It was an overnight trip and we got into Italy at 7 a.m. so I woke up and went out on the deck and watched the most GORGEOUS sunrise over the Italian coast. It could not have been more perfect The first day in Rome I spent at the Vatican cit http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Lazio/Rome/blog-325577.html Hey everyone Sorry I havent written in a while Ive been awful at keeping this updated but I will definitely try harder Right now I am in Split Croatia. We are on the coast so there is a harbor and beach just down the road from our hostel. I am still traveling with Ryan and Steve and along the way weve picked up and lost several others. The rest of Prague was AMAZING and I never want http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Croatia/Dalmatia/Split/blog-323540.html Hey everyone Sorry I haven't written in a while I really have no excuse for not keeping up in Germany basically because I didn't do too much....unfortunatley I was feeling a little under the weather after I left Norway and exhaustion took control about halfway to Berlin. When I arrived in Berlin my body just didn't want to handle anymore. I did get to go on some tours and see the city and I http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Czech-Republic/Prague/blog-320417.html I've made it safely to Norway Wednesday night I flew to Copenhagen Denmark and had to spend the night sleeping in the airport....that was interesting. Eight hours and I was basically the only soul there except for the cleaning crew. It actually wasn't as bad as I had thought it would be. I used my day pack as a pillow and brought a blanket with me curled up across some seats and slept o http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Norway/Vestlandet/Bergen/blog-317547.html Hey everyone I'm in Brugge Belgium I love this little town It's very small not a ton to do but it's Beautiful The streets are all cobblestone the buildings are brick and old looking but very well kept there are horse and carriages everywhere and the people are so nice I feel like I stepped iinto the scene of a Charles Dickens story I arrived yesterday after spending a few http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Belgium/West-Flanders/Brugge/blog-314905.html I've arrived in Paris....I took a train here last night got into my hostel and went to bed I was exhausted.

The two days after bungy jumping and canyoning I went hiking into the mountains and just recovered because my body was SORE Today I took a tour of Paris and got to see Notre Dame The Louvre the Eiffel tower Arc de Triomphe and much more It http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/France/Ile-de-France/Paris/blog-313612.html WOW That is basically the only way I can describe the last two days of my life I arrived in Switzerland yesterday morning and before I even put my bags in my room I went to check out all of the extreme sports that they offer. Before I knew it I was signed up to go bungy jumping at 400 THAT DAY I was going to do the smaller one but decided to just go for it all the way I jumped http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Switzerland/South-West/Interlaken/blog-312156.html Leaving Barcelona and heading to Switzerland tonight I will be there sometime tomorrow afternoon..However I dont know if Ill have internet and heard that its really expensive so I might not be on for a few days..

Havent written in a few days so I just thought Id throw out an update. First and foremost my body and I are in a lovehate relationship right now. It loves me because I eat Gelato like three times a day. It loves me because I dont care and it tastes delicious. It loves me because all that I can afford to eat is heaps of pasta and have been doing so daily. It lo http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Spain/Valencian-Community/Valencia/blog-309902.html Im melting as we speak. Granada is about 112 degrees. If you dont hear from me in the next four days or so I officially melted away. That is all. http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Spain/Andalusia/Granada/blog-308936.html Alright so now Im in Granada. Its actually a pretty cool place and basically exactly what Ive been looking for in Spain. Its a small city with a lot of history and gorgeous scenery. Im still up in the air about Spain in general though. For some reason Im just not feeling it. I was planning on going to Portugal and Morocco but I think Im actually just going to head to Valencia and http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Spain/Andalusia/Granada/blog-308577.html Last night in Madrid....tomorrow I head to Granada in the south of Spain where I hear it is much less big city and a little more relaxing. Madrid has been pretty good but I still feel like Im just at home. Im ready to experience some real Europe...I think heading east as soon as possible is defiately on my agenda. But overall Madrid was pretty good. I was in a shit hostel for three nights http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Spain/District-of-Madrid/Madrid/blog-308021.html Ive arrived in Madrid and already it is WAY better than Barcelona. It was probably due to the bad experience I had Im sure Barcelona is great but I was ready to get out of there. The last night was actually pretty fun I went on a bar crawl with the people in my hostel and we went to this bar that had a list of like 300 shots. Most of them had crazy names so we would just pick which ones so http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Spain/District-of-Madrid/Madrid/blog-307022.html Oh man....so its only been two days since Ive written but SO MUCH has happened I finally arrived in Spain at about 1100 p.m. on Monday night about an hour and a half late due to a flight delay. So when I land the lady next to me saw the directions I had for the place I was supposed to be staying in Barcelona I was going to couch surf and she was like you do know that we landed in Gi http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Spain/Catalonia/Barcelona/blog-306266.html Hello there I am writing from Dublin...my last night here I fly to spain at 6 pm and I can't wait The last three days have been amazing to say the least As I said i was supposed to go to Cork but ended up in Dingle instead.
