Spring Break

So this spring break myself and two other girls decided to go to Italy! Boyah! lol.
I have a class with a girl name Mary, and when she found out I was American (which took about 30 seconds)..... she started talking about the difference between our (american) spring break and the scottish semester break. She told me there was a comedian who did a bit about american parties v scottish parties (empties) She posted it on my facebook, and it was really funny!
So the reason I'm telling you this is because in the comedians clip, he is like "spring break, chad hogan's house" yeah!! lol. So that became our catch phrase for this spring break!!! lol. (except it morphed into chad dugans)

Very funny clip!!!

Well anyways

The three of us decided to go to Italy for our spring break! lol.
We knew that we'd need luggage for the 3 of us to be away for a week, and the airlines over here only allow 1 piece of handluggage. There is no backpack and a purse, you have to have your purse in your backpack. So needless to say, we decided to check a bag.

Our plan was for me to leave a day early and take the baggage to Torino, then Brandon and I would meet Allie and Amanda in Milan, head to Verona, stay in Verona, then do Verona and Venice. Head back to Torino, stay there for 4 days, then head to Rome for 3 days, fly to Edinburgh with a stop in Poland! lol.

So I was off on Friday, with the baggage to Torino. I flew to Milan Malpensa Airport, which I've flown into a few times. I got the luggage, and missed my bus to Torino. I had to wait for an hour and a half for the next bus to Torino! So I sat around and people watched, but all in all, it was not the worst thing that's ever happpened. So I got into Torino, and Brandon met me where the bus dropped off. This time we got to take the METRO to his house, which is a God send. You'll remember if you read my last post about going to Torino, that there was a strike on the bus and metro service. Which was not nearly as big of a deal without luggage. But I had big luggage!!! So we took the metro to Brandon's house and then got some Kabab pizza. That stuff is AMAZING!!!!


The next day Brandon and I did some shopping at an Italian "Whole Foods" type store called "Eataly"!! It was amazing!!!!

Eataly is really cool because it is like a "whole food" on italian steriods!! lol. It has a whole floor for wine!! and special rooms for cheese. So that was very cool.

We finished our shopping went and got Gelato for an afternoon treat!!

We went and dropped off the groceries then got our things together and headed off to Milan. We were going to Milan to meet Allie and Amanda to go to Verona and Venice!! This was also Brandon's first time meeting Allie and Amanda, so it was exciting! So we got our things together and then we were off to Milan to meet Allie and Amanda.

We found the two of them, and then we were off to Verona!!
