Where have we been!



Hello,
Where have we been for the last week! Well....we managed to get to the 20,000 km mark on our car and had to have a service check in Barcelona. We didn't get there until in the afternoon on Friday and couldn't get an appointment until Monday so we put our feet up for a few days. We found a super cheap (6 euro/night) hostel and it was nice! Picture below is of our little cubby hole that we shared with 6 other people. The glamour of hostel living! Only one guy snored a lot, not too bad! We also met some great people from Australia and New Zealand that made our stay very enjoyable. We were going to leave on Tuesday morning but our computer completely died and the N.Z. guy, who is a IT for a living, spent a day and a half trying to fix it. We had to then stay another day. He was able to save all our stuff on it but the hard drive is gone. At least we have the Mike's old computer that Jen brought at Christmas time. So we are now in Milan for 2 nights and are then going to a place we have rented in Cinque Terra. We tried to see "The Last Supper" but it's booked until Tuesday! Apparently in high season you have to book 3 months in advance. The girls wanted to see it because they found a copy of the Da Vinci Code in one of the places we stayed and thought it would be cool to see it. Oh well. Jane
