Enter Venice, Verona & Milano

So we've been to Venice, that was awesome. Just such a different city. Canals and narrow streets, NO CARS\BUSES\VESPA'S.... alot of people but so peaceful. There is vertainly something to be said for being by the seaside. We stayed away from the busy tourist spots thought still and walked the back streets... Megan spent a small fortune on gifts for people back home (she leaves in two days). I had the most unreal seafood meals while in Venice.... boy do these people know how to cook!!

In fair Verona where we set our next scene..... (hmmm I think I may have heard something similar to that in the past!! Not too sure where though) Only spent one night, but went for a walk and saw the Arena (like the colleseum but in better state of repair) It's currently being used as the local opera house (open roof of course). And we stumbled upon this chick called Juliet's house, with some funny looking balcony..... yes Verona is the scene where Shakespeare set his tradgic love story of Romeo and Juliet - apparently after two local families that had been feuding for AGES!!!!

Now we are in Milan, it's not doing much for me actually - just another big city with expensive shops..... really keen to leave, think we might head down to Genova for tomorrow night and then I am off by myself. Reckon I'll take a night or two in southern France on my way to Spain, see how the French treat me...

Miss you guys!!

Ciao.


P.S. Not missing work though - you guys can get stuffed (hehe). I love this getting paid while sweating my ass off in a foreign country.
