I have just come across an excellent site www.hostelworld.com. To make our driving/touring easier we have rented a GPS unit. It’s a Magellan Roadmate 700 with unlocked western europe maps. This thing is awesome…it reads out your driving directions, if you turn down a wrong street it auto-reroutes you. AMAZING!!!

Ciao

here we are in Verona, in a VOdafone store trying to get our phone working. The weather has been very beautiful a little hot though…in Milan it was almost 40 degrees. Can I also say what a hit hole Milan is…there is not one square inch of that town that does not have grafitti on it. I had a little falling out with Rachel over lunch. I guess that can happen when you spend 24-7 with someone for 7 days. Our new italian number is 00393498242645

Switzerland was as beautiful as I remember it, clean water, air and very friendly people. Rachel and Phil wanted to stay longer but we had to make our way to italia. I will try to write in here a bit more often.
