Back from Italy

I returned from Italy at 6am this morning after having a fabulous trip and a horrible time getting back to Germany. I flew to Bologna and from there took the train north east to the small town where my friend lives. On Thursday I visited Padua and spent Friday walking around Sacile. Saturday my friend and I went out to the country a few kilometers from the coast to meet two friends of his who took us out to lunch and later took us to Aviano, a huge USAF base in the north. The next day we went to Venice and I returned home Monday. Well, actually I should have until my train was delayed 2 hours by a suicide further up the line which caused me to miss my flight and take the train to Milan and then the night train back to Stuttgart where I arrived a little past 6a.m.

All in all, it was a truly fabulous time filled with amazing food, good weather, gorgeous cities and most importantly, quality time with a close friend. Below are a selection of photos from the trip and I’ll have a more in-depth post on Aviano in the next few days.
