Simon & Amelia's European Adventures

Good Evening All, I am writing our first real blog entry sitting in a little marble walled room in Rome. I thought I had better let you know of the adventures we have had so far. The bus trip up from Sydney and our overnight stay was uneventful, apart from losing our lunch down the bus aisle when both our apples went for a roll! We got on the plane on time, settled in and enjoyed our flight into Seoul, where we were greeted by our first suprise. Our overnight accommodation in Seoul, courtesy of Korean Air, didnt show up on the system. Unfortunately the muppet from Flight centre forgot o book us in, so we were on our own. After muttering some unpleasent English phrases, we decided to head into Seoul and try our luck there. All capital cities have an abundance of accommodation options, but my suggestion of getting off a couple of stops early proved not to be the best {in distance terms, we got off in Yass when we should of got off in Canberra}. After a good hour we found a quaint little joint that cost us 40,000 won for the night {about $40 Aus}. Apart from having no hot water, it was a great little joint. We dared to try some Korean food, which I still dont actually know what we ate. It did include raw beef and an open grill and heaps of spicy cabbagge, which was great for the 12 hour flight! The flight to Rome was good and we jumped on the train when the ATM eventually decided to work, Suprisingly, Rome appears to be a very dirty city and their airport was terrible {so much for Armani style}. We have a couple of photos but cant put them up at this stage as the computer is a bit old.

I have decided to have a regular feature in the blog called "Pomerys Rant of the Day". The first rant in the series is dedicated to those wankers who see fit to have their seat down for the entire 12 hour flight. This in itself shits me to tears, but when these particular individuals have a go at me for bumping their chair, I lose the plot a little. Next time I wont keep pulling travel pillows out from under their head and hidding them under my seat, but I enjoyed that activity today !
