A long time has passed since I last wrote and a lot has happened. And it's crazy to think that I am already half way done my time in Europe. Everything has flown by!
First of all, Happy Easter to all. I hope family, friends and laughter were present :). I spent my Easter Break journeying through the beautiful country of Italy. Wine, pizza, pasta, gelato was all consumed, walks through magical streets of ancient history, a random stop at the TRL MTV Italian Music Awards, train rides and relaxing beaches.
We started in Trento, next Verona, then Venice, further to Florence for 3 nights, Pisa in 3 hours, and ending in Genoa to finish off before a night train back home; Vienna. The night train was quite the experience. Kristina and I had our own compartment, two beds, with a wake-up call of cappuccinos and croissants; perfect start to a day.
I took The Da Vinci Code with me to Italy and it was the perfect book to read on this vacation. I have already seen the movie but books are always way better.
I forgot how comfortable my bed was here, and how much I missed Vienna till I was back. As much as I loved the getaway with such amazing girls, by the end I was sick of being a tourist and believe it or not missed the sound of German! lol I was way too excited on the night train home. I missed the beautiful and crazy people that are my friends here :). 8 of us went for all you can eat Sushi for Easter dinner on Sunday when we all got back to catch up.
After dinner, Tamara and I stayed up till 5 am watching the Canucks. Was so disappointing when they lost in overtime and we had to go to bed mad lol. Hopefully tonight they can finally take the series and defeat the Hawks. I have an exam tomorrow morning at 830 am so I don't think I will be up to watch the whole game but I might try and catch the end of the game. Which could be a good or bad thing. Good if they win, I'll go to my exam in an extra good mood but if they lose... that might be a problem.
I think I might have actually picked a date to come home. Since I am now in no rush to come home, nothing to rush home to anymore. I told Karin she had to give me a reason to come home, which she has produced :). Vegas for a week for her birthday sounds like a perfect reason to come home. So I will probably see you all in the beginning of August. August 1 is what I am aiming for but depending on flight costs; its not set in stone. But I will be home before August 3.
Night xo
