143 Days in Greece

So, Crete was wonderful--as usual. I got off the boat, inhaled the sweet pre-dawn air, and felt immediately as though I had come home. Our hotel was right on the waterfront, and though simple, was clean and attractive and the nicest manager ever. While...

 

European countries and cities 2001-2006

I have visited the following countries and cities in Europe since I started traveling. Once again, so many memories and photo's hopefully I will be able to upload everything one day soon with descriptions and advice....

 

Italia!!!

Ciao! When Mum first arrived she said that we need to try a new flavour of gelato every day - and we have (bar a couple of days but we would have 2 the next day to make up for it)! And our bellies show it! We're currently in Morbegno in the North...

 

Germany '04 - '05

Nic and I get tickets to go to Open Air Sankt Gallen - a festival taking place in Switzerland. I was a reasonably small festival with about 30 thousand people, but still attracted some big names. We had been so excited about seeing the Killer, who at t...

 

Euro Trip 2006

We spent this past weekend in Budapest, Hungary. The train ride there took almost 15 hours and our seats were right next to the smoking car (yuck)! Scott and I probably had three packs each by the time we arrived in Budapest. Once we got checked-in to...

 

Europe = love

Saturday morning, I got up and went to meet the other Jill, for a bit of Paris sightseeing. Unfortunately, when we went to put her luggage in the train station lockers, her wallet got stolen. I feel awful, because I actually saw the guy who did it, but...

 

Six months in Europe

I made it home, slightly worse for the wear. They say to not drink alcohol when crossing several time zones as it makes the jet lag worse, but then they give you free drinks on the plane! Silly people. So of course I indulged just a little. But now I'm...

"Rockin' Year in the Berg"

Today was quite a day in Athens. I got up early with plans to go to Olympia, but found out everything closed at 3pm. Since I wouldn't get there until 11:30 with the 5 hour train ride, I figured I could find better things to do with my day. Because I...

 

Europe 2000

Working in Ios, Greece. Visited the piramids in Egypt and Full Moon Party in Thailand with Oliver....

 

Europe 2006

Day 33 - Caught the 7,16am train to Munich which took about 4 hours. Glad we have the first class Eurail Pass, the carriages are comfortable and the trains go very very fast. Europe's trains are a great way to get around. We went to Dachau and the...

 

Summer 2006

My first real English resort town!!!! I wasn't there for the pints or fish and chips but I have to confess I did watch the football purely because it was an english speaking channel and paid an extortionate amount for my trashy OK mag. I went to Olu...

 

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...

 

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...

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...

 

Egypt & Jordan 2006

We were all pretty happy to be on firm, dry land in Sharm el-Sheikh, then got on a minibus for about 2 hours for the drive north to Dahab. At a refueling stop Kym ventured into - quote: "possibly the worst toilet I've ever seen in my life". A...

 

Switzerland

Text to follow shortly, need to get all paper journals sorted. :-)...

 

Post exam travelling!

So I had the good fortune to visit Switzerland for 5 days in mid-June. The first thing that struck me was - this country is expensive..the hotel room I had in zurich was decent accomodation but way more expensive than it would be in any other city. Wh...

 

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 ...

 

SWITZERLAND

Switzerland is so beautiful much like Austria. I went there on two separate visits, first stopping through Zurich in the summer of 2002 and then going to visit a friend in the winter of 2005. I found that the Swiss people are kind but not as outgoing a...

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 ...
