Europe, baby!

We’re sorry for the delay in updates, but it has been a crazy week in Madrid and Barcelona! People there really know how to party, and the hostel we stayed at in Barcelona was amazing too. So many people, so many great people. If you’re ever going to Barcelona, Kabul is the place to stay! Don’t expect a lot of sleep though, but that’s really not what the rest of Barcelona is about either

Originally we were heading for Marseille after Barcelona, but due to incredibly difficult information desk workers at the train station, we only got to Montpellier last night and decided to stay here in stead. It is a lovely city and we’ve spent the day walking around a little and finally having our first crêpe (sp?) on this trip We’ve also spent a major part of the day making plans for the rest of our trip, and it seems we won’t have as much time in Italy as we wanted too. Partly because of our “plan as we go”-attitude, but also the fact that the only cheep plane tickets we found were on the 28th. So we have one week left and are going to spend them visiting Venice and Rome We’re sure it’ll be a great end of our trip though and we’re also meeting up with some people we met in Barcelona, in Rome, and think we’ll have a good couple of days there before heading home.

Tomorrow we’re getting on the train for the rather long trip to Milano, which will only be a short stop for sleeping, before continuing to Venice. There are plenty of places we would love to see in Italy, but it has become evident that a 22-day travel pass is far from enough to get through everything we want. The trip so far has been a great experience and another Interrail at a later time is not unthinkable

Aleksander has caught a small fever and has not been feeling too good the last two days, but hopefully he’ll be back in shape tomorrow. Jaran has been through a couple of days feeling shabby as well, and it’s probably an important part of travelling the way we do

The picture uploading facilities in the Internet cafés we find are poor, so again there won’t be any photos at this time. But you’ll see them all when we get home

We’ll try to give another update before we head home, but if we don’t; see you home on the 28th!
