Hotel Roma Terme Abano Terme

... The hostel I stayed at was a DUMP! It was really pretty terrible. But I slept well-enough and opted to avoid the 'shower' and wait for the cruise. Though I know that will be a cramped space, but at least it will (hopefully) be clean.

Arrivederci Italy! A presto.

Hopefully I'll find internet here and there while docked at various ports. But it may be a full week before you get any witty, intelligent, humorous updates from this particular traveler. ;)

Ciao!

... still alive.

We got settled back on board and thought we better have something to settle the nerves so we had a few cocktails by the pool and not much time later I ripped up the divorce papers and we were once again happily married .We enjoyed a romantic spa with 10 German kids and then fell asleep on the deck in the sun for an afternoon siesta well time was marching on and I was time to get ready for Dinner as our Dinner time was 6.30pm each night ...

... The evening was spent exploring the city streets and trying to find a place that had good food, was near the canal and was not terribly expensive....nothing like that existed so we settled for an expensive meal of pizza which turned out to be worth all the money we spent. We stayed out until about 2am exploring and arrived back at our hostel, weary and ready for sleep.
Yesterday we woke up fairly late (about 930am or so) and after eating a free breakfast at the hostel (such ...

... it is amazing… no roads.. Some little footpaths and only boats of all shapes and sizes zipping around. We then went to San Marco.. The main square in Venice .. I would think on a fine day lots of tourists sipping cappuccino and feeding millions of pigeons… however as it was raining we took shelter and found a place to have the world’s most expensive coffee and tea while being serenaded by a 4 string quartet…. Very posh.. The ADRs ...

After the wedding we spent a few days in Venice before flying home. This is one of the cities I wish I could walk around without anyone else there. I am sure it is much more beautiful without the hundreds of people on every little bridge. It was a lot of fun wandering around, getting lost and then finding a place to enjoy a glass of wine.

cheers

I have practised sport since I was a child, since my father gave me my first rugby ball... I must have been about 6 years old! Now I am 36 and my physic does not react anymore as before! I have realized my need of having some cures which could allow me to recover the physical form... of my twenties! As sportsman, as well as extremely dynamic person, I would have never been satisfied of a simple physiotherapy, especially if I would have had to do it in ...

... Each plays two numbers, about 10-15 minutes in length, while the other, barely 50 feet away, makes fun of the first. The crowd keeps walking between them as they alternate playing, clapping wildly to each. So Diana and I hang around for a bit, with two coffees and a tiramisu between us. (To be fair the tiramimsu disappears pretty quick.) We leave only because it gets really cold (and we still hadn't gotten me a sweater.)

... whole time. We had a rude awakening about being somewhere different when we tried to ask the information clerks something, and we treated with disdain and sarcasm. It was impossible to get info on how to get all the way to Croatia so we were playing a bit of a guessing game. Venice is best seen by boat. So we bought a 2 day pass and started by heading out to our room in Lido, an island off the main ...

... amazes me to see these huge mountains that are green from all the trees, and then see a patch of grass with houses on it. How do they decide that they want to live there? It was strange to me, but amazingly beautiful. So then I arrived in Milan, which I didnt care for so much. I didnt have long there, but it was long enough. The city was too busy, everyone shoving through like cattle. It tried to metropolitan when really it should have supported ...

... through the winding streets, headed to the place everyone goes - San Marco. The Rialto Bridge is just a few minutes away from the hotel, so we stop there first for a few photos and to just stand on the bridge and view the Grand Canal in front of us as the sun is setting. View of the Grand Canal from the Rialto Bridge A gondola There are signs everywhere pointing the way to San Marco, and its impossible to ...
