Euro Trip
So here's the general rundown.
Cities: London (UK), Paris (France), Antibes (France), Lauterbrunnen (Switzerland), Rome (Italy), Florence (Italy), Venice (Italy), Bologna (Italy), Pisa (Italy), Czesky Krumlov (Czech Republic), Prague (Czech Republic), Munich (Germany), Heidelberg (Germany), and Amsterdam (Netherlands).
Favorite Cities: Venice, Prague and absolutely lush LONDON
Best Cheap Eats: Prague. Loved their beer (Staropramen rocks my socks) and those bohemian dumplings they serve with pretty much everything.
Best Dinner: Paella Valenciana in Amsterdam. Loved that rabbit.
Favorite thing to do: Find a a grassy area and lie down/sleep. Did this by the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Spanish steps and the Colosseum in Rome, and the Hapsburg Palace in Vienna.
Nicest People: Hands down, the DUTCH, The Dutch are super nice and super friendly and super hospitable. Followed pretty closely by the French. Isn't that a surprise?
Best Splurge: Toss-up between that Chinese feast we had by Leicester Square in London and the gondola ride in Venice (cheesy, yes, but still absolutely a must-do).
Most memorable Night: Again, a toss-up. Loved the beer hall in Munich. But then, there's the sequined pink hat in Venice. Enough said.
Service Stop Necessities: Milka Chocolate, caprese sandwiches, cup of coffee.
Best Campsite: Venice, followed closely by Rome. I'd put Heidelberg in for the scenery, but dude, they make you pay for a shower!
Coach Anthems: You Can't Stop the Beat, Fat-Bottomed Girls, Summer of 69.
Waker Uppers: Wake Up Little Suzy, Budweieser Commercials
Weirdest Habit picked up on the Trip: Flap Drying
Trip Expression: Don't Worry About it!
Best Sight Seen: Colosseum, canals of Venice
Best Camp Dinner: Spaghetti Bolognaise, when we were cookies
A random smattering of pictures. More on Lia's facebook and Falinie's multiply. I didn't even bring a camera.
Just hanging out by the Eiffel Tower. Lia, Leah Baliw, and me.
Tight and Bright Party in Switzerland: Simon, Welshy, Wilco, Lindsay, Kylie, Jim, Toine, and Me.
Tiffany and Me, first night in Amsterdam. Just after the Sex Show.
Just us girls in Prague.
Faline, Bianca, me, and Lauren. Florence, Italy.
Last Pub Night with the Contiki Crew in London, right by the Royal National in Russell Square.
Me with the girls in Venice.
