If the Europeans could charge tourist for standing in the shade they would.
So into my third week of my European vacation and GZUS christ Europe is fucking expensive. In Rome right now after leaving Venice and everything is crazy priced. Seems like everytime I go eat I'm dropping 80 Euros. Is soda a luxury? Some places charge you 4 Euros for a can of coke, WTF! A small cup of coffee is 7 Euros. Not only am I getting fucked on the coversion from US to Euros, but man they charge you to even take a piss. If yuo're planning a European vacation make sure you double what ever you were saving for the trip.

On the flip side Europe is beautiful. Skip Venice and make sure to check out the small islands around it, Murano and Burano. Less crowds and the places are beautiful. Rome is amazing, just the history of everything. On my way to Paris in three days.
