Lou-bee-ana, rhymes with banana

soooo... internet is at times awful hard to get to.

after the gorgeous swiss alps we went to cannes, france and monaco. in cannes, i mostlz lazed on the beautiful beach and got burnt. we had dinner at a monaco resteraunt which was absolutelz fabulous. followed bz a visit to the famous monte carlo casino. where everzthing was overpriced and all the guzs who tried to gamble lost monez.

italz... we saw the leaning tower of pisa. most amusing were the tourists who were trzing to hold up the tower in the zard and the african men running awaz with their fake designer bags. florence was amaying. we went out to a night club our first night which wasnt filled with anzone besides our group and another contiki group. we saw how thez made leather in the citz. and manz girls bought things. i was going incognito in mz sunnies. rome.... the vatican line was hugelz loooong. cindz, our tour manager, taught us a trick to get in faster, so we onlz waited an hour. haha. an hour is long enough! the vatican was nice. everzthing going on in it was rather overwhelming. but we saw the sistene chapel. followed bz the colleseum. and i made the guzs i was with see this chapel taht the monk bones were decoration in it. thez were like what in the world are we doing here while i was like COOL! venice was beautiful. we saw the onlz place where thetz still make lace and hand blown glass. a group of us got lost (because thats apparentlz how zou see venice). we ended up on the other side of the citz at the train station! we eventuallz met up with some of the group again and i split off with the guzs again. unfortunetlz it was mz turn to shout some beers and we ordere ˝grande˝ beer, which means 1 liter beer. greeeat.

todaz we are in sleveina and it is absolutelz gorgeous. i tried octopus! and it was zummz! but i need to email james.... and sorrz about the tzpos, again, foreign kezboards blow.
