venice, pisa, florence and rome all on the same day

9 apr
set off from venice to pisa. stopover at florence for 2 hrs only. carried 10 plus kg bag and. walked along the river..again haha yay..rivers are the best. walked towards the hill where michelangelo's works are. but of cos we din climb upill. tired and felt super consti..(huh..i forgot now le). nothing much though. we found a marketplace later but gotta rush 4 train..sighhzz..on train le. another 1 hr plus to pisa.

got abit lost. lucky we asked one woman where the tower is. detoured abit and walked a long way abt 30min not like wat edel's fren claim tat the tower is JUST OUTSIDE the station. where got? but lucky not with the bag this time. we spent 3 eur per luggage to deposit it at the train station. but it's worth la..else wont be enjoying the time in pisa at all. yea busy posing once we reached there. really many pple pose the same way there lor. so must be innovative..i did new poses and then while edel was taking it for me, one woman just came over and exclaimed out super loudly. then more came over..ji scary. hahahaha i see edel's face i keep luffing la. they were japanese la..no wonder so expressive. super enthu exclamations. then they asked me to take for them. really challenge lor cos it's very difficult to make it perfect and the poser will be super tired la, so i just tried shift more rather than asking him to shift.

oh manz..running out of time else can help more. so i tried my best to take the best shot. edel bought one souvenir then we set off to retrieve our luggage be4 getting up the train to rome. 3 hrs. the yucky toilet no water la..damn er. even out of the station leh. very diff scenery once we reach rome. a very built up city but graffiti everywhere. we called up the rest and managed to meet them outside the colloseum. so happy to meet them lor. exchanged experiences while we look for good cheap place for dinner. 8 eur for one whole pepperoni (salami) pizza, most worth the $$ de. the others ordered chicken with wedges for 10 and gnocchi but bul was the most unhappy, think his share was only abt 4 spoonfuls of rice on a big plate. sad case. we rushed back afterwards cos metro close at 9. so early lor. oki..heard from them abt the hostel liao. HI again. REALLY CANT WAIT TO SEE IT lor. ok..HI in italy..ermm...rome's slightly better than the venice's one though. but breakfast is still one bread, 1 butter, 1 jam, 1 coffee and 1 orange juice, one item more.

oops 930am le..1.5 hr more to leaving ricky road. k i go chinese supermarket and pass chris's stuff to her fren first.
