Paris 2005

1. Forget the Arc de Triomphe... or at least, go to the Grande Arche first! The sheer scale of the building will blow you away. There's a fantastic view from the square below the giant Arche in a straight line down to the smaller Napoleonic arch. The w...

 

The Big Oh-Eee

I drank more Guinness than I have ever even SEEN in my life, but it would be rude to go to Dublin and not have one! Plus it was the cheapest drink in every pub which is the main reason we kept drinking it rather than switching to something else! ...

 

Europe Gap Year 2005-2006

Have really enjoyed our time in London. Still feel like we're on holiday even though we have to work. London Weather: Not that bad! Even winter was bearable and the summer days are long and (mostly) sunny. Maybe we struck a good year? Londo...

 

Our Big Around the World Adventure

We arrived in San Pedro de Atacama after 3 days touring through the Bolivian salt flats and deserts, rather the worse for wear and very grubby! Thrilled to be in a place that was a bit more upmarket and tourist friendly, we treated ourselves to our mos...

 

Paris

Paris was amazing, what can i say. So much to see and do that 5 days was clearly not enough time! We took the Eurostar there which in itself was cool, however i did fall asleep for most of it...typical. Didnt take us long before we were out of out p...

 

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 ...

 

Paris - France

The mission was simple. See the Eiffel Tower! My first whirlwind tour of Paris with Jenn and Sarah had that one thing lacking so I wanted to make sure that this trip I got to see Paris' most famous icon. For the second time I found myself on the 5....

Paris 2002

When Calan comes over to stay with us, we decide it is time to give Paris a second chance. This time, I force myself to blurt out high-school French, and we have a fantastic time trying to navigate French menus and strolling around the streets at a con...

 

Gay Paree

Greg and I had a lovely and romantic weekend in Paris. We saw so much and we were lucky enough to be there for Bastille Day. We also ate an incredible amount of food, and the coffee there is so good! Why can't London do coffee?? We also spent some q...

Japan Zomer 2007

Na het opstaan, het eten van rijstbollen en het drinken van miso soep zijn we meteen naar het station vertrokken. We zijn snel even 2 plaatsen voor de shinkansen die ons morgen naar Osaka zal brengen gaan reserveren. Vervolgens namen we de trein naar M...

What Sound Does A Horse Make When It Hits A Train??

Well we are currently on the train from Zurich to Innsbruck. Beautiful scenery. We are now in an compartment train with two other girls who can't be any more than 16 and are smoking. That is one thing I don't think I will be able to get used to. Almost...

Studying in London, Spring 06

Bare with me, this will be a long one... WOW! Norway was pretty ridiculous. Hey! Did you know that Oslo is one of the most expensive cities in the world?!... Day 1: Denysha and I get in Oslo Torp Airport very late because our plane ran late. On the...

 

Paris May06

I'm almost disappointed with myself for liking this city so much. Let's get this clear: I do not want to be amelie. Yet I couldn't deny there's something of an atmosphere about Paris. I even like the metro. Dammit. I was getting about 4 hours sleep a n...

 

SUMMER 2005

First stop was London. Great city to be in but just a little creepy at night if you are not used to it (was targeted for a mugging). Not the same as toronto where I've gotten used to the streets being safe at night but I would definitely go back and vi...

 

Weekend in Paris

Paris has to be one of the most amazing cities in the world. Despite a quarter to four wake up call to get to the eurostar on time my first day was beyond all expectations. Despite the time of day waterloo was surprisingly busy with the hum of trave...

 

The Longest Holiday i've ever had.............

Really, it can. For starters - their signage which I know i've already mentioned, and i'm going to mention again. Written at Wimbledon Tennis - "Taps not for drinking". Well! o great revelation there. If you drank a tap you'd choke! ...

 

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 ...

FRANCE

I saw all the major things to see in Paris. The Eiffel Tower was quite beautiful by night. Perhaps I was most impressed though with how friendly and helpful I found the French people to be. I enjoyed them very much. My first visit to France was to Pari...

A Holiday in Europe

"We're not in Germany anymore." Sunday. We said goodbye to Thomas and made our way through the train stations to Brussels, Belgium. We seemed to have overworked R2-J2 (as we nicknamed Jean, thanks to her astounding sense of direction) beca...

 

Pretending to be an Expat

i arrived in Brussels to the most amazing weather there has been during my entire stay in Brussels. i took a taxi from Zaventem airport to my sight-unseen apartment. My roomate was not to arrive for another 6 days and some random person on the street (...

Travelstan2007

On Saturday the 18th we boarded an overnight train from Kashgar to Turpan - an oasis city (famous for its grapes) on the northern edge of the Taklamakan desert. Within a couple of days we went from camping above 4000m to an elevation of 150m below sea ...
