Banana... ( Florence, Venice, Pisa, Cinque Terre, Verona, Milan, Nice,)

(Day 1...)(Luxury) Where do i being, sorry it has taken us so long to update but we have basically been non stop for the last 8days straight. Sooo Florence was amazing besides the train ride there we were very tired. Our first day we arrived there we had a 4 bedroom suite with our girlfriends from home so that was nice. When we arrived we were a little unsure of what it would be like, but to our suprise it was AMAZING! it wasnt just any ordinary hostel it was a damn HOTEL lol.... with our own flat screen tv and computer on top of that, oh plus we had free international calling to home soo this is why we all called home every few days while we were their lol! So after we all checked in and kind of settled it was about 5pm and we were all starving so we decided to go explore Florence.... We ended up spliting up for dinner in Florence and shan and I went to this little buffet dinner where you could write on the walls their.... Many travellers had written on the wall and many from Canada sooo of course we had too lol.... That was fun and a great little dinner and the owner sat and played guitar for us while we sat and enjoyed!

(Day 2) So on our first real day in Florence we ventured out to go explore some more and find the Duomo and the famous DAVID(the perfect male anatomy) Duomo is a church which we just stumpled upon and we went to the museum where david was but it was so expensive just to see the actually thing we found a replica of him in one of the squares where of course all the toursits go to visit lol.... Oh and in the square we were invaded by a bunch of asain tourists who for some reason were facsinated by our feet and us and started taking pictures lol(cazy asaians lol) After we saw what we wanted we decided to head to a few shops we had seen along the way and to go through the famous leather market of Florence which is about 2 blocks of little vendors set up... That was fun just to browse and doddle a bit lol.... Then we headed home around 4pm napped for abit and made our first meal in EUROPE and oh my it felt so good to cook again. pasta mhhhh Shan and I are going to have to wein ourselves of FUCKING carbs when we get home cuz thats all the Europeans eat! yet we don't understand why they stay so dam skinny lol....

(Day 3) Soo thrid day in Florence we did a day trip to Pisa and Cinque Terre. We started at 5am which weren't suppose to have to get up till 6am but someone didnt set the alarm clock right and we got up an hour earlier after only 3hours of sleep not soo fun anita!! haha and we all know am not a nice person in the am, needless to say i was NOT impressed lol.... So we made it to Pisa and were sooo overly tired we couldn't stop lauhing at all the stupid little shit along the way. oh and Shannon was on a mission to find....(can anyone guess) yes coffee lol.... so her new nickname now is (TANK) she never stops..lol we had our lunch for breakfast which was turkey sandwhiches which we found so funny yet sooo good at 7am lol.... SOoooo after we found shan coffe and she was happy again we walked 15mins and found Pisa.... It was really cool to see but we all werent going to pay like 11euros to go up a buliding which sinks a little every year no thanks lol.... We sat around their for about an hour because we had to wait to catch our train to Cinque terre, so Shan and I layed in the grass and found shapes in the clouds lol....

So Cinque Terre where do I begin its made up of 5 small villages along the coast line of Italy and might I say breath taking.... We stop at the first village and got out and walked around a little bit most of the towns you could walk around on trails but of course it was a fee to pay to walk them. Well we just walked the first one the shortest one because we were on a time limit.... But am so glad we did. we walked under a bridge which was famous their for the graffti and where all the lovers go to lock a lock to this look out point to ring ever lasting love. Then on to the second and third and fourth little villages which were all pretty much the same amazing views and awesome vibe from all the locals.... The last little villages was one of my favortes where i stoped took of my shoes and just let the waves crash against my legs for half an hour looking at a breath taking view.... After that it was about 7pm back on a three hour train ride back to Florence we were soooo tried and ready for bed... we still all had to pack because we were all on our way to Venice the next morning at 7am ohhh fun NOT lol....

(day 4) Travel to Venice was pretty quick about a two hour train ride and it was okay besides being sooo cold that our lips were purple lol.... Soooo did we have an adventure in Venice or what it was sooo expensive and their was nothing avaliable and since we left it to the final night to book accomadation until 11pm till the night before we went Camping in Venice lol... It was actualy really cute and very small we basically in a box with misqutoes lol.... but we had a little kitchen which we saved money by cooking breakfast and our dinners....try craming 4 girls into a box with one bathroom and one mirror not so fun lol.... But all in all it was really cute and the price was right sooo it worked for us.... Sooo after we got their we went into town to get some lunch and see how much it cost to do the gondola rides..... we wondered for a few hours got gelato and found some steps by the water where men were rowing down the canals and man was it a meat market for us instead of us being the meat we were hooting and talking with them.... Probably some of the best looking men we have seen in all Europe was in Venice lol.... So after making videos and taking pics for about 4hours Shan and I caught an earlier bus back and grabed a bottle of wine SUPRSING lol and sat down to play cards and have a few drinks... WHen we had a knock at our dooor, where one of the guys that worked their look at my passport found out how old we were and knowing that their were 4 girls decided to move in lol.... well he brought free beer and wine and we didnt want to be rude sooo we all sat around talking till about 2am. They turned out to be really nice guys sooo that was good lol....

(Day5) We made a day trip into Verona which is where Juliettes house is and one of the first century colusseums was ever built.... We made our way to Juliets house where their is a bronze statue and it is said that if you place your hand on her right boob you have a new love in your lofe soon.... So of course Shan and I did this being the toursits we are lol..... We wandered around their for a few hours and headed back to come home to leftovers and I was not in the mood for more pasta so i had yogart and gronola for dinner yummy lol....

(Day 6) On our final day in Venice we decided to go do alittle shopping wander the streets and get lost in the streets.... Thats what all the books say is to just get lost in Venice oh and did we ever lol.... We also wanted to do the Gondals sooo we found a very nice man whom took us around for just over 35mins and told us about alot of the history within Venice.... which was very intresting and it was soo ROMANTIC made Shan and I want to have a guy their with us, but we will return one day with our husbands or eachother lol.....

(Day7) McMilan.... So we had to take a train from Venice to Milan to Nice (south of France) soo we had about three hours to kill in between sooo we decided to go see the shopping capital of the world.... needless to say it was sooo fuckin epensive to do anything their we had to eat lunch at McDonalds ya not the greatest meal at all but it was the cheapest lol.... Then another stupid train ride oh ya the longest one yet 6hours not soo fun in a cramped room with 6 people in it and for some dam reason Europeans do not believe in deoderant and the Italian men are always staring at you! even when you have made eye contact with them and I had fallen asleep a few time and woke up to the creepy Italian man staring at me sooo creppy! SOoooo now that I have wrote a novel for all of you I hope you enjoy it and it will be updated about our first nigth in Nice in a few days!

I hope you like this one cuz my neck is killing me and my eyes are burning and I did not enjoy writting this NOVEl lol.... But we love you all and thank you for your support

MISS YOU ALL!!!! xoxoxo
