north italian round-trip. yes, finally we went through north italy. although we do not plan our trip, we've got to both sides, eastern and western, of the mediterranean (ligurian and adriatic). both are great for recreation (i would say that the western side is a bit cleaner). we took a great nightswimming on a sanded beach, near Pisa. San Marino was another gem of our trip. beeing a duty free zone, i spent some money on dvd (spider of d.cronenberg) and i would spent some more if no financial problems arise. this italian guys have a closer assortment to my taste than the germans had in hamburg. we spent the last night buming in the streets of Milan. the cathedral was amazing although it's main facade is under renovation at the moment. the way back, through Venice took 24 hours and it goes without saying, it was really tiresome. (some of the journey highlights can be found here) now it's 3:30 pm. budapest time. i took my third cappuccino and i feel pretty fucked up. need some sleep... a lot would be better! and no more italian food (for a while).
