What day is it?

My god it has been some time since I blogged. Time has just flown by and I haven't been good with keeping track of what we did and when we did it. I will try to give you a quick review of what has been happening... starting with us leaving Mykonos. We left Mykonos on May 16th I believe, it was a beautiful day It was sad to say good bye especially to the nice place we stayed in. I gave our host lady some Canadian Pins to remember us by and we were sent off on another 5 hour boat ride.We got to Athens at 9pm and had already booked it the night before because it was cheap and we just needed a one night stay. We learned quickly why this place was so cheap. There was a creepy guy there that was standing at the door when we emerged from the old school elevator doors. We continued to a creepy lobby and stood there awkwardly until we paid and were shown our rooms aside from eerie vibe the rooms weren't as bad as you would imagine, lets just say that guy gave us all the heebie geebies. That was the first place we actually locked ourselves into the room using the skeleton key given to us. The next morning we high tailed it out of there as early as we could.

Traveling to Rome was a long journey. We left Athens on a boat which took about 16 hours. Good thing we rented a bed to stay in. It was really nice like a small hotel on the boat. 4 beds and a bathroom. We were soo glad there was a shower since we were all too scared to shower at the creepy hostel. After the boat we switched between train and bus about 5 times or more I couldn't even keep track. After two days of travel we arrived in Rome safe and sound on May 18th.

Yesterday we had a long day. We got up and got a unexpected free breakfast from the hotel we are at and then were off to tour Rome. We went to the Musei Vaticani, Pantheon, and the Trvei fountain. Our night ended with a last minute Pub crawl, our first Pub Crawl in Rome! How crazy is that? It was super fun and we all have awesome tee shirts to show. Everyone we met at the crawl where tourist as well so we made some new friends and even bumped into some old ones that we met in Bari on the way to Rome.

Well we are now off to the Borghese Gallery.

PS. If we get some time we hope to post lots of photos of our adventures on photo bucket or something for all to see. Until then sorry no photos.
