There is nothing quite like . . .


. . . Getting onto a dark night train, quietly making your way up the ladder in pitch black to crawl into your bed, only to find someone else IN your bed.

. . . Nearly forgetting your passports in a Venice Hotel, but remembering at the last minute, and having the old man owner kiss you because of it.

. . . Having the ticket booth man schedule your train ticket for the wrong day, so when that day comes and you discover your ticket is for the wrong day when the train is only minutes away, scrambling to buy another ticket for that train (thank goodness there are still seats available) and having to pay a hefty extra amount of money for getting new tickets.

. . . Ordering a what looks-like pesto pizza that turns out to be blue cheese, YUCK!

. . . Seeing an old woman hanging out in her bra and underwear like she owns the night train

. . . Having an old woman walk in on you in the bathroom and get a good look at your bottom

. . . There is nothing quite like the adventures you have while traveling. (More stories to come)

AHHH!! I want to hear details to all of these stories! You are so lucky to have this adventure! I am so jealous. It sounds like you are having lots of fun with a little trouble mixed in. What would a "vacation" be without a little trouble? Miss you...

Haha! Those are some epic stories. I'm sure there will be many more to come! I'm glad I get to live vicariously through your blog. :)

Wow. What more can I say? Glad I live in America?

Haha! Gross about the old woman. I'm glad you got on the train!

It wouldn't be an adventure without all of the trouble.
