Trip to Rome, June 1st, 2005:
Few things I've been waiting for on this trip. So we missed the flight to Rome due to German incompetence. However, we changed it to Milan which meant 3 hours of drinking German beer before we buy scotch (Glenfiddich) for the plane ride over. That result in my Cuz and I being loud and sharing deep secrets (girls).
Arrive in Milan to take a bus to Rome (where my cousin cockblocks me whilst I try to talk about books with the girl next to me). We're at the Milan train station where the only tickets available are for 8 hours from now. Due to the alcohol in my system, I make a deal with the gatekeeper that if I wander around Milan before he's off duty, then he'll let me back in. Everyone else sleeps, and I get to see Milan, Italy in all its glory at 3am in the morning BY MYSELF. Calming and insightful.
