The train was a great experience and it made for an easy day. When we arrived at the Lucca train station we still could not get in contact with our second farm and had high hopes that they would just be there waiting for us we had sent emails and called seve http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Tuscany/Lucca/blog-416550.html CiaoThe past couple of days have been pretty boring and routine. But we made some new friends the other night over dinner... We got to order pizza and have it delivered and it was very tasty mmm... There are lots of people that live on this farm that we are on and it is like a community more than a farm. Lots of little families and children running around. It's nice to hear all the laughter. http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/blog-414428.html Ciao And Greetings from the farmWhew... where to begin... we've finally gotten in the groove of farm life... wake up early eat breakfast pull some weeds take a really long break..... then work again... eat and fall into bed... but we must have looked tired by Friday because Luciana the ruler of the wwoofers was kind and gave us Saturday and Sunday off We were very greatful We slept in http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/blog-413317.html while you may have thought we were dead because you have not heard from us in a LONG time haha like 4 days we are actuall alive and well playing on a farm and become the masters of the weeds our flight into italy was at 645am and we watched our shuttle to the airport drive away without us so we had to get a taxi with a couple of other ppl that also missed it cuz the trip was 144 euro so when http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/blog-412187.html Hello EveryoneYesterday was a very relaxing day. We slept in and decided that we wanted to eat at a restaurant for the first time since we left and people watch. So we wandered up our street and picked a nice little bar restaurant and chose a seat next to the window. We just sat and talked for an hour or so and observed a little bit of the cultural differences and clothing styles in Spain. http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Spain/Catalonia/Barcelona/blog-410570.html So yesterday was a whirl wind We finally made it to bed around 1... and were up by 430 to catch the metro hop on a bus that took us to the airport to fly Gerona. Then we took a bus into Barcelona... it was a very long trip. But we found our hostel very easily It is very close to the metero After walking around Paris and all of the traveling we were pretty tired so we decided to take a nap.. http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Spain/blog-409783.html Hello EveryoneWe had a successful flight to Paris... it was long but we made it We learned the train and metro system quickly and are enjoying the public transportation.
