Good old Lagos....what a crazy and wonderful place! I arrived in Lagos after an intense over night 13 hour train ride from San Sebastian. I was on a bench on the train with 6 other men for 13 hours! Luckily I was able to crawl under the bench and lay on the floor beneath them for the majority of the trip and was even able to grab a few hours of sleep! After a train transfer in Lisbon and another in Tunes I finally made it to Lagos...thank god! Lagos is such a cool town. Narrow streets packed with little shops [View Full Entry]

Well it has been a while since my last update and I will try not to make this too long. When I last wrote Richard and I were planning on heading to the bull arena in Pamplona to try and get tickets for the bullfight. We headed there and found scalpers everywhere...seemed as though everyone we talked to was selling tickets. The prices started high (70-50 euro) as it was a couple hours before the matches started. Wisely Richard forced us to wait it out until a few minutes before the fights started because we knew scalpers would get desperate. We [View Full Entry]

So we made it to Pamplona after a 6 hour bus ride that left Barcelona at 730am....we arrived in Pamplona around 2 and the madness ensued. The moment we got off the bus we were surrounded by thousands of people in white shirts and red scarfs, completely covered in red wine.....absolutely drunk off their asses. It was a site that we will not soon forget. So needless to say the first thing we did was buy some white pants, a red scarf, and pour some red wine on ourselves to fit in with mob. We bought a baguette and a few [View Full Entry]

After an insane 24 hour marathon of travel we arrived in Barcelona yesterday safe and sound. We took an 830pm night train that was scheduled to arrive in Barcelona at 10am the next morning.....perfect! Unfortunately our train was delayed 15 minutes which made us miss our connecting train thus creating 24 hours of transferring, training inland, 4 hour lay overs at 5 in the morning....etc. It was quite the little ordeal but we ended up getting into Barcelona at 7pm last night. We found an awesome hostel right in the heart of the main drag. Barcelona is a very cool place....very [View Full Entry]

I think I just published 2 new entries from Croatia that I had written but not published!?! Im not sure what happened there....thats a lot of reading i know. We are now in gorgeous Cinque Terre after arriving a couple days ago from Florence. We had a great time in Florence! We stayed at a wonderful campsite located 2 minutes from the Michelangelo Plaza which over looks all of Florence. We arrived at about 8pm and had just enough time to drop our bags in our tent, run up the hill and grab some wine, and watch the sun set over [View Full Entry]

So we made it safely to Rome from Dubrovnik after a loooong 24 hours of busses, overnight ferries, and trains. We arrived in Rome at about 2pm and made our way to our campsite. This place is fantastic! It has 2 pools, a beach volley ball court, 3 bars, 2 restaurants, disco, outdoor theatre...its got it all. So the first day we were beat and hung around the pool swimming and tanning...we played beach volley ball for about 2 hours and put on an absolute clinic! It was a lot of fun. I met up with an old friend from Venice [View Full Entry]

So after much difficulty and confusion I finally met up with Richard! I was down at the harbour looking for him for 2 mornings...the first day he wasn't there because he accidentally told me the wrong day.....ooooops. *bloody forbes* The 2nd morning I was up at the crack of 9 again to meet him at the harbour....but again, to no avail. He was re routed into Zagreb and had to take a bus down from there....quite the ordeal he went through so I couldnt be too mad at him. When I didnt find him down there I took a ferry to [View Full Entry]

Well I have fallen in love with the city Split which is the central hub on the dalmation coast. I have found a wonderful little hostel just 10 minutes from downtown, its called the 3 turtles because of the turtles that run wild in the main courtyard....quite neat. There are some really people that I have met here and we have had a great time spending evenings walking through the central boulevard. It is festival season here so there are street performances throughout the evening. The last couple of nights we have grabbed some cheap wine and walked up and down [View Full Entry]

Well I am not sure where exactly I left you last but I think it was Interlaken! I had a fantastic last night in Interlaken....We had a giant Fusbol tournament in our hostel with a couple Americans and a few other Canadians that i met there...i definitley represented. So in the morning it was off to Venice (which was a last second audible) I figured since I was in the neighbourhood I should at least check it out for the afternoon and then leave the following morning...and boy was i glad that i did! The city itself is absolutley gorgeous. It [View Full Entry]

Well I had a fantastic final day in Munich. In the morning I went for a really long walk along the main river in the city and stopped at a few parks along the way. I made my way into the city center for a free walking tour that was set to begin at 3. Before the tour started i met a few aussie friends at the Hofbrahaüs for a beer. It is such a cool atmosphere in there. It was sunny in the beer garden and there was a live brass band playing music...very cool. The walking tour was great, [View Full Entry]
