Napoli & Paestum

We woke up early-ish, checked out of the hostel, then made our way to the train station where we located a train to Napoli (Naples). We hopped on board and were off...eager to explore a new city and looking forward to exploring a city with an infamous reputation for history, dirt, grime, adventure…

Rome Part II & A Travel Tip

By 11:00 we were on our feet again. Making our way down to the Metro station with a Brazilian friend we had met the night before...and a quick stop for a lunch-time kebab...we caught the metro to the Coliseum stop. We p…

Rimini, San Marino, Ravenna & Rome Part I

Venice

I arrived at the main train station about 5 o'clock in the afternoon. The day was a bit gloomy with a light rain methodically drenching everything. The streets were wet and slick and setting out into the city without a map or idea where I was going didn't strike me as overly appealing. Luckily the…

Pisa, the Cinque Terre & Verona

Before I start up again I just want to make a side note that hostels really are odd places. Last night was the worst hostel experience I think I've had thus far. Though that sounds overly negative as the vast majority o…

Florence, Italy

After an exhausting train and ferry ride I eventually arrived in Florence. I had pushed hard in order to ensure that I arrived in time to meet up with an old College/dance friend studying outside of Milan. I arrived Wedn…

Dubrovnik

The bus ride to Dubrovnik was beautiful. Definitely an interesting ride south. As you wind along the coast the roads are intense. At several points we noted vehicles (a car, a large truck etc.) down on the rocks-cliff…

Split, an Island, and a taste of Dubrovnik

The bus I caught from the waterfalls ended up being a regional slow-moving one. Its route took it down rural roads and through small villages. The up side of which was an exceptional view of the Croatian countryside.…
