Europe - On!

Amsterdamage...what can I say....it was unreal. Stoked to catch up with Jenna (chch represent!!!) and cause some carnage about town. Made many a mission to many a cafe, got treated like royalty by all the locals we made friends with. All in all anot...

 

Europe 2006

Geneva Arrived late wednesday night in a thunderstorm but had a really good hostel booked. Spent next day looking round the lake and museums in the sunshine but best of all the UN. Watched American Pie in the hostel at night and had dinner with some ...

 

Europe August-September 2005

The night train to Florence was one of the highlights of the trip for me. I tried to get some sleep early on because I was scared of missing the stop, but it was all too exciting. Changed at Pisa at 3:30am and fell asleep, woke up then nearly got off...

 

Justin's World Tour 2006-2007

Greetings everyone from the heart of the former evil empire. Yes I am still alive...this is a good sign haha. Anyways my god do I ever have alot to talk about. Russia is just incredible, lets just say its the most crooked, culturally intense, beautiful...

 

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...

 

The World Cup

Still too upset, pissed off, etc. to write this... Over it now, actually no, but enough to continue on. Let's just say that if this were handwritten last night, there may have been some smudging. Had my first alcohol free day on Sunday since...

 

Europe Trip 2006

Brugge was quite the quaint old little town. Very nice but also very touristy. Tons of elderly people there doing the horse drawn carriage thing down the narrow cobblestone streets, or taking boat rides down the canals. I did see some of the town but m...

 

GERMANY

I've made three separate visits to Germany. The first was to Cologne which has the most beautiful Gothic Cathedral I've ever seen. It sits right on the Rhine River and is a truly stunning sight at night when everything is lit up. In January 2005, I vis...

 

Europe 2005

Mozart and Strauss and Sachertorte - and a surprise reunion!!!...

 

Central Europe and Korea

Because Denmark is so small and we had all day, the next morning we drove north to see the coast and Helsinger (where Hamlet's castle is) on our way to visit Daphne, Karin's mum, who lives in the south near where we'd take the ferry to Germany. Through...

 

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...

 

Europe 2006

I arrived at Dusseldorf airport to have Pam and Pier pick me up. It was quite late in the evening, and the weather was not the flashest - so we grabbed a quick beer, a bite to eat, and headed back to Pam's place to have a nice long cachup! The next ...

 

Teaching in Germany 2005

Had a great day exploring the city using the Red Thread Guide! I thought the city was very pretty and there was lots to see....

 

Keulen 7-9 april 2006

Wow, Keulen is echt een aanrader! De sfeer van een gezellig groot dorp, maar de grootte en de leuke dingen van een huge stad. Ik heb me geen moment onveilig gevoeld en het publiek in de kroegen is echt te gek! ga vooral naar de universiteitswijk, want ...

 

Cologne at Christmas

We headed to Cologne from Gatwick which is very close to work at London Bridge – it turned out to be a great idea as it saved a lot of the stress of getting to an airport in a hurry. We flew into Cologne and assumed that the trains would be as reliabl...

 

Germany

Germany Break...

 

Sergeant Freeman's Magical History Tour

Fairly last minute decision by Garth and myself to undertake a road trip into Europe for the bank holiday weekend. Took the car ferry from Ramsgate in Kent. We could have been taking a ferry to Fresh Kills landfill on Staten Island and it would have se...
