Home sweet Home

Well we made it home finally, but not without an adventure. We woke up early our last day in Paris and headed off to catch the only RER (train) to the airport. Come to find out, some idiot commited suicide by jumping in front of the train, so the line is closed. Were like 4 hours early, but we have no way to get there. Finally they start running buses, but there was about 150 people trying to cram on the buses. Finally we got on one and made it to the airport at 1115 and were sposed to leave at 1125 haha. Luckily it was delayed due to weather. Made it to Newark then to PTI. Thanks all for following along!

So we made it to Rome yesterday. We got off the train, traveled to our badass campground and chilled at the pool all day. This place is really badass because it is like a little city on the outskirts of Rome. Its a campground with a restaurant, store, pool, bar, club, the works. Last night we stayed in a bungalow, but unfortunately tonight and tomorrow night we have to stay in a tent. Its got 2 beds, but we have 2 so peter has the luxury of staying alone lol. Were kinda worried because its pretty hot here, but hopefully it will be cool enough to sleep tonight. We will see. Today we planned on walking around the city and seeing whats up. When we got into the city, we started walking around when we stumbled on the coliseum. We ended up paying €21 for a tour of the coliseum and palatine hill which was definitely worth it. It was really interesting to see all of the history. By the time we finished, it was 4 and we were exhausted. We came back and chilled at the pool for awhile, ate some dinner, and now we are here. Think we might go grab some icecream and hang out by the pool for the rest of the night. Headed to Nice on a 12 hour overnight train on wednesday night. Will probably post agin before we leave Rome....peace

Italy

So we took an overnight train from Munich to Venice. Needless to say we didnt get much sleep. We got to Venice and tried to find some accomodations, but ofcourse the cheapest hotel was like 45€ a night so we said f that. We went to an internet cafe and found a hsotel in Florence. We toured Venice for the day and hopped on a train for Florence. We got here and were searching for our hostel when we saw a dude on his motorcycle get hit by a car literally 10 feet in front of us. Im surprised it doesnt happen more often the way the idiots drive on their mopeds and motorcycles. The dude seemed alright, maybe a broken leg. Eventually we found our hostel which is pretty nice. Its the most expensive one yet, but were only staying 2 nights so its straight. We already booked the rest of our trip so I think were ok from here on out. France is a little iffy though because we couldnt fine a cheap hostel so we booked a hotel room with 1 double bed. Hopefully were gonna call and see if we can sleep 3 in there with a cot or something. If they say no, were going to have to sneak one of us in at night. Oh well. But were gonna go explore Florence now...peace

Lost posts, castles, and Road Trip....

So i wrote a post yesterday and posted it, not sure where it ended up. But yesterday we woke up early and took a train to Neuschwanstein Castle. Google it. Its the one that Disney designed his castle after and it was really cool. Theres another castle right beside it so we toured both and spent the day there. Took a train home and got there around 9. We slightly celebrated the 4th of July but nothing too crazy. Had to check out this morning around 10, so we all woke up around 9:30 and packed everything up. Checked out and hopped on the train for Dachau. We toured the Dachau Concentration Camp for a long time which was pretty neat. They had a ton of history and what not which was neat. We came back to Munich and hit up the Hunting and Fishing museum. Which was, needless to say, very very badass. Kyle and Peter werent big fans but I liked it haha. Walking home, the highlight of the day, we saw the dude from Road Trip (not sure of his name, maybe Kyle? The skinny one who 'boinks' the fat black chick haha) so we stopped and got a picture with him. Instant classic. So we came back to the hostel, which weve already checked out of, and are just hanging out. Its raining (someone forgot to tell us it rains EVERY day in Europe, I only thought that was London.) so we cant really go out and do anything. Our train to Venice doesnt leave until 11:35 tonight and its only 4;30. So weve got some waiting around to do lol. But Im running out of minutes on this computer so Ill hit yall up from Italy when we get there....peace
