Our 'European Vacation' 2006

Phew! Finally made it to Paris after a gargantuan effort packing up our lives in London. We were working 16-18 hour days just trying to sort through all the crap we've accumulated over the past 4 years. But we managed to get the boxes packed and sent o...

The Tortured Compass

The loose ends are almost complete. The dog looks to be well looked after, my house renter should be moving in any day now, quit my job and most supplies are purchased. Now I just have to purchase a plan ticket and find a country to start my adventure ...

 

Let´s play the traveling game.

That's what I like in my cities. Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg blaring through the streets. We decided to take a mini detour to Budapest. It's been muggy and chock full of fun stuff. The day we got here, we discovered that President Bush was following us i...

 

"If I See Another Baroque Church, I'm Going to Scream and Then Puke"

Took a daytrip to Bratislava, Slovakia, with my friends Melissa and Jessica. Saw the local sights, but otherwise not a whole lot to do. Cheap though!...

Dear all, This is day 2 in Macedonia... I think. Everything is all a bit messed up because we came over on an overnight coach will decided to get in about an hour and a half early which meant we were in Ohrid around 3:30am [GMT+1] local time. Luckil...

 

APs European Vacation

Musee D'Orsay: awesome. Sculptures rocked the house. Three in particular reminded me of the superior AP, Diz and me. Hard to explain why. There was also a painting that screamed Rohan. Waves of purple. Cool stuff. Versailles: also pretty awesome. Cr...

Prague

Once again, our travels started off a little rough. We almost missed our plane to Prague, only to find out when we got to the airport that it had been delayed by 3 hours! Other than the slow start, our Prague trip was pretty good. We met up with on...

Europe Summer 2005

My friend Anna and I decided that we needed to get away straight after the exams and so we headed for Europe. The plan was to see as much as possible whilst spending as little money as possible. We didn't get to see everything we would have liked to bu...

 

Amsterdam to Austria

Well, we had a great start in the Czech Republic by being given a fraudulent ticket on the train there from Berlin. I actually ended up having to talk back to the ticket collector - a thing I've never had to do before. We ended up taking our ticket to ...

 

Prague in March

My old roommate from UT and I met in Prague during her Spring Break. We decided to head to Prague b/c we had both never been, and heard how beautiful (and cheap) the city was. I flew Heathrow from London to Prague airport and arrived about 12am. I wa...

 

Budapest, Vienna and Prague - Jan 2007

Next trip looked to be short and sharp, but it was perfect. For the record though, I understand why no one travels around Europe in winter - it was so cold the entire time! Anyway I caught up with Sammy C, his dad Barry and his friend Alita. The fir...

 

Prague - New Year 06/07

Prague for Christmas

With a big crew of kiwis we headed off to Prague for a 5 day xmas break. Highlights were the beer, food, ice hockey and a club called the Roxy....

 

CZECH REPUBLIC

Prague must be one of the most charming major cities in Europe. The landscape and arcitecture reminded me a lot of Austria. The best attraction was the city's fortress which is one of the largest in the world. Of course there is so much to see and do i...

 

Europe trip Oct 2006

Slovakia was my favourite country. I loved the quieter pace after the Prague rush. Bratislava had some beautiful architecture, good food and a Tesco supermarket. Though a little harder to get around, it was more compact and different again from it's mo...

European Getaway

Before arriving in Nice today we stopped off at a French perfumary called Fragonard. We had a tour of the lab, heard about the elusive "Nose", who makes up the purfumes for each factory. Apparently it takes something like 1000kg of flowers ...

Borgin mín. Villtist fyrst hingað vorið 1998, þreyttur, hrakinn og blankur eftir að hafa verið rændur í Flórens, handtekinn í Kosovo og misst af bikarúrslitaleik í Róm. Einhvern veginn s...

 

Central Europe

We departed on Christmas day morning at 6am to get to Heathrow, one of the busiest and largest airports in the world - which we found almost totally deserted. We caught our flight in a very small plane (Airbus757) to Munich and arrived about an hour an...

 

Shanthi's Excellent (British) Adventure

Comrades, commercialism, castles and crystal were on the agenda this month when Priya, Adnan, Rashida & I hit the gorgeous historical city of Prague, or Praha in Czech. A picture might well tell a story of a thousand words, but pictures of Pragu...

 

European Trips - 2004-2006

Before my trip to Barca, I had heard so much about it. About how it one of the best cities in the world to visit, and how beautiful it is etc. So my expectations were very high for my first visit to the place, which is rarely a good thing. But I have ...

Linz / St. Florian. We were guests of the South African Club in Linz. WOW what a great bunch of people. We were treated like royalty. We were met by representatives of the club at our hotel after which we took the short drive to the monastery of St....

 

Chesty Bumluv

Spent the long weekend over New Years in Prague and Cesky Krumlov (renamed Chesty Bumluv by Vicki) with the usual rabble of misfits and alcoholics, numbering 23 in total. Despite the influx of tourists the Czech Republic is still ridiculously cheap. Av...

Europe '05

Oh God, Rome… We went there twice. We were there for a total of about 8 days? Something like that anyway. It was so unbelievably hot that I wanted to kill people. Our cabin (another camping ground) thankfully had air-conditioning otherwise I think...
