Day Thirty-One - 25.06.05 - [Venice -> Lake Como]

• Got up at 8h30 (thought that it was 7h30 with FrecklesFly's watch) showered and signed out.
• Was disappointed that we could not get 10% discount because we reserved on-line, if we had not we would have gotten the discount with our receipt from the campground in Rome.
• Took the train to Milano at 9h52, switched trains and headed to Lake Como.
• We got there at 14h05 and after a bit of figuring out, we finally found the street that took us to our hostel.
• We got to the hostel, only to find out that it opened at 16h and it started raining cats and dogs again! We had to find a place to stay dry and we found a tunnel and stayed in it for a few minutes.
• After the rain stopped, we decided to look for a place to eat to kill 1h and come back to the hostel, but a guy who worked at the hostel saw us and decided to make reservations for us and told us to come back in a hour.
• Had two drinks at a bar across the street while we waited.
• Signed in the hostel and after that we studied the map and look at points of interest in the town for tomorrow.

Amount Spent: €147.00 (including payment for camp in Venice and Lake Como)

Day Thirty - 24.06.05 - [Venice]

• Started the day by catching the bus to Venice and we headed to Pont Rialto.
• We kind of spent most of the time looking in stores that sold jewellery and glass. I decided that I liked the glass pens they were selling so I started looking for one I liked.
• We kind of got lost and ended up walking to the north part of the island before heading back south.
• Stopped by a pizzeria for pizza to add some energy to find San Marco and Pont Rialto.
• Found San Marco immediately after eating! The place had so many piegons that they were selling seeds for people to feed the piegons with, we got a pack of seeds and fed the piegons.
• We took pictures of eachother feeding piegons, they were all over our hands, arms and shoulders!
• Headed to Pont Rialto, the bridge was full of stores selling jewellery or glass products, I found a small glass pen being sold for €13 so I got it. (a smaller souvenier than my father's huge HB stein!)
• We headed back to the bus stop and stopped by the grocery store to get some food for dinner, found cheap wine so we took advantage of the prices even though we already had two bottles of wine!
• Got back to camp and had dinner, went to bed.
• (note: autobus in Italy seem to be free, however they are not, but it is easy to get rides on them for free!)

Amount Spent: €39.94

• We decided to have a quick dinner at a Chinese restaurant that seemed to have good prices for their food.

• We headed back to Naples and then to Rome and arrived in Rome at approximately 22h and found out our metro was closed so we kind of panicked until we found out an autobus replaced our metro.
• We finally got back to our campground and checked to see if Buzzair was awake, but he seemed to be asleep so we made our dinner and got ready to go to bed.
• When I was ready to hit the sack, Buzzair came by and told us what happened at the hospital and told us he was heading home the next day.

• Our first stop was at the Colosseo and they accepted only cash and charged us €3.50 extra for audio guide because we were Deaf so we facked the Colosseo!

• We were surpised to see people sitting and having picinics on rocks and sculptures on the path.
• FrecklesFly decided to relax and sit on one of the stones and I thought the background made a perfect one for a picture so we took pictures.

• We finally headed to Vatican City, our first stop was at St. Peters.

• Took the morning train from Monterosso to Pisa
• Headed to the leaning tower of Pisa, but our tour is at 14h40 so we are killing time by updating our blog (internet is cheaper here than it was at Cinque Terre).
• Buzzair left for Rome while we waited for our trip up the leaning tower.
• Walking up the stairs in the tower felt funny, we could see the wear on the stairs move from the right to the left everytime we went up due to people adjusting their balance to the slope of the tower.
• After the tower, we bumped into one of the staff who worked at ResLife, the woman told us her name was Carol or Carrie, I cannot remember.
• We checked out a church and walked through several markets on the way to the train station, we bought some stuffed japleno peppers with olives, they were delicous and spicy!
• We caught a train to Florence, and once we arrived, we tried to get a room in several hostels, the first recommended by Let's Go was full, and the several ones they recommended were full and two people were observing us from a cafe and caught our attention and gave us a business card for another hostel, we though they were just another bunch of people trying to convince travellers into taking an expensive room so we just nodded and headed to the train station to get some help.
• The train station called several hostels for us, including the number on the business card. The business card said they would look for us and the person called back and told us they found a room for us at 35 euro per person, not our price, but it was almost 22h00 so we decided to accept.
• The hostel person was nice and chatted with us, showed us around the hostel and told us the people who owned the room would be here in ten minutes and they showed up, they were the same people who gave us the business card! They drove us to the room in a golf cart for approx 15 minutes.
• The room had a washroom with a toilet in the shower, kitchen with all the necessary supplies to cook, etc... The host gave us a map and circled the important spots for us to look at the next day.
• We headed out to get groceries and decided to get pasta and cooked our first European dinner in the kitchen for no more than 4 euros and were full after consuming half of what we cooked so we saved the leftovers for breakfast.

• The hike was very steep with a lot of steps going up the hills and mountains across grape vine farms.

• We got to Vernazza, since we spent time last night at Vernazza, FrecklesFly and I decided to keep on hiking to Corniglia while Buzzair stayed and rested due to his mono.

• We had delicous lettuce, tomato and mozzellera(sp) cheese and pesto and brie sandwiches.
• We headed to the nudist beach, but found out it costed €5 to enter so we facked the beach and headed to Manarola on trian due to the hiking path being closed.
• We got there, the town was smaller and we looked for Buzzair at the marina to see if he went there for a swim instead, we could not find him so we spent some time looking around town.
• We missed the train to Riomaggiore so we hiked there, the hike was easier than the two hikes we did and took us approximately twenty minutes to get there.
• The town was much smaller, but the food was cheaper there so we did our grocery shopping before catching the train to Monterosso.
• We had a quick swim at the beach before it got dark and made dinner, then spent some time reading in bed before falling asleep.
• Note: I think I lost €100 or €150 that day due to my sweaty hands sticking to the money when taking out the camera for some pictures! Today was not the best day for me when it comes to money! :(
  

Amount Spent: €67.95

• As we were looking for the internet cafe, we bumped into Buzzair shopping for some fruits and found out he was staying at the same place we just asked for prices and we decided to sneak ourselves into his room and spilt the cost of the room with the three of us to save €20 per night for each of us.

• We caught the next train headed to La Spezia and hurried to figure out how to catch a train to Monterosso to meet Buzzair.
• We found the train and followed some Canadian guys who said they were going there and for some reason they were going to a different town that passed Monterosso so we had to hurry up and find another train back to Monterosso.
• We got to Monterosso at around 23h with no room for the night we decided to go to a local pub and found a nice old man who took us to two hotels before deciding to show us a room.
• The room was loaded with a kitchen, big bed, small bed, dininig table, nice balcony with view of the town and good bathroom that had a clothwashing machine, but the price was very expensive, approximately €30 per person, but we had no choice becuase it was late at night so we accepted.

  him post detailed information so whatever he posts is pretty much what we all did.
