Rome to venice

Today, we are leaving 14 others in Rome, but we gained 5 new ones. I'm excited to have a smaller group. 42 people is probably too many. I felt bad for the new people because everybody got on the bus hungover, sick, and had no sleep. There wasn't a whole lot of people introducing themselves or even talking lol. Today was a really long day on the coach. We stopped in a city called Verona. The city style wise was similar to Rome but definitely not as cool. It has Europe's 3rd biggest amphitheater there. After seeing the colleseum, it was a little lame lol. The coolest part is that they still use it for entertainment once in a while. The city is also known for Juliets balcony and statue. People visit Juliets statue to grab on her tiddies it's supposed to be good luck to grope her. We checked it out and looked, but there were so many people touching her. Over all the years of people touching the statue, it is completely miss coloured on her chest. The only thing I could think about were the germs. We collectively decided to pass on it because we weren't feeling good and didn't want to sit in line just to contract pink eye or something. Instead of sightseeing, we just sat and had a coffee with our friend Nick to kill time before we had to leave. This definitely helped the hangover but not the raging cold. There's absolutely no way we get over this cold while on the Contiki tour. It's impossible. After a couple of hours in Verona, we were off to the hostel. We got there around 8:00. We were told to stay in the hostel at night because outside the hostel at night was a little sketchy. There was no need to even leave the hostel because there's a club downstairs in our hostel. I thought this club was only open to the people staying there, but it turns out anybody can come in. There was so much security in the hostel that it was kind of crazy. We got to our hostel, and it just happened that 2 of our roommates were the new guys. They both seem cool it's a good way to get to know them. Ones Canadian and the other is Kiwi. The Kiwi came with a lady everyone assumed was his girlfriend, but their actually exs. They booked the trip together while they had different partners as well. They get along, which is good, but it's a really strange situation lol. He says they will not ever get back together, but I don't believe them. Pearse and I went for some sushi with just the 5 new people, and they all seem really cool. After we wrapped up at sushi, it was time to welcome them to the crew by going to the club. You could hear the music from around the block and all through the hostel, so it was a disappointment when we showed up and it was dead. Slowly, the urge to party was disappearing. Right before we were gonna call it a night, it started getting wild inside. Unfortunately, neither of us was really feeling it anymore lol. Pearse went up to bed around midnight, and I stayed for about an hour and danced for a while before I had enough. We packed it up pretty early because we have a big day in the canals of Venice tomorrow. Not a huge picture day forsureRead more
