After the first overnight train of the trip, we arrived in Venice at 5am (errrrr!), and had to entertain ourselves until 9pm that night awaiting another overnight train to Slovenia. So we went for a mooch around the town and headed towards Rialto bridge. Ash thought Venice was really cool and Dean enjoyed it too :D After the bridge we went to San Marco square but much to our disappointment a lot of it was under construction so we couldnt enjoy it as much as we wanted :( We also got on a waterbus to Lido which is an island off Venice and we had lots of icecream and pizza and then went to the beach.
The next overnight train was very stressful, especially for Ash as there were 6 people in one very small cabin, plus a mixture of a headache, fat ankles and not being able to reach the top bunk just about topped it ! But it was ok as we got off and arrived in Slovenia at 2am, it couldnt have got worse when the hostels we planned to go to were full :( but then strangely a guy pulled up in his car and said he will take us to his hostel which was v.scary and we ran into one of the hostels that was full. But it turns out he was alright and he took us to the hostel he runs and it was probs the best one we stayed in :D. We did quite a lot in Slovenia we never thought we could, such as swim in Lake Bled which was beautiful and cured Ash´s swollen ankles (yaaaaay!) Ash also sent a postcard to her mum, dad and emma and hopes they get there soon ! We finished the day by going to a really nice bar/restaurant around the corner from the hostel where Dean and Ash had the best pizza ever and some sangria :) The day after this we mooched around the town awaiting an overnight train to Austria later that evening.
The train to Austria wasnt very cool as we had seats instead of beds and as there were five of us in there, we couldnt pull the seats down and it was rubbish !! Ash and Dean thought it wasnt really worth going to Austria as it was just full of old buildings we were too tired to look at and we didnt really have anywhere to go as we were leaving that night for switzerland so we didnt have a hostel to sleep at :( we did go and see the Freud museum and had chinese food which was good :D
next up when we have more time on the internet is Switzerland, Berlin and the final destination ... Sweden plus more pics when a USB port is found :D xx
