Que Bella

Soo I have arrived in Italy!
We had a fantastic time at the West Coast Riot, partied hard to Flogging Molly and froze ourselves with the lack of sun and heat which had been forecasted.

On Friday, the guy who let us have his extra appartment toured us around Gothenburg with a couple of his friends.... which consisted of talking at a cafe for an hour, going to an amusement park and then eating at a bar which was supposed to have this amazing all you can eat buffet, but it was cancelled because of the world cup. Regardless the day was lots of fun. Apparently his father owns a fishing camp and has offered to take us crayfishing in August. Fun!

Friday night we trained to Copenhagen, it was a neat town, but we litterly spent 24hrs there. We actually went on this huge adventure to find the Little Mermaid (Our favourite Disney character, though Danish) but when we eventually found where she was supposed to be... we were informed that she is on load to Shainghai for the Expo 2010. Bummer! So instead we observed some swans attacking some mallards because they were too close to thier ducklings, or are they swanlings? Either way, their babies.

We trained down to Lubeck Germany from Copenhagen and the train went on to the ferry. I know this is a common occurance, but had never experianced it! On the ferry we indulged in some duty free wine. That is six individual portions of wine which came in the juice box foils! Ha, they we fun, and saved us in Lubeck when we had to sleep outside of the aeroport. All of our informants had told us we could sleep inside, European aeroports were 24hrs. Apparently not in Lubeck though!

Saturday we arrived in Pisa, Italy. Warm Weather! Watched the Italia vs. New Zealand football match with our housemates and had a bbq. Seriously a blast. There is nothing to do here except enjoy the company of italians and drink vino. Que bene!

Today we biked down to the Leaning tower of Pisa, and then enjoyed some fabulous pasta we found on this sketchy back road with a Swede and Frenchman from our hostel. Fantastic pasta... and olives! I forgot how much I enjoyed fresh olives!

Tomorrow Cailan and I are heading to Cinque Terre for the day and then down to Tuoro sul Trasemino so I can check out an archaeology dig I was invited to.

After that... I think its Venice? Crotia by the 2nd!! Yay beaches and birthdays!
