Again, apologies to our fan-base for the lack of updating. They days are going by a steam powered pace.

Our most recent journey began on Monday, the 8th of March, 2010. We left our Hostel late afternoon and made our way to the metro through the wind and snow - whatthefucksnow!? It was an unwelcome and sour reminder of the world we thought we left behind. Just 3 days before we were on the beach enjoying the sun and cold beer. When we emerged from the warm underground we found ourselves among palm trees, heavily laden with the powdery fluff of children's dreams. Sticky, thick and copious. Apparently this was the first time in 4 years Barcelona has seen snow and never so ridiculously abundant. So yes, this means Rosey and I actually witnessed: WEATHER HISTORY.

Our boat (oh right, we took a boat btw) was a ferry/cruise ship. Most of the travelers were staying in cabins ranging from first - third class. Too rich for our blood but they did have a reject-class option. This was a large room with airplane style seating and no windows. I used to pride myself on never getting sea sick but I think it was a window-reliant ability. The seas were rather rough - delaying our journey by several hours and forcing them to close the on-board discotech. To make up for it, they served us a free dinner (yeay!) with fish that would have probably ended up on the floor of the on-board discotech.

We disembarked at 1am in Italy, at a port city I can neither pronounce nor spell, and took a shuttle to the train station. We waited till 5am with some fellow passengers, trying to talk but finding it difficult so we just all smoked outside and got hassled by the cops together. "The ties that bind" as they say. Leaving them at some point we found ourselves in Rome's central rail terminal. It is about this time that we realized the lack of some important information - such as everything relating to our hostel. Got map. Got internet. Spent another 4 hours wandering around a 2 block radius looking for the words "Rome City Hostel." We found it scrawled neatly on a 2in by 5in placard among other residents of a nondescript apartment building. That one's their bad.

We ate. We slept. Aaannnndd that about does it. Pictures pictures!

This snow is 4real.

Oh, and one day we rented a scooter and drove all up n' 'round the metrop.
