Florence

Howdy...
im in Florence at the moment. I just arrived about an hour ago and we went out for a walk to get our bearings. Not many shops are open because its Boxing Day here. We were on a train from Rome to here for about 3.5 hours. Not too much but enough to get bored.

Rome turned out to be great. We went back to the Trevi Fountain about 400 times (acutally only about 5) and to other places a lot. Our hotel was in the centre of everything so it was great. Not to far to walk to anything at all.

Sarah if you are going to be reading this...did you know im going to be going to Milan? Shopping...IM not going to enjoy it but i know you would. All this stuff ive seen has been in Eurotrip. There are a few things ive noted about Eurotrip that i didnt like. Most of the stuff in the Vatican wasnt even there. The confessionals werent the same. Also when Jamie is leading the group there isnt anything like those stairs. Maybe thats because its in the Vatican Museum. I saw the curtains going into that window where the Pope stands (or Scotty) thats real. But the curtains arent always there. I dont know what to beleive about Eurotrip anymore. :-(

I dont know what sort of things we are going to do in Florence but im sure they will be good. Because this is a computer in our hotel ill be able to go on more often. Ill try and go on late tomorrow night so anyone who can get online early in the morning on the 28th please try. Ill try and talk to you then. Ill be on hopefully at around 10-11pm which is 8-9am Australian Time. If you try and catch me but im not online...Im sorry. Im probably really tired and sleeping or im not allowed by this hotel to be online then.

Happy Holidays!

Oh by the way..Nana is averaging one disk of 180 photos a day. Not bad. So far we have made only one disk and we have been here for a week i think. We put a blank card in the camera though and its almost full. So i think we will get about 2 days worth on a disk. Lots and lots of Photos!

You're using EUROTRIP as your main reference guide to a place that has several millenia's worth of history and culture???!!!
It's a movie!!!
A T&A movie!!!
It's a sometimes pretty funny T&A movie, BUT IT'S STILL JUST A MOVIE!!!

As a SOSE teacher I'm now obliged to go and drown myself...

I dont care that Eurotrip is just a movie. It relates to back in Australia with all you guys. For that im happy.

Um Pat...answers to your questions.
..NO i didnt see the pope.
..YES i was there in Rome at christmas but not at the Vatican
..No its not snowing but it was nice weather until Christmas when it started to rain. It has barely stopped since. Sometimes its really light rain but still...
XMAS in Italy is just like everywhere else just less decorations and you say "Bon Natale" instead of Merry Christmas. WEll thats because it means Merry Christmas.snowing but it was nice weather until Christmas when it started to rain. It has barely stopped since. Sometimes its really light rain but still...

Im having heaps of fun but today I was really really tired. Ive lost some weight but put it back as muscle and had hardly any coke...doesnt taste the same. Sprite tastes the same so im drinking a lot of that instead.

Any other questions anyone?

Oh yeah...tomorrow we are going to see Davids Donger as my little sis Em keeps telling us. :P

Next we are going to Venice :)

As i find out where we are going ill put comments or posts up about it like this one.

Im finally figuring out what we are going to be doing each day.

Lauz said...

Ok...about that weird comment i wrote. these keyboards are weird and i pressed the insert key. that meant that when i went back to change something it all disappeared. I copied and pasted and thats the result...

you can try and make sense of it or you could just read it as is. your choice
