We took the night ferry over from Ireland to the north of France. From there we hopped on a train to Paris. Paris was fun and we spent three days there looking at the sites. Again, I had to work part time so I didn’t get to see as much as others. Still, it was a blast seeing all the sites and eating out. For the most part, French folks in Paris are not rude. I found them helpful and friendly.
After Paris, we took the night train to Genoa, Italy. That was an interesting experience. I have never tried to sleep on the train before. It was a jolt. I didn’t sleep well but it was interesting. From Genoa we took the train to Cinque Terra and spent three days there. That place is interesting but really full of tourists. As a result some of the people were rude, some were nice. It’s what you expect in a high-tourist area. It was very beautiful and it was fun watching the sun set into the Mediterranean sea from the bluffs.
From Cinque Terra we went to Rome and spent 3 days there looking at the ruins in the center of the city. I probably had the most fun of my trip here. We stayed at a bed and breakfast right in town and were able to hop a short bus to see the Vatican City and all the sites.
The last day of our trip we lied to Jacob and told him we were going to a geology museum in Paris for 10 hours. He was not happy with that but when we arrived he realized it was Disneyland Paris and changed his tune.
