<var> heh
<johanson> anyone here been to italy or spain?
<Mordecai> I've been to Rome
<Mordecai> only for a short trip though
<Mordecai> know a couple folks that have lived in spain for some time
<finn_23> I drove through italy from north to south this year
<Mordecai> finn_23: how was that?
<finn_23> exhausting 3 day trip
<finn_23> but worth it
<finn_23> stayed in venice for one day and in sicily for 5 or 6 days
<johanson> Cool, where would you recommend I go in italy? I want to go to cortina and climb via ferrata, but it would be nice to visit another part of italy too.
<finn_23> I really liked both venice and sicily
<johanson> Venice aye
<finn_23> can't say much about the inbetween part ;o
<johanson> thats on the way to cortina!
<Mordecai> Rome is full of awesome shit, but it's a fucking mint to stay/eat/drink/do fuck all
<johanson> ahh right. Yeah I have a bit of a low budget. 3000 for 2 people for 2 weeks.
<johanson> Where did you go in venice?
<finn_23> I stayed at a friend's place
<finn_23> between st. marco and rialto bridge
<finn_23> gf and myself
<johanson> cool
<johanson> Well I reckon I'll spend some time in Venice and Cortina then
<finn_23> if you want me to, I'd ask what he usually charges for the night
<finn_23> might be cheaper than a hotel
<johanson> Oh, he provides accomodation for everyone? Yeah that'd be sweet, thanks. Hotels are always a bit lifeless
