Hello folks, welcome to our final blog entry before returning to blighty! We're currently enjoying our third day in Paris and have been really quite busy. Strolled around the Champs Eleise complete with Rammstein fans, scary; and a Renault showroom with Fernando Alonso's car in. Very exclusivo street. The Arc d'Triumphe was bigger than we'd expected as Dan found out to his cost. On the first day he decided to amble up to the Arc, our meeting place for the day seen as though we're in different hostels. Having been told by an Aussie it was a gentle stroll, he turned [View Full Entry]

Howdy! Well here it is our penultimate blog from Munich. The first morning we whizzed around the main sites in central Munich, including the rather nice rathaus, complete with Glockenspiel and the huuuuge Frauen Kirche. After all this strenuous site seeing we decided to take advantage of the good weather and head up to the Englischer Garten which is a big outdoor beer Garden surrounded by park and forests. However on route Ben decided to throw his camera in a nearby river that we were taking pictures of. Whilst he stressed Dan and i went to see if we could find [View Full Entry]

...Actually we were running from them like young girls!
Hey hey! We are currently sat in a lovely camp-site about 20mins outside of the island that is Venezia. I say lovely but we're living in a box and half of Southern England is currently getting lairy in the 'Gondola Pub'. Venice itself has been a much nicer experience. It is my (Dan) first time here and I think it lives up to all thats said about it. Yesterday we did the usual sights including the Rialto and St Marks square. It was in the square that we were accosted by pigeons as Ben thought it would be fun to get [View Full Entry]

Hot on the heels of the Vienna blog, we present you with a gripping Salzburg edition! Apologies first, its an injustice to the city that we don't have USB facilities to show you how absolutely gorgeous-looking this place is. Travelling through the scenic Austrian countryside to get here raised our expectations and I'm pleased to report that it has lived up to our own hype. It's considerably smaller than what we have got used to visiting and the fact that it is encircled by pine trees and mountains gives it a remote feel. We've certainly gone for it on the new [View Full Entry]

Well hello there! Sorry once again for the slight delay. Jane glad you are hooked up at last, just in time for our Vienna segment. We left Budapest and their random piles of rubbish behind us and took a scenic journey to Vienna. The first night we just ended up chillin' in the hostel bar which was cosy. It was a really friendly place though and we ended up meeting a couple of people, firstly Bob and American guy from Iowa- who weirdly has just walked into our hostel in Salzburg as im writing this! We were then joined by a [View Full Entry]

Evenin' all. Since last we blogged we have been enjoying the delights and....well, the other bits of Budapest. Sam insisted we discuss the extremely fast escalators that you need a prepared run-up to get on 'cos they're so quick. And the lifts that have not been serviced since the fall of the Soviet Union and therefore cant really take Ben jumping around doing busted impressions! Anyways our first night saw us stumbling upon the rather spectacular light-art-show-thing, certainly brightens up the place! Since then we have seen the awesome Parliament building, Basilica, and hero's square, [View Full Entry]

Sorry to keep you waiting (again) It's me sorry I've been far too slack (Ben) I think the more Dan and Sam moan about it to me the more I'm like: yeah whatever. Anyway we've done Prague in the time since the last blog and very nice it is indeed. The place was rammed with tourists; how inconsiderate, but hit the top sights like the castle, charles bridge and a variety of other dashing buildings. Definately up there with Berlin as our fave destination so far. We managed to catch the footy in an English bar. Its was v. expensive but [View Full Entry]

Hey folks! First of all sorry for the lack of blog-age the last couple of days. Drama struck just like in an episode of diagnosis murder- except there was no dancing from Dick van Dyke. Since i (sam) came to Warsaw id had a bit of tummy ache- thought is was probably a dodgy kebab which dan is so fond of. However a day or so later i got really bad back pain. Anyways to cut a long story short i went to the doctors who transferred me to hospital (in a lil ambulance). I had xrays ultra sounds, some doc [View Full Entry]

Ola peeps! Glad you liked the photos. Thought we'd let you see some more while we have the ability! Had an exceedingly nice day yesterday, pehaps inspired by the glorious weather. Discussed the finer points of the famous composer "Chop-in" with Ben, persuaded him that the Polish beer Zywiec is pronounced "six" and I myself (Dan) uttered the words-"sorry I dont speak foreign" to an innocent Polish woman asking for change. Apparently I also laughed in a nuns face but I do not agree entirely with this. Apart from that we had a lovely walk around 'old town' which was completely [View Full Entry]

Hi from poland! It's Warsaw today after a 6 hour train ride from the german capital. Yesterday we rounded off our Berlin sightseeing, visiting the Olympiastadion, host of the 1936 Olympics and designed by Hitler. I'd nagged Sam and Dan since we arrived in Berlin that we should go there as it's the ground of Hertha Berlin a German footy team and holds 85,000 people - Ben (footy geek) Also carried on our tradition of going up things - despite Dan's fear of heights - went up the enormous TV tower and the Reichstag. First impressions of Warsaw are good, looks [View Full Entry]
