IKEA Adventure!

Last night we went out dancing and had a blast and came home at 3:00am and passed out. I woke up at 2:00pm and was disgusted with myself. I have never slept so late in my life. The shutters in my rooms make the room pitch black so if I do wake up it still seems like it is the middle of the night. Once my roomates and I all got dressed and ready we decided to make a trip to IKEA to get some things for the apartment that we needed. We had heard there was a free shuttle to the store near the train station. For some reason we didnt ask for directions and walked for ever. Our feet hurt and we were all starving. We got some food and then found a McDonalds...I never go to McDonalds but for some reason I instantly wanted fries...When we finally got to the bus station we couldn't find the IKEA bus anywhere. We got on a public transportation bus payed 2 euros and got dropped off near IKEA.....we knew that this wasnt right but finally we had made it. I had never been to an IKEA before and was quite overwhelmed by its size, options and lack of english (b/c I am in fact in Italy) Once we got some bowls, tupperware, new sheats it was 8:00pm we didn't know how we were going to get back so this time we asked and a man pointed us to a spot where the infamous shuttle is supposed to come. We waited for a while and a coach bus with Ikea all over it showed up and dropped us off right where we started. On the bus we looked at the map and realized we walked so far out of the way it was insane. Luckily if i ever go again I know how to get there. Everyone is so tired from our IKEA adventure that we are going to stay in an watch movies. I plan on setting my alarm so I don't sleep so late in the morning.
