Roskilde Julie J Vanover I was really excited when I put up this blog because Rockilde wasn't listed in the cities of Denmark, so I added it. I was the first to put up a blog on Roskilde and get it on the travel blog map! To go where no travel blogger has gone before.... I went to Roskilde to see the Viking Museum where the remains of 5 viking ships are on display. The museum also went into the history of the vikings and how and where they lived. There had been a long held belief that there was [View Full Entry]

Malmo Europe » Sweden » Malmo By Miss Julie June 18th 2007 Malmo Julie J Vanover I took a day trip to Malmo from Copenhagen, it was a little less than a half hour train ride over this huge bridge. I liked riding over the water on this huge bridge. I didn't realize that Copenhagen wa [View Full Entry]

Copenhagen Julie J Vanover I have to confess that by the time that I arrived in Copenhagen I was pretty road weary. I slept in pretty late every day and then would lounge around my hostel for a few hours before I would head out for the day. I really liked everything that I saw in Copenhagen, I just didn't have an extremely good deal of motivation to see it. I mainly walked around the streets, I did a self guided walking tour and saw many beautiful buildings from churches to the Rosenburg Castle. My favorites were "The Litt [View Full Entry]

Amsterdam Julie J Vanover I arrived in Amsterdam and I needed to find my hostel quickly so that I could get settled in and make it to the Free Tour of Amsterdam. The only problem was that there were no written directions on the website, only a map. So I used the little map that I had in my book and what I could remember from the web. Well, somewhere I turned the wrong way and the 10 minute walk from the train station turned into over an hour walk. I rushed to the meeting point for the free tour [View Full Entry]

Colonge and the Rhine River Valley Julie J Vanover I came to Cologne because I wanted to see the Rhine River Valley and Cologne was the coolest city- by far- around the area. I didn't do alot of sightseeing in Cologne because I always was getting in really late. I did see the Cathedral there which is massive, you step out of the train station and the Cathedral is literally right there. It is so big that your neck gets tired looking at it. Just walking around it was a workout. Unfortunately this was really all that I saw of [View Full Entry]

Brugge and Brussels Julie J Vanover I thought that Belgium was very suprisingly beautiful, however my encounters with people here were very odd. I got off the night train from Berlin in Brussels and hopped on the local train to Brugge. The train was practically empty and so when a guy came to try to sit across from me experience had taught me this wasn't a good thing. He spoke a language that I didn't recognize (maybe Flemish) and I played dumb when he was asking if he could sit across from me- luckily my pack was in the way [View Full Entry]

Ghent Julie J Vanover I came into Brussels on the night train from Berlin and headed to Brugge where I was staying. I got to my hostel but I couldn't get into my room until after 2 o'clock so I decided that since I didn't have a home I would take a day trip to Ghent and really feel homeless. I arrived in Ghent and finally found the tourist information office and got a map. The lady asked my nationality and gave me the map and showed me where I was. I moved over to the side to find what [View Full Entry]

Berlin Julie J Vanover I arrived in Berlin much later in the day than I had planned because of my visit to St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague. I didn't get checked in at my hostel until about 9pm and I still needed dinner. So I headed over to the main street a block away from my hostel and had an Indian Buffet. While I was eating I ran into two girls that I had stayed with in Budapest, they were on a pub crawl and seemed to be very much enjoying themselves. As I was walking back to my hostel [View Full Entry]

Kutna Hora Julie J Vanover The morning that I had planned on going to the Castle in Prague I went to Kutna Hora instead because of President Bush's visit. Kutna Hora is a town about an hour outside of Prague that is known for the Kostnice Sedlec Ossuary inside of the All Saints Church. I got into Kutna Hora and had to take another train to get into the town, we stopped at this stop that said Sedlec, so I asked the conductor if this was the Ossuary. He nodded yes, but it appeared that we were in the middle [View Full Entry]

Prague Julie J Vanover I left Cesky Krumlov on the bus, which is the fastest way to go becuase of the work that they are doing on the railroads. So I thought it couldn't be too bad... famous last words. The guy in front of me had this huge single dread lock that he pulled off of his head about 5 inches up with this huge head band. He put this dread of hair over the seat and practically in my face. If I leaned forward more than a few inches than it was right there. He kept falling asleep [View Full Entry]
