11/02/2012 Milan Last night Trav complained so much to reception he got us breakfast for free this morning, and what a buffet breakfast it was! Everything from cereals and toasts, to eggs and bacon, to chocolate mouse and cakes and everything in between! After breakfast it was off to the train station it was for us to get lost in Milan and find some good shops and spend our (Trav's) millions! We had found the metro train station just off the main street near...

10/02/2012 Venice to Milan Our alarm went off at 6:30 this morning as we were too lazy yesterday to pack our bags last night! Neither of us slept very well last night but did sleep on the train to make up for it. We quickly had some breakfast and went and boarded the water-bus to take us to the train station nice and early. For once our train was on time, and thankfully as the train station is small and has no shelter from the cold. This morning was overcast ...

09/02/2012 Venice This morning we slept in until 9:30 and rushed down to breakfast (it finished at 10). Breakfast was very basic but did the job.

We didn't leave until closer to 10:30 though as our train was cancelled when we arrived to the station and the one after was an hour later and was delayed by 45minutes. So we sat in McDonalds in the warm. The train from Florence to Venice was only an hour and a half and the snow on the way was crazy! There was no movement on any roa...

07/02/2012 Florence Today we had a lazy day we woke up again after 9 and went down and had breakfast then went back to bed and watched Prison Break for a couple of hours. We did get out and I made Trav come back to the markets as I decided I wanted a new belt. I found a buckle I liked but I didn't like the strap. Not only did I barter the price down $20 euro I then made the poor guy change the strap over and put it on the buckle I liked! WIN!! (mum you should...
