Rome,Germany,Chicago in 24 hours!

GELATO!

Ich haba dem blishtift.


We woke up this morning to the best sleep we had gotten in the trailer park. After the night before of "fun", Janelle and Joel were quite spent haha. But we enjoyed "sleeping in" for our last day until 930 or so (: We were finally ready to get out of our camping hostel. So we left our luggage at the hostel and went into town for our last Roman adventure! We tried to find out how to get to the airport from a rude lady at the information stand who kept cutting Janelle off when she would ask questions. But she gave us some poor information on how to get there and then we were off back to our hostel. After spending the day in Rome, we went back and got our luggage from the hostel and began our journey to the airport. The way that the lady told us was much cheaper than any other way, but also quite confusing. We decided to go with it anyways. So, we took her route and got confused on where to go but finally got to the bus stop where we were supposed to be. We then waited for 30 minutes and the bus finally came! Joel was trying to rush on before the doors shut and in the process broke the handle of his suitcase. Janelle thought it was hilarious while Joel was angry and frusturated (no surprises on either reaction). Not only did this happen, but then the bus ended up going the opposite direction of what we wanted! We took the bus that the lady told us and it took us NOwhere! So, we had to get out and take the MOST expensive way-a taxi. In a way though, it was a nice relief from the stress and it got us to the airport nice and early. We enjoyed that a lot. We checked into our flight and then it took off late (no surprises there! :)) So then we were in Germany. From the airport we were able to hop on the train and receive some help from a nice man who spoke English and told us where to get off. It was great! So then Janelle and Joel got off the train and there was their hostel about 50 meters away! So we checked in and put our stuff down to go explore the town. It is pretty dead, considering its 2AM but we still enjoyed it. Janelle even led us down the red light district. It was quite enjoyable. All of the prostitutes were out to get Joel though and he was frightened by them. One of them tried to get him and Janelle said "He is my brother!" The lady then replied "If he is your brother, den give 'im to me!" It was scarier than anything possible. Now we are chilling in the hostel and have to get up in four hours for our flight back home. We should be arriving in Chicago around 11AM, and therefore home around 2PM. Hope to see everyone soon!
