    We had a couple of nice days in sjpp as the hikers on the camino call it. We are in a cheese producing region, so we went looking for cheese, we ended up at a cheese Maker's house he had sign up. He let us taste some cheese and showed us the room they made it in. It was good we bought some for the drive tomorrow.Read more

  • The trip from Barcelona to Rome

    March 31, 2025 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 64 °F

    After spending our last day in Barcelona, we boarded a ferry to head to Italy. the ferry was a different kind of trip. we had a very small room with a bathroom and shower with one hand towel and one bath towel between the two of us. the ferry allowed dogs, so that was fun. most of the people on the ferry were 18 year old kids on a school trip. I think they stayed up and partied.

    The second day is where life got exciting. they kicked us out of our room two hours before the cruise end ended. then the ship was about an hour late getting into Port. we planned on an uber to Rome even though the uber was going to be 140 dollars we tried but they had nothing available so we jumped on a city bus that got us to a 10 minute walk from a train station we missed the first train we paid for, but we made the second one we paid for. that got us to a bus that got us to 15 minutes from the hotel. we got there after midnight, but we're safe and sound and woke up the next day to have a great Italian meal and recover from the day before.
