Well we got back to Rome, staying in the same place as the start of the tour, except it was new years and that meant party!! we organised a pub crawl with our crew, had drinks in our room (cos ours was the biggest!!) and then trained to the spanish steps. I have to say, we feel kinda bad cos we got to the famed spanish steps, spent about 5 minutes chattin to people then cruised straight for the first pub!! ahh well... at least we saw them haha
the first pub was free drinks, which meant things got messy, so by the last pub we were well in party mode. But the italians started doin their countdown and because we dont speak italian we had no idea what was goin on and when to yell!! Was a really awesome nite nonetheless, and we got free t shirts to boot! good new years. New years day was recovery, which we spent at the Trevi Fountain. I threw two australian dollars into the top part of the fountain, so there is a little bit of Australia left in Italy by me :0) first night at our hostel was funny to say the least! Ella and I were by ourselves in the pub for about 3 hours til the guys rocked up, and 3 hours equals three bottles of wine in Italy time so... the night kicked off well! We went out to dinner, came back to the Yellow pub and played "beer pong". If you havent played it, try sometime... you'll love it haha. Anyways we were so loud and laughing so much when we crammed into our single bunk bed, our roomates must have thought half the hostel had come in!! Mi Scusi!!
One by one people started leaving Italy for their other holiday destinations, so we said goodbye and then just ventured around Rome doing our own thing. We ate, shopped, spent too much money, and caught up on some much needed sleep! The hostel we had had bunk beds, and Ella and I cant sleep apart, so yeop you guessed it.. we both slept crammed into a SINGLE bed for three nights. Ahh well, desperate times call for desperate measures haha
Milan was our next stop, because we had to go there to train to Amsterdam, and hoped to get some shopping done on the way. No luck with the shops, but we went and saw Bee Movie in Italian at the cinema!! I think we understood "mi scusi", "prego", and "allura" for the whole two hours! classic.Anyways, off to Amsterdam!
