                    <title>Sitges</title>
                    <description>So today is going to get a short entry because it was mostly a travel day. We did however do some important stuff today 1 being finally having a real swim in the Mediterranean We started the day with a trek to the local Chinese Store apparently a genre around here as thats what people called it everywhere that had everything in the universe at decent prices including adaptors for</description>

                    <title>Barcelona</title>
                    <description>So Barcelona is large but is still surprisingly walkable like it seems all European towns are. We started the day heading to the famous Los Ramblas streetmarket. This place had by far the most street performers of any place Ive ever been including any place in New York or Los Angeles. Most were not very interesting but some stood out. A pair of people one draped completely in white one in</description>

                    <title>Carcassonne</title>
                    <description>The trip to Carcassonne was quite an adventure. We headed out at around 5pm from Avignon and found that the French trains were having another of their wonderfully selective read only us strikes so the train we wanted wasnt running. So we had to take a bus to the highspeed train lines to catch a train that didnt arrive until 3 hours later. Great. At least the station was nifty all futu</description>

                    <title>Avignon</title>
                    <description>Avignon is a really great example of a Medieval city. The first one I feel Ive seen with its great walldriven planning and architecture. And the color of the place is so refreshingly uniform its amazing. I probably wouldnt say that normally but after spending a month in the LifeMonopolyRisk color schemes of the rest of Europe its actually quite nice if just for a change.Even from</description>

                    <title>Monaco  Monte Carlo</title>
                    <description>So we decided to cancel our second night in Nice and try to move onwards to Avignon. On the way we saw the most densely populated country in the world and also one of the smallestMonaco.This is the second microcountry Ive seen on this trip and is of course very different than the Vatican. The entire thing is secluded from the world with mountains around twothirds of it and the other thi</description>

                    <title>Nice</title>
                    <description>I will preface this entry by saying the Nice was not what I was expecting. Nevertheless we ended up seeing some unique things that made this day worthwhile.Nice is known as a vacation spot for summer vacationing French. This is due largely to its proximity to other nice beaches and its weather but certainly NOT for its own beaches which are cold and rocky. So we did not get to swim here. We did</description>

                    <title>Annecy</title>
                    <description>So Annecy started out quite badly with us having to call all our reservations and try to push them back because the French train strike will keep us from heading out to Nice today and with us wandering the town for a couple hours before finding our hostel on the top of a hill in the rain  However after waking up the city more than mde up for the bad start.Annecy is known as Frances Venice</description>

                    <title>Geneva</title>
                    <description>So apparently the train people are striking right now in France. That made getting to Annecy more difficult and more expensive than it should have been. We ended up taking a bus. So we got to spend a little more than 4 hours in Geneva.Geneva itself is a very modern city. I actually liked that bout it unlike I did for Lucerne probably because I was expecting that here. And the old town in Geneva </description>

                    <title>Lucerne</title>
                    <description>I repeat Lucerne is nowhere near as quaint as the guidebooks would have you believe. Once you get past that which took us a while its a fine city.We set out to see the old city of Lucerne which is supposedly the finest instance of modern mixing with new. In reality its far more new than old but you can still find traces of the old with the city walls and random narrow alley</description>

                    <title>Grindelwald</title>
                    <description>Sorry my entries are getting so late but as youve probably guessed traveling with someone means I have less free time that I should spend on writing  I have a 9 hour train ride tomorrow the 12th so I should be able to catch up thenWe decided to use today to travel to Grindelwald which is close to Interlaken but higher up in the mountains. Its actually in its own valley completely s</description>

                    <title>Interlaken </title>
                    <description>Interlaken as a town is all about the extreme sports. I know some of you all would love it in this area.I spent the first Interlaken day mostly traveling. It seems getting in and out of Switzerland by train takes a while likely due to the mountains. Took me about 12 hours to get from Munich to Interlaken including one missed connection. We decided to skip Zurich and head straight to Interlaken m</description>

                    <title>Munich</title>
                    <description>Munich is  great city. I started Munich full of worry that the rain would destroy my one day there. Seriously The rain is following me. It rained in Vienna all 3 days in Hallstatt in Munich and even now in Interlaken it's raining. Enough already But the walking tour neweuropetours.eu still went even with the rain and my lovely Broken Umbrella TM is still going strong so no stupid rain is</description>

                    <title>Hallstatt day 2 12  The Salt Mines</title>
                    <description>So today is basically a travel day to Munich but I decided I wanted to hit the infamous salt mines in the area before heading out. Ergo an actual post for today omg.Sorry this didn't get posted yesterday like I said it would. I had an interesting experience where about a dozen Canadians and one American mobbed me desperate to watch what turned out to be the final game in the NHL this se</description>

                    <description>Today my main goal was to see the nearby Ice Caves which I had heard much bout on the interwebs.Day started with the best breakfast Ive had yet in Europe provided by the guest house Im staying at included in the rent. The morning traipse though the town was refreshingthe fog that comes off the mountain here stays all day unlike how it seemed to behave in West Virginia or Japan.A chea</description>

                    <title>Hallstatt Day 1</title>
                    <description>This journal entry is for my first day in Hallstatt. I have a second day today actually which I wont write an entry for until its finished as I still plan to do stuff today but the internet place closes at 5 soAnyways Halstatt is great. Another place built up against water like Cinque Terre but this place is a lot calmer and less touristy. And its next to a lake not the ocean. An</description>

                    <title>Vienna Austria</title>
                    <description>Vienna is huge. Not really talking about the size of the city per se but all of the buildings gardens ec are ginormous here. Major change from my recent plces in Italy. Either way expect a lot of text and pics I decided I could only afford one full day here in Vienna in order to get to Zurich in time on the 6th to meet up with Brent. Ergo I chose a few major destinations and set out at 8AM. I</description>

                    <title>Venice</title>
                    <description>Another entry written without internet. Hopefully these get posted soon.Today was a Venice day. Yesterday was travel.Venice started out a bit disappointing for me for some reason I had it pictured in my head as a lot more... quaint. But it fixed itself pretty quickly as I escaped the tourist traps while I wandered randomly. I decided that I wouldn't even use a map today instead just randomly </description>

                    <title>Cinque Terre</title>
                    <description>So Cinque Terre is amazing. Its required that if you go to Italy you go here. nuff said.But if you want to know more for some reason  Got here Riomaggiore on the 27th t about 6PM or so. The town is only accessible via a long painted tunnel from the train station and basically consists of one street going pretty much straight up the mountain with a lot of extremely vertical houses </description>

                    <title>Pisa and Siena</title>
                    <description>I just realized that I've never been in a country the drives the wrong side of the road US Canada Japan Greece and Italy all drive the same way. Funny that. Anyways.Headed to Pisa to check out the tower as is required and finished that pretty quick. Was definitely worth visiting but don't think for a second that you should stay there. And the number of people pulling the holding up the t</description>

                    <title>Florence day 2</title>
                    <description>So today was good albeit a bit slow. Started the day in a small museum with a bunch of supposedly working reproductions of Leonardo's machines. I say supposedly because most of them said do no touch on the side  Then a tire blew out in a car RIGHT next to me when I was walking down the street. The car's alarm went off kind of funny in retrospect. I jumped but for some reason didn't really </description>
