squat!)
- Pigeons = ew.
- We had a kick-ass gondola driver (driver?).
- Hooray for bank machine!
- Less drinking = actual sleep!
Venice -> Rome (May 22):
- Lotta gypsies, eh? (crack knuckes . . .)
- Skateboard-boy . . . nice.
- Rome is . . . . . very dirty . . .
- Getting very hot . . . . . damn . . . . .
- Roman water fountains are glorious things . . .
- Roman mosquitoes love my blood.
- I wish I remembered more Latin . . .
- Yeah, this day was a blur . . .
Rome (May 23):
- Mm . . . crusty bread again . . . . . well, I like it!
- Swiss guards have swords!!!
- Long wait for the Pope . . . but it was neat.
- "Gypsy!!!" "Gimme your tears, gypsy..."
- Sistine Chapel - badass.
- "Follow tha guiiide . . . Contikiiii . . ."
- Colosseum - badass. SO badass!
- Italian cosplay!!!
- Our hotel sucked, though . . .
- It's HOT!!!
