Well, this certainly was a culture shock and an experience Murda and I will never forget for sure. [View Full Entry]

Well, while in Munich, a day trip to Salzburg was a necessary venture due to the fact that CMurda's a huge Sound of Music fan. It's funny though because the locals in Salzburg could give a rat's ass about the Sound of Music as most of them have never seen it! Salzburg is not very big (150,000) and it's totally doable in a day.

We flew into Munich and were so happy with the sudden change of culture from Italy. Had a really nice flight too as Murda, Mo, and me all got to sit in the same aisle together. The flight attendants were blonde germans and super friendly as well. But of course, after landing in Munich- we had to overcome some more drama as two of our bags weren't there (Mo's and mine) ugh!!! Luckily, they showed up at the hotel 2 days later, but i thought for sure i wasn't ever gonna see that bag again....whew! Munich had great public transportation though [View Full Entry]

We had to overcome a little adversity in order to get to Florence!!! This was the first of two big scenes i've caused already!! After stayin up too late and having too much fun on our last night in Venice, we were in a hurry to catch the public transpo boat that would get us to the train station in time...It was time for the absolute last boat that would get us there in time and i was freaking out over my passport. i didn't remember packing it and i was frantically looking for it in my bags as the boat [View Full Entry]
