So from florence we roll into the swiss alps!! Very tired on the bus after 3hours sleep from the night before, but still couldn't sleep!! We were stuck in traffic at one point for an hour and a half, moving about 10ks due to traffic lights limiting the flow of traffic into a 15km long tunnel through a mountain. Eventually made into Lucerene where we checked out swiss watches and swiss army knives, and did a cruise on lake Lucerne, which sold the cheapest beer in switzerland at 2 euro a bottle. Got the bus into Engelberg, a tiny town at the base of Mt Titlis, had dinner and a few drinks and games of pool. It was good to kick back for once without a busy agenda. Met at 9.45 in the morning (that is ... read more

Wow! What an experience. White water rafting in Austrian Tirol, on the way from Munich to Venice. Water was around 6 degrees celcius, and at first was freaking freezing even in the body-hugging wetsuit, but by the end of it we were jumping in for fun. It wasn't as rough as some of us hoped, but was good fun!! As we roll into services on the italian highway, I found the italians to be rude and unhelpful, and was thinking this is just gonna be GREAT. But how wrong was I, this place is the best. First 2 nights were in Venice. The first night was quiet, few drinks and a game of poker with hand written paper chips at the hotel bar. Got on our motoscaffi and headed to the island of venice. Saw a ... read more

This will just be a quick one! After the last blog, I had an early ish night which was nice. The next morning was the drive from Berlin to Praha, with a stop off in Dresden. Very clean, pretty city. Made it into Praha around 4ish and were stuck in ridiculous amounts of traffic. Headed upto the castle district and saw that, walked back down to the old town centre, across the famous Charles bridge. Dinner at the hotel and out for another walk (we do ridiculous unbelievable amounts of walking, seriously.....) to see prague by night. What an amazing place, I can't say I'd wanna live there, but amazing by night. Mostly czech people speak enough english to get by, better than a lot of Germans do!!!! First night in praha was amazing. Quick version ... read more

It's just a straight copy of that email so that explains why it reads the way it does! Hi everyone!! A big hello from berlin! I was hoping to do a proper blog update with photos but the internet cafe here wont let me. It took us over an hour of walking to find this place, so this is the best I can do ;) How we all going?!?!

So what exactly is the format for a proper travel blog?! After a few beers and half a bottle of red on the second night, I have no idea, so lets see what flows!! Flights here seemed ridiculously long. It was only about 24hours, the 9 hour leg we had great sets, personal tv screens, an empty plane and heaps of legroom. Brilliant. Bangkok airport is positively HUGE, we walked for sriously 30 minutes and still weren't at the opposite end yet. Waited for like an hour and our flight arrived. All you seem to do on these long haul flights is eat and drink!! I managed 8 hours sleep on our second flight, woke up, had brekafast, killed and hour and it was time to get up and start monday morning arriving in London, so ... read more
