"Congratulations!ekinz
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!
You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You're on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go.
You'll look up and down streets. Look 'em over with care.
About some you will say, "I don't choose to go there."
With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet,
you're too smart to go down any not-so-good street.
And you may not find any
you'll want to go down.
In that case, of course,
you'll head straight out of town.
It's opener there
in the wide open air.
Out there things can happen
and frequently do
to people as brainy
and footsy as you.
And when things start to happen,
don't worry. Don't stew.
Just go right along.
You'll start happening too.
OH!
THE PLACES YOU'LL GO!"

From Florence we drove along the coast of Italy, heading towards Switzerland. We drove past Lake Como and my jaws dropped. It was absolutely stunning, picture prefect and I totally understand why Gorge Clooney has a house there. The drive to Switzerland did not disappoint for a second, the scenery was amazing. Winding along the road where sea meets the mountain, waterfalls and vibrant green trees. We stopped at town called Lucerne, it a small town with a population of about 57,000. Major tourist destination as it lies between the mountains, has a wicked lake and the stunning Chapel Bridge. Free time to explore the town, I opt to do it alone. I felt great here, the air was crisp and pollution free. After exploring the streets I strike gold arches and had Maccas for ... read more

Florence, Sweet quaint Florence… Arrived into town mid day and the sun was glaring down, the air was sticky and had this distinctive smell. As I walked through the tiny narrow streets all I could smell was leather goods, stores after stores offering the best deal on jacket, bags, gloves and the list goes on. Tempted to look and walked away with 2 pairs of gloves for Loan. Today we had free time to explore this amazing city, it was so old and flat, no high rises and the buildings were amazing. The whole town was filled with original art pieces, displayed in the open because they had so much art to offer. After about 4 hrs of walking, looking and constantly getting lost I gave in. I wanted to shop. The whole trip I did ... read more

Rome… We arrived in Rome late afternoon; the air was humid and sticky. Tired from the bus ride I was in no mood for this walking tour. However my mind quickly changed when I saw the Coliseum, wow! To be standing next to a building so old my head cannot comprehend was amazing. From there we walked past the Roman Forum, Piazza Navona & then my favorite Fontana di Trevi. I have seen his fountain many many times in the movies but to be standing right next to it, stunning. Pretty much I spent my time here just watching people come and go. I did throw two coins in for wish and hope one day to return to this fountain. After a few hrs exploring this amazing city Crystal, Joseph and I settled for a nice ... read more

Venice was so friggin HOT! MY GOSH! I thought I was going to die under that sun!! We arrived in Venice late afternoon and everyone wasn’t keen on doing anything. Straight to the bar for a few drinks, we all kicked back and relaxed. The one thing I hated about Venice was the mozzies! GOD DAMNNNN!!!! They were everywhere and everyone single person on my tour was attacked by these suckers. The cabins we stayed in wasn’t all that great, the toilets were 5 minutes walk away!! I think most people sobered up just walking to the toilet, the bar must have made a fortune. The next day we had an early start, first we went to a glass blowing shop & then lace making. The glass blowing was awesome! it took him about 3 minutes ... read more

OMG~ as soon as we drove into Austria, my heart skipped a beat. Gorgeous green mountains, rivers, lush green grass and the friendliest people on the planet. Always smiling and helpful even when they don’t understand us. The day started off very well with a gorgeous mountain bike ride through the forest, mountain and along the river. The ride was 10kms long stopping half way of a nice lunch in a traditional house. It gave me time to think, this world has so much to offer and traveling is the one thing I will never stop doing. Breathing in the fresh air and seeing these mountains made me realize why city slickers go for the sea change or green change. It’s amazing and the best place so far on my trip. After the mountain bike ... read more

Arrived in Munich in the afternoon and explored this great town. It was very busy and the streets were filled with beer tables, pork sausages and more beer! I've never see so much beer in my lifeeeeeee!! The town was filled with friendly and happy drunks, lots of dancing and lots of laughter. That night we checked into our hotel and I loved it~ big beds, big pillows and heaps of room for me to dance around. After a quick rest we were off to the famous BEER HALL! A few minutes after sitting down we were given these STEINS of BEER!! They were heavy and hold about 1lt of beer~ haha I only have one photo of this experience... kinda got drunk... and the rest is history. Next stop... Austria Tyrol ... read more

Heading towards Prague we stopped at this quaint town of Dresden about 2hrs drive from Berlin and it was so pretty! The town mainly aimed at rich Germans and rich tourist. The streets were lined with cafes, restaurants and big brand names. The place held so much history and pretty much left untouched from the WW2. Had the best meal here at this little Italian café, fish pasta! Food back home is way better than in Europe. I'm in love... The one place I’ve been looking forward to the most and it’s made me fall in love. I love everything about it, the culture, the people and most off the old quarter. They have amazing buildings from houses to churches. The day was filled with sightseeing, cruises, lovely lunches and of course getting ripped off with ... read more

After leaving Amsterdam we headed over to BERLIN, the drive was so long. As soon as we arrived, dinner was served with these massive beers, real cheap too. That night the group went to the local bar and had an awesome time. That’s when I introduced the JAGGERBOMBS to the Americans, they all loved it. I even manage to get some of the Chinese drunk, good fun. The next day we had a 3 hr walking tour around Berlin, so much history and so much to do. Once the tour was done, I and 3 others decided to venture to the outskirt of Berlin to see a Concentration Camp. It was about an hr away by train and worth the visit. The camp itself was liberated by the Russians therefore less known. It was a ... read more

Amsterdam was what I had in mind and more... way more.... haha~ definitely the red light district was an eye opener. Never have I seen so many little rooms filled with hookers in my life, some of the girls were real hot~ There was lanes and lanes of these rooms scattered all over the red light district. I even witness a customer being naughty and getting into a fight with one of the pro. She was NASTY! Screaming and pushing him around, then suddenly her alarm went off. Along came running was her P.I.M.P and the customer ran off haha. Her P.I.M.P was dark tall and let me say very BIG! I also went to the sex show, yes like porn on a stage with a rotating bed. Was the funniest thing ever, got a ... read more

The flight over to London was dreadful... I had to sit next to a 70 year old Vietnamese drunk! He was abusing the free alkz until they stopped serving him, then he proceed to sing songs and laugh at nothing. After his 7th drink I left my seat and moved towards the back haha. 8hrs and I was in Vietnam for transit, went to see the oldies and of course EAT! mMm~~ Then another 13hrs to Paris France, 25 minutes to London... it was dreadful~ I manage to squeeze in so much in the 2 days I was there, I can also understand why so many Aussies pick up and head over there. The life is completely different to ours, so much to do and see. DAY 1: Bought a ticket for the Original Bus ... read more
