Then we took a night train to Milan and spent the next day there. We saw the original Last Supper, it was incredible. That night we flew into Athens. It is one of the biggest cities I have ever been in! It took an hour to get from the airport to the city center. The next day we went to the Acropolis and saw all the major ruin sites in Athens. Then we decided to have lunch on Mars Hill, next to the Acropolis so we still had a panoramic view of the city. And guess who else was there?? Sarah and Mark! and the other couple they travel with, Jordan and Austin. It was awesome! We all had lunch together and then met up again at the Greek sandal shop. The next day we took a ferry to Aegina island and it was the perfect day for it. We took a bus to the most famous beach on the island and had it all to ourselves! Traci and I swam again and the water was even better! We spent the day on the beach and then rest of the time shopping in Athens. It was the most relaxing trip. I really want to go back to Greece, I feel like I could have been there a year and not seen everything there. It just means I have to go back though:) Someday...

Second Ten Day!!
This time around I went with my friends Tiffany and Traci to ten places in ten days. We started in Vienna and flew to Naples. I didn't really know what to expect, but I had high hopes. When we got off the bus into the city center there was a torrential down pour, I am not exaggerating. We didn't have any water proof clothing either. The rain was falling hard, and then the thunder and lightning started. Naples apparently isn't the safest city either, and our hostel was in the dangerous part of town. We got temporarily lost but then finally found the hostel. There was garbage everywhere! The garbage men were on strike so there was weeks of garbage on the streets. That night we went to the store and some little punk italian kid came up and hit Traci on the head, for no reason! We were all discouraged and soaked, not liking Naples. However, that night we met Gycela from Columbia and Fiona from Australia. After that everything went great! All five of us went to the ancient ruins of Pompei, the island of Capri, then we took an Italian coastal tour and saw Amalfi, Positano and Sorrento. I swam in the Mediterranean with Traci, it was awesome. 
Then we took a night train to Milan and spent the next day there. We saw the original Last Supper, it was incredible. That night we flew into Athens. It is one of the biggest cities I have ever been in! It took an hour to get from the airport to the city center. The next day we went to the Acropolis and saw all the major ruin sites in Athens.
