5 cities and 3 countries in 1 day = 2 tired girlsAfter 2 days in Zurich, we were ready to get out of the cold and jet off to Italy. Being cheap grad students (or unemployed in my case), we decided to go for RyanAir's ridiculous $80 round-trip flight from Friedrichshafen, Germany to Pisa, Italy. Of course, that meant getting to Friedrichshafen, which is 2 hr from Zurich by train + boat ferry. Our flight wasn't until 5 pm, so we decided to stop off in St. Gallen to check out the cathedral and abbey library. The library is one of the world's oldest libraries and features books from as far back as 800 A. D. (No pictures were allowed inside, though).

No fireworks
P looking sleepy in the cathedralAfter a couple hours in the rococo paradise that is St. Gallen, we hopped back on the train to Romanshorn, Switzerland, where we caugh the ferry across foggy Lake Constance to Friedrichshafen, Germany. At the airport in Germany, we learned (1) how terrible an airline can get when it offers you tickets for 5 euro + tax, and (2) how hard it is to make a phone call in Europe without a calling card.
