Bored.

Today is a gloomy day in Manchester. Its so cold I can see my breath still and that is 3pm in the evening. I guess it is snowing in some areas a little more north than us. I had International Marketing class today and it was soooo hard to get up! My bed was warm and I reset my alarm like fifty times until I got up. I went to class only to find out that he decided not to show up for class that day and didn't tell faculty...quality. This class has been a little frustrating there has been five weeks and only two lectures because this professor has no idea what he is doing!

Anyways I have been working on my paper all day and I thought I would take a break and let you know whats going on this next week in Italy!

Thursday October 30th: Leaving for Milan at 7:30pm and meeting up with Jenny and Danielle. There is absolutely no transport between midnight and 5:30am so we have to sleep in the airport. Jenny was like "Don't worry I found a good place to sleep... it has carpet!"

Friday October 31st: We arrive in Rome at 7:30am. Drop off our stuff at The Yellow Hostel and explore Rome! Our appointment to see the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel is at 2:30pm. In the evening we will go see Trivi Fountain. That night is Halloween so we will probably go out to a bar or something all dressed up. I am going to be a football player and Brianne is going to be a mouse...I don't know about the others.

Saturday November 1st: Wake up at 6am and meet our tour guides in central Rome for our Pompeii and Naples Day Excursion.

Sunday November 2nd: Visit the Colosseum, Pantheon and other classic Roman sites. We leave for Florence this evening by train.

Monday November 3rd: Explore Florence with the girls. See The David in the evening.

Tuesday November 4th: Wake up at 6am to meet our tour guides in central Florence. Get on a bus to go to the Cinque de Terre. This is the 5 Lands and is about 2 hours away from Florence. It is a national park and consists of beach towns right on the cliffs over the water. I am so excited to see it because I heard its incredible! That evening the tour brings us back to Florence and then we head off to Venice by train.

Wednesday November 5th: Explore Venice! We have a four hour walking tour as well...Half by foot and half by boat.

Thursday November 6th: Leave for Milan early in the morning and meet up with Jenny once again. Eat lots of Gelatto and Pizza and go up to the top of the Duomo. We leave at 5pm that evening.

Friday November 7th: Sleep all day maybe some homework.

Saturday November 8th: Leave at 8am for Stonehenge and Bath trip with the International Society.
