Italy n Greece

Hey guys, Monaco was great! Beautiful place amazing cars ferrari's, Lambourghini's merc the lot even a Viper, rich bastards. Played Black Jack at the Casino and won 300 Euro was wrapped could have kept going but we had to leave to catch the bus back or then again i could have lost it all. My friend who was playing with me won 500 euro we made a good team and i never normally bet. Anyway the next morning we heading down to Venice stopping on the way to Verona. We saw the balcony of Romeo n Juliet n thats pretty much it there. Venice was gorgeous, the was they blow glass is amazing and they're so quick at it to. Of course we had to go on a Gondola ride drinking champers as Venice is the city above water it really is surrounded by water there are no cars or motorbikes. We visited St Marc's Square it was a really nice city. Gelati and Pizza to die for, was starting to get sick of crepes and baguets. From Venice we drove down to Florence wasnt much to do during the day but that night was a party night. We went to a club called Space Electronic Disco. Downstairs was Karioki upstairs this mazzive dancefloor. It went off, didnt drink much though cause i was coming down with a cold but still made the most of it danced all night. Rome followed The next morning and as you can imagine we all were asleep on the bus and all week the weathers been in the 40's so that hasnt helped. We're complaining it's too hot n you guys are freezing cold lol. Oh almost forgot Pisa on the way to Rome. We didnt have time to climb it they only gave us an hour to take photo's n walk around. Disappointed. The cheesy photo's are so hard to take i took others really good holding up the leaning tower but whoever took mine was hopeless oh well. Rome wow Lots to see and do but me was to sick to do it. : ( We started the morning off with Vatican City! I loved it a few of us left contiki's group and joined a headset tour which explained everything painting and statue we looked at i was so glad cause the rest of the tour had no idea wat they were seeing and by who. Michaelangelo's Sistine chapel was creative and wonderful to be in and admire. There were Raphael and Leonardo's painting's too. i loved it We ending in the Basilica and out into the yard where the pope makes his appearances. Next was a tour guide through the roman ruins. Unfortunately i only got half way, same with the rest of my tour, it was 130pm and it was a scorcher of a day over 40 degrees, we quickly went to the Colosseum and took some photo's and then went shopping and headed off to the Spanish Steps. It was a long and tiring day but great at the same time. Later that night my sister Leeann and her husband Matt met me at my hotel. Was good to catch up and empty some of my luggage lol. Next day was Sorrento after a long bus drive we didnt have much time to enjoy it but we went to Capri and relaxed on the beach took a short cruise to the blue grotto was nice to relax. that night we ate dinner in Sorrento. What a beautiful view we watched the sun set whilst eating all the pasta and appetizers we could fit into our stomachs. the view was of the ocean and the port. Next morning was Pompei on the way to Bari, the city covered by volcano lava. This place i definately recommend. I'm not much of a history buff as you can tell but the story behind this city is so interesting. Oh the bodies that they were able to make casts out of show so much detail, there faces as they were in pain and screaming its so sad and even what they were wearing. This place got to me. I know this is rushed but my time is almost up. Once we got to Bari we caught a Ship across to athens over night and got to Greece in the Afternoon, wow time flies i have to leave it at that for now but i'll continue Greece when i next get the chance. Right now i am in Patmos 1 of the few islands i am visiting in Greece off to Rhodes tomorrow we have a Contiki party on the boat tonight so should be fun, Miss you all. take care xoxo
