I left my friend Patrina in Rome on my way to Venice!!!! However, before I get to that, I decided to make a quick stop en route in Florence. In this instance it was mostly so that I could stop by the famed Uffizi Gallery which I have always wanted...
Rome My trip to Rome didn’t start off on the best note that it could have, but let’s fast forward ahead to where my friend Patrina and I were hosted by a colleague of hers. Fortuitously, the apartment was located in Trastevere, which is actually an excellent part of Rome...
Well here I am again updating this blog. This is likely to be the last round for some time yet, but stay tuned because there are lots of updates coming. I had to be in Europe again for my MSc presentation. To cut the story short that went well and...
