Venice, Villach, Salzburg and Munich

I have a big feeling this may be a pretty long post, so in advance i apologize.

As in my previous post i said i was going away for 5 days with the school to Italy, Austria and Germany. It was absolutely amazing.

first Day: Sunday
Didn't get any sleep, as i had to leave at 1am hehehe. But i got to the school, and on the bus and we drove up to the airport, checked in etc. Someones case was over by 15kgs.... idiot. and then off to get food which had really bad coffee, so i rang James (Bearing in mind its like 4am at this point) and proceeded to give out about the coffee.
So the flight overall was ok. Got onto the bus and drove to Venice we got on a water taxi over to Venice and had like 5 hours shopping it was great had some excellent food. then back on the water taxi to the bus to the hotel it look like 2 hours, and we were all wrecked so nothing really happened the first day. Oh the room and the shower was really really nice, and the view was amazing.

Monday, Day 2
Oh in day 1 i forgot to mension the food was awful. >_<
So we got up for breakfast, now bearing in mind it's Paddy's day on Monday, so i had bought this t-shirt that said "Everybody loves an Irish girl" Specifically for this occasion. Now when i woke up and got changed, TWO of my friends had the EXACT same t-shirt... but it was ok, we all just wore it anyway as it looked funny. We went down for breakfast and all the teachers were pointing and whispering, until one finally said "Nice t-shirts girls."
So onto the bus and it was really hot outside that day, but on the bus the air conditioning was on. (Hearts Miguel, Our bus driver) and off to the boat we went. Boat was really really nice we were on the top and it was really sunny and nice. Had a tour around Venice, that was good. then got food and back onto the boat. So we get back from the boat and onto the bus to drive to Villach in Austria.
It took nearly 5 hours to get there and i was tired and felt dirty, So we had food, and got our room, at first we thought it a mistake as our room was HUGE the size of Jules and My room was the size of there room that held 4. It was massive There was a bathroom, a living room a balcony and a hallway it was excellent:) then we went to do a table quiz with our connecting school. some of them were really nice others were assholes. There was a disco after and i was like, yeah no. So i went back to the room to get a shower. So up i go to the room, and get in the shower etc, i get out, and there is literally 2 inches of water on the floor. i had flooded the bathroom. So i am panicking at this point and i start to txt Jules and its all panicky and aall of a sudden there is a knock at the door. Now bearing in mind i am still in a towel, i answer the door, and it's my friends from the year below me. I tell them what happened and they laughed at me, i was like agh you're not helping. So Nikita, gets down on her hands and knees (In the water) to look for a drain, yeah there wasn't one. So i decide i had been in a towel long enough and i get changed. Come back and half of the people are in our room. So i chase them all out and go back to trying to unflood the bathroom after like 20minutes i gave up. and just left it. The teachers came to look at out room and (Jules and the rest are back at this point) and tell them what i had done. I was like oh shit they're gona make me pay damage fees. yeah The Teachers were like, don't worrys its happened to all of us you'll be ok. So the teachers stayed for like an HOUR and we all talked, then they left jules and i went to bed but ended up talking till like 2am.
So that was the 2nd day

Tuesday, Day 3
So we woke up got changed, the bathroom was bone dry, no water in sight ¬_¬ And me panicking and all>_< We were going up a mountain to go tobogganing and we had to wear warm clothes and what not. We all messed around in the room taking pictures calling "Where's George?" at the top of out lungs.... ¬_¬ That refers to when we were on the bus coming over, they saw George Clooney in a magazine and he was in Italy, so when we were in Venice they would Scream "George?" at the top of their lungs.... Yeah it didn't make much sense to me either.
We packed our bags and said goodbye to our room and left for breakfast. Again Shit coffee. We all piled onto the bus and drove for about 10 minutes to the foot of this mountain to get the Snow lift to the top of the mountain. Now the lift was ok, usually i hate things suspended in mid air but i liked it, i think i am no longer traumatized by those verniculars and other such things we went on in italy, i can stand to be around them. we get up there and we have to take yet another chair lift even further up. I was REALLY nervous, i have seen "You've Been Framed" the amount of people falling off of these and being hit by them in the head by them as they go past. BUT i was fine it was quite nice actually. I found out when we got to the top that someone had dropped their camera and another had dropped their handbag. Sucks to be them, but what they were doing with the handbag up a mountain in the first place is beyond me. Douchebag.
We all got out taboggins, it was 2 to a taboggin, and i had to be with a 3rd year cause Jules and everyone had choose each other ¬_¬ So we had fun anyway at the top of the mountain, i fell off at the top once, but it wasn't painful, someone went STRAIGHT into a tree and got stuck, dammit i wish i had a photo it was hilarious.
After that, we went down the mountain, on this path, it was excellent, we were pretty good, meaning the 3rd year and i, we could steer etc. then we got to the bottom of this slope thing, got off, met up with everyone else, and when we were all there, we were told we had to walk back up the mountain, at first i thought oh their kidding, yeah they were deadly serious, it took us 2 HOURS to get back up. and we had to pull taboggins with us. So when we finally reached the top we went into this lodge and got a hot chocolate. it was good. It had snowed alot since we had gone down. So back down on the lift we went, to the bottom. So at this point we're all cold and wet. We all got changed on the bus, yeah that was...an experience, elbows and heads banging, and someones missing knickers... someone must have gone around with no knickers for the day, nice huh?
So then into Villach we weren't their for long, we got food, and went to this supermarket and bought food for later, and then to out links school School. IT was really really nice, very American, i wish ours was like it ¬_¬ Ours is a shit hole.
Then back to the bus and on to Salzburg. We got to Salzburg at maybe 10, got food, it wasn't that bad, for hostel food, then to our room. 8 to a room and in bunks. I was on a bottom bunk.
Oh and i shower everyday, the showers here were all together, i was SO glad i brought my bathing suit, thats all i can say. The pressure was crap in the one i was in that evening, it nearly removed my top layer of skin... fucker.


Wednesday, Day 4
So up we got for breakfast, and what not. We were having the Sound Of Music tour. It was amazing. I would recommend going to Salzburg, its really pretty. I loved it. Then after it, everyone but Nikita, Bronagh, Emma and I went on a horse and carriage ride. I do not like these as they scare me slightly and plus i was hungry and did not feel like being on a carriage in the cold much longer. I have ONE exception to horses and that's in New York, that is the only time i have been or will go on a horse and carriage thingy. But that's neither here nor there. So we went off to get food, in a Italian restaurant, heh. The food was good. We then went shopping and in stalls, we got some ice cream, and my eyesight amazing as it is, spotted a Marilyn poster... yeah it was a Marilyn Monroe Exhibition. I am soo good at finding Marilyn things ^_^ Overall Salzburg was pretty good, we went around Mozarts house, where he was born that is. It was ok, but i was suffering with headaches, and dizziness at the time so i cant remember much about it. Just before we went in actually, i got shit on by a bird, possibly that creepy fucker from Venice, i think it followed me.... :/
We then walked back to the hostel. We hung around a while, got some food, well, Jules and i refused to eat it, we went and had oreos and pepsi twist, in the room, it was a good dinner. After that Off to the bowling alley it was, where we got annoyed with people on the bus there, but i am not putting down what happened cause it's silly. The bowling was so much fun, we got some proper food there. and many laughing and strikes and yeah it was fun ^_^ it had started to snow at this point and it was really pretty, when i got back on the bus, there was a really horrible comment that was said to me, this put me in a very quiet and foul mood. When we got back up to the room Nikita and Bronagh and Emma came to our room and we all hung out for a bit, it was fun, especially when they thought the teachers were coming and hid in the wardrobes, hehehe.
I think we finally went to bed at 2-3.

Day 5, Final day, Thursday.
So it was sad packing up and getting ready to leave. It had snowed pretty heavy night but we all piled onto the busA and waved goodbye to Austria and Salzburg, "So long, Fairwell,Auf Wiedersehen, Goodnight, i hate to go and leave this pretty sight"
Etc Etc.
It took 2-3 hours to get to Munich. Miguel dropped us off and to shopping we went. we got €20 back for food. I was really pissed of though, as we went into SIX H&Ms, and a load of shops WE HAVE IN MONAGHAN. you got to Munich to go to places you don't have at home. i bought, myself a jacket and then i got my mom a Wonder Woman T-shirt. thats all i bought, and it was in a German shop. We had food and then went back to meet everyone. It was snowing REALLY heavy at this point. We waited for Miguel to come and then finally got onto the bus and drove to the airport. We said our goodbyes to Miguel, and presented him with a parting gift, and went inside the airport. Got out tickets and went through. We watched the snow fall heavily and wondered if it would still be ok to take off. I sat down on a table thing next to the seats, and Claire fell asleep on my shoulder. and i was just falling asleep when we had to board. We boarded got settled and proceeded to the runway, we were delayed by a few minutes as they had to clean the ice and snow off the wings. We had a bit of turbulence, and the landing was a bit rough, but if it had of been with ryan air we would have probably tipped up ¬_¬ So Air Lingus FTW!
I got back to Monaghan about 11-12 and got home had a cup of tea and opened my package from Denise. Which was AWESOME btw, i got 3 books to finich my wrinkle in time quintet, and a NEUROSONIC T-shirt!!! which was got from the concert. I went online to thank D, when she said did you check inside the books, i was like huh? Inside was a neurosonic sticker AND a SIGNED picture of the band!!!!!!! *Dies of happiness.*


So that was my last week
