VIA Pizzas, Piazza, and Pisa...

More or less. No wonder they all gave me blank looks whenever I said VIA as we do it around the world. They pronounce it the Italian way. In Rome, actually do and fuck up everything like the Romans do.
Also, all Roads do not lead to Rome. They can actually take you out of town and leave you somewhere there will be no way to get back on track. Had all my issued sorted out. Contacts outside India from India pwn more than elsewhere. Anyhow, trip expenditure is a bomb, especially with a new train pass.
Hit Pisa today. Beautiful, the Piazza (square) in Pisa which contains the Leaning Tower is perhaps the most beautiful hang out outdoor place in the world. The funny part is everyone takes the bus from the station and same way back. Idiots. Its a walk straight down. But cannot afford to get lost on that track as even the locals do not know where the railway station is. Triene A Mi nostra...ohh whatevere...!!
Now, Rome is beautiful. I got sick of it because of 6 days there buts its magnificent. I got irritated with some of the overhyped places and people were around a little too much. Atleast I hadnt lost something on these days.
Venice was sick. Though the San Marco area more than made up for a unhappy mood. But nothing really could. Thats one day I will someday write a story about.
This trip is becoming a bigger adventure than I ever thought, Though Iv paid more money for stuff I havent done than otherwise planned.
