Bologna, Pula Croatia, Brussels, and Amsterdam.

We've had a lack of Internet and have been so busy traveling! We have about 10 days left here in Europe and I can't believe how time flies. I didn't get many photos in any of these spots since my phone has been off.
Bologna was beautiful, a real little treasure I would say... We stayed there for awhile and our host was such a nice guy. It was mostly a relaxing time before we headed off to Pula, Croatia for the Outlook festival. I don't have any photos from that since we were camping but John has plenty that I need to nab from him!
After a weekend of raging hard at outlook we headed to Brussels and ate belgian waffles and kebab galore.
Then to Amsterdam which I'm sure you can assume what we did there. It was a really unique experience to be able to buy weed in coffee shops... I really enjoyed the city as well, small but beautiful.

Roma!

Oh Rome. So we somehow ended up in Rome and everything was good. I had a bit of a cold which kept me inside one day but we did some sight seeing and walked around and ate delicious food. It wasn't the same experience for us as we weren't cough surfing! So not as much fun id say.. But either way lovely city with a lot of history. I'd love to have explored other areas and visited the macro museum which we stayed right across from at our hotel, time just restricted us.
Our next stop was to the country side... In the tuscany region!

Valencia

After complications on our way into Spain (traveling through france is a bitch.) we finally made our way into Valencia. We rented a room in the Erasmus flat from Gabriel and we were very lucky to make some great friends.
The only issue we encountered was the sunburns both John and I got. His far worse than mine. But it did keep us away from the beach for a couple days. We ended up meeting a couple from Washington, a couple from Switzerland, two girls from Germany, a girl Marie and her rowdy group of friends from Germany, and a bunch of locals. Our host took Marie, John and I out for the real paella experience. It was delicious though I wasn't crazy about the seafood one... Everyone else loved it! I guess I'm just not a seafood girl. We then went to a beach with an abandoned hotel. And then out for horchata, we chose horchata with ice cream. Serious yum! A week in Valencia flew by but it was a really wonderful experience. Also food was SO inexpensive in Spain, however not of the best quality. Though I did buy bottles of wine for one euro... Which was insane. We met so many people from different areas and it was a great time to share our experiences.
