Kuba and I met in Berlin a few days ago and I was reunited with my bike! We took a 24 hour train ride down to Venice from there. It was...interesting. Apparently I booked the wrong ticket for the overnight train so instead of beds we just had chairs. The next morning I woke up not feeling well at all. I hadn't been feeling well all week, but suddenly it was way worse. I threw up so many times into the nasty train toliet. When we got to one of our stopovers in Milan Kuba gave me some nausea tablets he got from Poland. They were black, and when I ate them they turned my entire mouth black. So, I take a drink of water to rinse my mouth out. But I was so sick I couldn't hold down water and instead vomited black into the train station garbage can. Yep, made some great first impressions on Italy.
Venice was amazing, but very expensive. Unfortunately I was sick for a lot of it and ended up laying in bed.
Yesterday was our first day biking. We biked 60 km to Ferrara. I'm feeling much better and tomorrow we're biking to Bologna. Oh, also there's wine here for 1 euro, which is the same price as a can of coke.
