My Trip in Eastern Europe

well people, i departed Salzburg at 1:38am on a night train 2 days ago on my way to Venice. My ticket wasn't a bed seat it was another chair seat because there weren't anymore beds on the train so i had no choice, but, when i found my cabin, i saw that you could lay out the chairs and make it like one big bed. Now there are 6 seats in one cabin, so technicaly 6 people could sleep in one cabin. Well i found 3 lovely young italian guys in my cabin sleeping soundly. The train had previously come from Vienna so they had been asleep for 3 hours already. They were all spread about, cozy, warm and comfortable. Then i had to wake them up so i could kind of put my backpack away and climb into bed with them which was going to be quite interesting. They all sat up kind of upset cause i guess they thought they couldn't sleep anymore cause now i was there. i told them not to worry, go back to sleep i will sleep in the other direction. well after an hour and a half i was really uncomfortable and these guys were SOUND asleep cause they were sleeping completely streched out and i wasn't cause i was trying to sleep in a fetal position between the feet of 2 of them. Well after a while of being very uncomfortable and longing to sleep and stretch myelf out, i kind of squirmed my way in between Luigi and Vincenzo (i just gave them any name) i wiggled myself slowly in between both of them trying not to wake them up, which i did. I apologized and Luigi said no its okay don't worry, so i got my little twin star pillow and slept all cozy in between luigi and vincenzo. I was laughing so much to myself because i was thinking if the people i knew could see me now sleeping with these 3 very cute and young italian guys, it was like a once in a lifetime oportunity!!! sometimes life gives you little blessings you just have to accept and not complain. 5 hours later, some man comes in to check our tickets, when we woke up i realized i was cuddled up against luigi like he was a stuffed animal and holding vincezo arm!!!!!! i was like oh i am so sorry, they weren't really bothered and were quite tired themselves and were quite relieved they didn't have to sleep with a 65 year old stinky man with a beard. After they checked our tickets, we cuddled up again to sleep the remaining 2 hours left of the train ride. When we arrived at Venice We said goodbye and good luck and we went our seperate ways. I found my hostal and checked in. I met my new roomate who was a guy named richard from London. we decided to go and have lunch together at the restaurant downstairs that was absolutely fantastic and cheap. Then we went to The city center and walked all through venice. Venice is something everyone has to see, but not in August at 3 in the afternoon. lots of tourists and it was hot, ( i was happy about the weather, it was the first time on my trip i had seen the sun!) but venice is fantastic, beautiful, wish you were here! Well we reached the main plaza, San Marcos, and there i discovered the wonderful world of feeding pigeons. The plaza is known for an exhorbant amount of pigeons and people feeding them, they eat out of your hand and fly all over you, so i quickly bought i bag of pigeon food for a euro. Before i even opened the bag some pigeon flew over to me and was hovering in front of me like a hummingbird waiting for me to open the bag, he got so impatient, he grabbed the bag with his little pigeon claws to take it away, i was like "hey man chill out, give me a minute" well i opened the bag and there was a SWARM of pigeons that came at me, flapping their wings and eating out of my hands and wherever the seeds went flying to. i was laughing soooooooooo hard and my new friend richard took some pictures of me with the pigeons. i kept feeding them and laughing cause there were like 10 pigeons sitting on me, oh it was so much fun. i could have done that all day. then we walked around the plaza, went to the top of the tower to see the view of the city and then walked around venice some more. we stopped and had a beer and talked for a while, then tried to find our way back to the train station. Venice is like a labyrinth, if you don't have a map, you're lost! it was so beautiful, everything people said about how dirty it was didn't seem true to me, it was like an ordinary city clean wise, but i thought it was fantastic. well we made our way back to the hostal, i took a nap then we went downstairs to eat again. i had 2 plates of fantastic pasta this time, it was so good i asked for the recipe and the cook gave it to me, it's a very easy recipe, i cant' wait to try it at home. Then after dinner we went back up to our room and had a beer on the balcony where we met our new roomate Jennifer from Seattle, then we met another girl from England and we chatted for about and hour then we all went to bed. Today i fly from Venice back Girona, Spain where i will be spending one night, i will write from there. Besos, Ciao!
