Roma Pitstop

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

I am in Rome. A full day of flying, starting with arriving at the airport far too early. I ate a REAL English Muffin with butter and jam, which used to be my favourite thing as a kid. The muffins here are much bigger than the wonderbread variety sold at home.

I haven,t much to say here about Rome yet. I arrived, got on the train, and am now with my cousin. I have yet to find a place to stay, and it is already dark and raining to boot. Tomorrow I will head off in the least rainy direction. I have not yet bought a new sim card for my phone, for those of you wanting to get in touch. Will do so tomorrow.

The hostel search begins…

Flying by the seat of my longjohns

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

Well, I’ve spent the last gruelling two and a half hours in this internet cafe having my heart ripped out by the sappiest songs all about loneliness and love.

 BUT I did manage to make a decision (yay!) and am heading for Italy. A quick stop in Rome to drop off a pile of stuff that I don’t ‘need to carry around with me, and then I’ll be headed south. I plan not to wear my longjohns again. They’ve been on me since I arrived in London.

My unsuspecting cousin will hopefully be able to meet me for a bit tomorrow. This is the first leg of total solo and blind flying travel, heading into the South of Italy, no less. I’m scared in a very excited kind of way. HOpefully internet connections will be easier to find there!

And tonight, one more blesssed night in beautiful London with the loveliest Sam of all time.

And the journey continues…

I would suggest that an internet cafe is not the place to be playing songs like Lean on Me and What Becomes of the Broken Hearted?. I'm bloody well teared up in decidedly unemotional London. Actually, to be fair, I've ... [Continue reading this entry]

The City of Lights Woos Me — with fromage

Wednesday, March 25th, 2009
Another cold day in Paris, but today was full of interesting things, including a GIANT PLATE of CHEESE for dinner! The day began, of course, with a sprained ankle, but after a few anti-inflammatories and the magic of frozen perogies, I ... [Continue reading this entry]

vanity leads to perogies on feet

Paris is the most fashionable place on earth. Before I left on my trip, which aside from this first stop in Paris will be largely backpacking style, I thought I wouldn't want to be shlepping around Paris in my hiking ... [Continue reading this entry]

Ottawa to Paris…

Monday, March 23rd, 2009
I've arrived! In what seems to be a surreal dream, I'm writing this post from a beautiful flat overlooking a gorgeous little Parisian street. After a thankfully uneventful flight from Montreal, I woke up to a very foggy Paris. Thankfully, ... [Continue reading this entry]
