The Last 4 Days in a Very Quick Nutshell

On the ferry ride across the Adriatic to Italy, we met a very interesting character. He claimed he started cooking when he was 14. He also has owned special effects studios all over the world. Anyways, during his time working for 'the richest man in Italy' he learned that men with Italian heritage are only interested in claiming as many 'trophies' as they can. That was his way of warning me not to trust Italian men. Hmmmmm... ;). That was an amusing conversation. Venice was amazing. Ive been there before, and really, you only need to be there a day. However, the food is the most amazing on the planet. We took a train through the Alps yo Zurich. BEAUTIFUL!! However, paid $150 for a room with bunkbeds and a shared toilet. Apparently Switzerland is very expensive - and boring. I had some good fondue though. Made it to Germany. Munich had beautiful weather all day. I sat in a church for an hour killing time. (Having inappropriate thoughts for a church because of those damn 50 Shades books). Then I went on a Third Reich tour. It was very interesting. Did you know that the Haufbrau Haus in Munich is where Hitler launched the Nazi Party? I stood in the same room. It was eerie. Went to the second largest beer garden in Munich. It seats 5,000 people - mostly outdoors. It rained the entire time - figures! Met some locals and learned the appropriate cheers and had some schnapps. After a long night of partying in Dublin, I am now enjoying wine in Galway where they just finished a yacht race. Busiest weekend of the year. We stopped at Tara's House Bed and Breakfast for a room. No luck, but she was very nice and hooked us up with another B&B. It's our first time at a bed and breakfast - perfect place for spooning. Just kidding. By the way, driving on the right side of a car is a piece of cake. (As long as you don't have to go through a roundabout - but those are everywhere!)
