Back In Germany

Guten Morgen. I'm now back in Germany, partying it up with Gordon Chow!!! My volleyball partner....same last name but not related. hahaha. We had a blast at Oktober Fest. I can't believe I made it. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to go. We got some dates mixed up and I caught the last day. It was celebrating its 200 birthday so they were open on the Monday when I arrived. They usually finish on the Sunday. Lucky me. We had dinner there and played a few carnival games. Pictures to come.

I also got to meet up with Virginia and her boyfriend. She is staying in Munich for a couple of months. I'm sure we will get to hang out again.


So back in Germany is like starting all over again. New language, new food, new people. I was just getting use to the Italian culture, although, I'm glad to be back in Germany as Italian men are all over travelling women...or asian women for that matter. hahhaa. Stories to be told there.

Anyhow, I'm on may way out to site see a bit more of Munich and then off to Tubingen to meet up with Jan. He has been waiting patiently for me so it is time to be back with him.

Start keeping up with the reading!!! Lots of posts to come as I go through pictures and stories of my trip and how life has been a laughter....as well as many frustrations as well.
If you haven't already done so....given me your mailing address, then please email them...otherwise, no postcards will come your way!!! I hope to mail a card every week. Then everyone may get one....if not, it might be lost in the mail. Sorry. I'll do the best I can. :)

Cheers.
Traveled out Molina!
Ready to stay in one place.

8 mins left

Alright people,
Ive got 8 mins before my internet time runs out. Look at how lucky you are to get some time. hahhaa.
Well, im in Siracusa, south of Sicily down by the boot in Italy. We are here for the sun and then off to Lamenzia, 6 hour train ride back up north and onward home. Well, not home yet. I head to Munich to meet up with Gord, my volleyball partner. I get to party it up with him on the last day of Ocktober Fest and then sitesee Munich for one day and then home to Jan. I meet him in Tubingen where he goes to school and I finally try to find a job. WORK!!! I gotta work. I miss working....spending way to much money. But lots of experience that I cant buy, so its all worth it.
Lots of sun here in Siracusa. It is nice, about 26 to 27 degrees. Thats all we need to finish off our summer.
We were in Catania which is a nice hot place as well, just an hour north of Siracusa. The beach there was a lot of fun, but got burnt. No sunscreen sucks. Gotta have the sunscreen.
Getting to the beach was tough. A story to tell. Yikes. OR did i already post something about that. Probably not. 3 mins left. I better post before this doesnt go through.
More to come when I get home to Germany.
Chow!

Urban to Rural

Alright readers,
For those who know Italy, we were in Naples, soaking up the history, food, and culture.  We spent 4 days in Naples...got lots of stories to tell, but later. We then headed south to catch the sun. But instead, we caught a ghost town. Not a soul in sight. It was a town with everyone inside...during their siesta time, but where are the tourist!!! Its because there are no tourist left. We went to a town called Praya A Mare, or just Praya. Its beautiful but the summer season is over and everyone has gone home to go to school etc. There was seriously nobody travelling or people were not around. To make things worse, bugs got me. All over one arm. Not sure if its bed bugs or misquios trying to suck my blood or an allergic reaction to something. Well, we stormed out of that place right away.
We are now back into the city....gone south. Bottom of the boot. Catiania.
Well see if we hit the beach.
Over and out.

Onward Bound

Hi followers,
We are finished with Naples and onward to Priama a Mare. It is a beach place, hoping that they were not effected by the rain fall. Our plans has changed as the mudslide damaged the amalfi coast where we were going to go. It isnt a beautiful place to go so we are heading further south. We just want some beach time.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD! I know i dont have time to call as its hard to get a phone around here. And then trying to make sure I dont call you at 3am. hahaha. I hope you had a great day with Stella and your friends. Im sure your friends took you out for dinner.

Time in Naples was great. There is a lot of history here. Lots of pizza. YUM. And lots of gelato. But most of all, i think ill miss the motercycle ride by the manager here at the hostel. That will be another post when i have time. Stay tuned.

Hope Vancouver weather isnt too cold yet.

In Naples and Safe

Short posting as its now 1am. We got to the Hostel Giovannis Home. We couldnt find the place, it was raining, and didnt get the proper email from Giovanni as it was in my spam box. It wasnt fun, especially when it is a place known for crime. Mafia, pick pocketers....ahhhhh, why are we here! But im here, safe and it seems to be a great place. Very home oriented. We got a 2 hour history lesson and an overview of what we should and shouldnt do while we are here. So much info at a late hour. It was already a long day with lots of excitment that i want to share, but its late so you will have to wait until another day. Here are some bullet points.
1. Getting on a moving train in Siena
2. Another train experinece, but glad it wasnt a fine!
3. I hate misquitos
4. Without a map, hope we can find our way in Siena
5. Naples, how bad is this place!
6. Will our schedule change again!

Jan and I, on a September Morning

This picture got sent to me so I was able to post it on my blog. Dont worry, more photos will come when I get home to Germany and all settled in.

This is one of the 2 mornings we spent outside for breakfast. It was still cold, but the sun was quite warm for us to be able to be outside. Look at this Canadian girl, no socks or sweats...and the German hunk, all bundled up to keep warm. What a wonderful picture. Our mornings were great. Lots of laughs making breakfast and lots of talks about everything.

Thanks Jan for a great time in Germany to start off my trip. I cant wait to learn more German to impress your mom. I know she is already impressed, but perhaps i can have a conversation with her in the near future about everything and anything.  Thanks for being my tour guide in your home town. Miss you lots.

Beer and Internet!!! IRONIC

I just had to add that we have gone to the same internet place twice in Florence and I had a beer with the internet. I hope I dont get a beer belly. Yikes. Why is is to hot!!! Its great! Im loving the heat. Germany is cold...but its also cold in the morning, but not for long. Im heading SOUTH!! Whoohoo.
