Europe
Welcome! This is a blog for our big trip to Europe in June/July. We've got 11 countries to visit, or 12 if you count Vatican City. So I guess it will all unfold here.....

Our time travel


Just finished an amazing night in this city called San Gimignano. It was like we had travelled back in time. It was full of old churches and towers, most of which had been built in the 11th century, and not much had changed since then. We stayed with this Italian woman who spoke no English. Whatsoever. She spoke a lot too. We just dont know what about. But her place was cool. And right in the middle of town.
We are both rapidly falling in love with/ getting addicted to Italian gelattos. They are so good!
We had the transport mission of a lifettime, 3 buses, 3 trains and a metro to get to our hostel in Rome. But we have made it! We are in Rome. So it is now time to as the Romans do. Well we are going exploring now anyway.

As a side note, Jenna, those were totally crutches on the picture. But I didnt see it. The crutch was really thin and its really hot here and maybe my brain was functioning. You have to admit, it was a pretty big arm though....
