European Adventure

Wow, we haven’t really been writing lately! Sorry about that. What have we been doing since Barcelona? Well, Nice came after that, and was a little smaller (a relief) but absolutely beautiful–especially the promenade along the shore with a stone beach. We also stopped in Monaco as a trip, and saw the casino and all the fancy cars out front. Amazing!

From there was Florence. We had a little trouble with our hotel there, but ended up in a better place, so it worked out. We saw the duomo, David… and pretty much everything else to see! Gorgeous, romantic, and pretty clean too. We were there for about a day and a half, and then on to Rome!

Rome was…crazy. So far it was the most crowded with tourists. It also involved the most walking in the shortest amount of time that I think any two people have ever walked (only there for a day and a half again). Does not result in happy feet, btw. We saw all that we had time (and energy) to see, but we definitely could have used more time to see even more. We got guided tours for the colosseum and the Vatican, which was pretty expensive, but worth it we thought. We also met some pretty cool people in our hostel, and it’s always good to have a good hostel experience .

Now we’re in Venice, and it’s so amazing. You think you kind of know what to expect, but with all the canals going through the entire city it’s different than any other place we’ve been so far. Also cleaner then i thought it would be, but WAY more shopping and souvenir places than probably all the other cities too. Pretty much all the things to see here are churches, which we’ve seen by now, and the rest of the experience of Venice comes with walking around and shopping! And getting a gondola ride of course, which is fantastic (and so romantic ). Now we’re just going to hang out until our night train to Munich…and then off to Greece!!
