Hi again! Im in Rome and there is so much old stuff here. Thousands of years old. And its everywhere you look. I moved from Milan to Brescia, then to Venice before I arrived here. In Brescia, I stayed with an Italian family that Jackson and Dorothy from church know and that was a nice change from hostels and hotels. They showed me around Brescia and Iseo Lake and the next day we did a trip to Verona. Venice was very pretty, although extermely hot. Lots of alleyw...

Ciao amici, Im all alone in the big, bad world! (Sorry for the lack of apostrophes; once again its the foreign keyboards fault). Sonja and I parted ways in Lauterbrunnen yesterday morning. I cant remember exactly what I said in the last blog, but we went parasailing (really fun and spectacular views) and we took a cable cart up to the top of Schilthorn and had lunch in a revolving restaurant. We had an interesting conversation with some actual Swiss people, and ...

We had friendly people staying in our hostel and there was plenty to do there. We only arrived a few hours ago and we're having problems ...

Hello once again! We got back to Spain yesterday afternoon after a long overnight train from Lisbon to Madrid and then a 3 hour train from Madrid to Seville (or Sevilla as it´s locally known). One thing that you should know if you plan to come to Seville is that it is very, very, very hot in the middle of summer. Get accomodation with functional air-conditioning. Alternatively, do lots of shopping and spend your days in air-conditioned comfort. When we got here ...
