I think this was the first time I'd been on a plane? I don't remember that much about it now, except the air stewardess pouring the contents of a boiling kettle onto my arm, which I remember because it left a small scar on my arm when it blistered. Per

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...

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...

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 ...

My favourite parts of visiting Whiltshire were the road trips to Stonehenge, Avebury circle, the white horses, haunted pubs and crop circles! England is enchanting. I was excited to visit Stonehenge, it was somewhere that I'd always wanted to vis...

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...

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...

My last Florence-based day I decided to daytrip to Siena. But I didn't get going on the bus thing early enough, so I had to wait until a 1pm bus. Didn't leave a ton of time to see Siena, as I had to get back to Florence to catch an evening train to Rom...

With just one day in Florence, I opted for the Pitti Palace and adjacent Boboli Gardens, rather than the mega-popular galleries on the other side of the river. It turns out this "one" Palace contains about a hundred different galleries and mu...
