Munich
At the famous clock which everyone watches and then gets let down. A cheer at the end by both of us got a few stupied looks. Hey All,
I have decided not to be lazy and write a blog. Because i have been lazy i am doing a big chunk of places all together. So pretty much after vienna we caught the busabout bus to munich. Busabout has been so good by the way, the bus days are not that bad, we use it as our rest day and catch up on sleep day.
We did alot while we were in Munich, includig walking tour, bike tour which we rode out into these massive gardens to a huge beer garden, stopped there for 45mins and had 1 liter beers and sausages then rode back. Far to say the ride home was alot funner than the ride there. We also did a day trip out to Dachau concentration camp with was so confronting but well worth going, learnt alot and really needed a beer after that one.
We only had one night in venice, but headed into town from dinner, takeaway pizza which we ate while watching all the rich people get on gondala ride for 100 euros. Idiots. Had a good look aorund and got lost at least 10 times in 3 hours, those
Munich
Bike tour, so sick of hearing about churches and statues that mean nothing. streets are crazy and having a map was pretty much useless.
Then onto Rome, we hadn't booked the bus here because it was so full so we decided to take a chance and hope that some people slept in, there was one other guy also hoping the same, at 8am there were 2 spare seats so the big guy said we could have them, i kept my mouth shut and brendan agreed that it was the right choice for us to go. So on we hopped, felt bad for about 30mins then got over it. Rome was awesom, so much to see and so little time, we had 3 days here but we could of had a week, i was glad to get out of there though, so many people. We stayed in a camp ground out of town which allowed us to get out of the crowds which was nice.
Florence next, i loved it, so laid back. Did a walk and fork here, which is a walking tour and then a meal at the end. Good times. Brendan went and saw the david, i decided to save my 10 euros because you can see him

Now we are talking, pit stop on the bike ride. Happier now. in the street for free. People say the real one is way better but i think they just say that to justify spending the money. I'm onot them.
This was the part of the trip where i was organising which stressed boy out but all went well. We caught local trains to cinque terra which was so beautiful. Did the 12km walk through the villages, so nice to do some exercise. Beers on the rocks with a few people we met and then local trains to Nice. The train ride was so scenic also, all along the coast which made the time go very quickly.
The trip is going very well, no lost passports, no lost money and i still have mums camera which is some kind of miracle. So touch wood the luck continues.
Stayed tuned for Nice, Tom throw, Ibiza.
Hope all is well at home....xoxox
