For anyone still checking this blog I'm afraid to say its unlikely to receive anymore attention as I simply find that on my holidays I'm having too much fun to spend time on the Internet. For those of you not on facebook, you can check out a few of my photos from my current 4-week India stint at http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=24295&l=58ad1&id=534306891. More photos will follow soon, that's all!... read more

Well, the rest of my travels through Italy considered of much sleeping on buses as I was carted from Rome to Florence to Venice. The week of partying and definitely taken its tool on my and by body didn't appreciate the early morning wake-ups and my attempts to continue partying late into the night. Eventually it gave in and I hovered on the edge of illness until I finally got some solid sleep on the floor at the back of the bus on the trip from Florence to Venice. Florence offered another good dose of Italian food and some good wine as well as a couple late-night venues that provided some entertainment for those few of us on the trip that didn't have bed-times before midnight (party photos will be posted in a future entry, ... read more

Back to Rome Europe » Italy » Rome By PedroElPedro May 20th 2007 Paul Rubin Alright, so this whole Travel Blog thing didn't really work out . . . now my trip's over and I'm a month out of date. However for those of you waiting to experience an extravagant and ridiculously decadent European holiday vicariously through your's truly, I'll gradually post some pics from the various locales throughout the next week. Let's see, back in Rome there was not much to report, I went on the same pub crawl again, and made sure I got my free t-shirt this time, also saw some more fountains, churches, etc. By the weekend, the self-funded portion of my holiday came to an end an... read more

After a fun week of sight-seeing, partying and not much sleeping in Vienna, I joined my cousin Emil for a couple days in his house out by the countryside in the middle of Krumau. Krumau is a little Austrian village (couldn't actually find it on the map) with a population of 300. The surounding countryside was stunning and Krumau was everything you could hope for as a destination to escape the tourists and just chill out. My cousin's house was fantastic, an absolutely massive 3 story place fully equipped wtih sauna, fireplace, huge wine collection and a truly impressive liquor cabinent. With plenty of stunning views to take in and plenty of places to explore, plus of course the offer to sweat out the previous night's alcohol consumption, I planned to do as much exploring ... read more

This post is actually to cover the madness that was my time in Vienna, however thought I'd advertise to see if any random people, or friends of friends might be in Rome when I'm back there on Friday 18th-19th May (ugly people need not apply . . . and yes I know, everyone's beautiful on the inside). Anyways, back to business, apologies for the poor quality of the last post, will try to liven things up a bit and will avoid referring to Paul in the 3rd person, that was just stupid. Vienna Sightseeing Being a tourist I would be remiss to not to the touristy sight-seeing, so that's what I did in Vienna. Went to the Art Museum, went to the natural history museum, did the bus tour around the city and went to ... read more

Greetings all. For those of you who don't know I've finally returned to the wonderful state of living that is a proper overseas holiday. This holdiay consists of a month travelling around Europe, primarily in the Mediterranean. The first week I'm staying in cheap hostels and with relatives. The last three weeks I'm staying in five star hotels and on the cruise ship the Grand Princess. Which will I prefer, hostels or luxury? Only time will tell . . . Before we go further with this blog I'll quickly explain a few things. I make no guarantees that any stories/people/events/claims/photos that contained herein are in any way factual or fictional. I'm on holiday for a month, which means I plan to spend as little time in front of a computer and as much time being ... read more
