On The Road Again

1st July, 2009, AEST 10:36pm

On yet another train today, and it’s off to the city of Venezia.. Out of the three places we’ve stayed, I’ve enjoyed Milano the most. Perhaps it’s something about the city, but not every person and their dog seems to smoke unlike in Paris. I’m probably going to get lung cancer just from passive smoking now thank you Paris. Still, a high proportion of people smoke unlike in Brisbane. As Australians we are absolutely anal about rules and health, and you know, I actually have an appreciation for that. Especially for road travel. It’s like a friggin’ free for all on the streets. Anyway, yesterday was our shopping and tour bus day in Milano. Ah, shopping in Milano. I hate shopping, in fact I loathe it with a passion, but I actually enjoyed myself. And I actually bought a dress and a top. The tour though was probably the highlight of the day, I finally to see ‘The Last Supper’. It was just spectacular, no, words can not describe actually how amazing it was. And just the thought of being in the same room as Di Vinci when he painted this masterpiece. Oh god I nearly shat myself. I know people make this pilgrimage as a religious experience, I didn’t though. I did it purely for the artistic experience. Just to observe the technique which this master used. Anyway, dinner at 10pm per usual, we’re just really slack like that. Out of the hotel (which was just amazing by the way) at 10:22am and on the train by 11:35am. It’s currently 1:56am local time, and we appear to be getting off the train within the next half an hour and then onto the next leg of our journey. Well, that’s all for now as it appears as though this laptop might eat itself soon.
