Early Morning Adventures

I mentioned a whirlwind of experiences. Getting lost. My school is in Pollenzo, which is about 5 kilometres away from Bra. There is a bus service that you can use to get to school. There is a country road that you can walk or cycle through to get to school. I decided to walk to school this past Thursday. We (my adventurous flatmate and me) left our apartment in Bra in good time, our aim was to get to school at 8.45 in time for our 9.00 lecture. That was out aim. We did get to school, but not at 8.45, and not refreshed from a morning walk. I’m trying not to admit this but we got lost in the middle of the farms, I don’t know where but we just found ourselves too close to the highway and not in the direction of school. We figured that we would be left to perish in the middle of nowhere if we kept going, so backwards we went, through some farmer’s muddy field (the land was laying fallow for the winter so we didn't destroy and crops). We tried to call a classmate to come to pick us up with her car- that failed since we couldn't give her proper directions. How do you direct someone into unnamed fields anyway? We eventually got back to the canter of Bra and got a taxi to school. With €12.00 less to our names, tired, muddy, possibly smelly we did get to school and luckily only about half an hour into the lecture.  I was able to get a few photos though of the scenic country side.
