ll, Cause whatever it is, that describes Munich. This place is coasting to first place on my rankings of cites. I mean, the beer alone is enough to make it an awesome destination, but the combo of History and Bavarian culture take it over the top. Last night after I updated, I ended up hanging out with a bunch of awesome hostel mates and we decided to go over the the Famous HofBrau Haus, and it was an great time. Just to be hearing Bavarian bands playing, drinking and clinking beers together, and munching on pretzels was just something out of [View Full Entry]

Venezia ... Bellissima  Europe » Italy » Veneto » Venice
All, I finished up my time in Interlaken by seeing a movie film about U.S. & A at room in Bern with large screen. The weather was kinda crummy again, so I decided to see Borat, and of course I loved it. Well, today started out with me waking up 2 hours late for my train. I guess staying up til 3 am, and waking up at 5 wasn't a good plan from the get go. So, I woke up, showered, and sprinted to the train station. I showed up at like 8:50, and the next train was leaving at 8:56, [View Full Entry]

November Fest Europe » Germany » Bavaria » Munich
All, Well, I arrived in Munich today at 245 with a bittersweet feeling in my stomach. This is the last stop of my trip, and as excited as I am to see the sights and drink more unreal Weissbier, it also means that the trip is over. But, I cant dwell on that. So, after checking in, I headed for the HofbrauHaus, and it was pretty cool, just like you see on tv. I had the Weissbier and then the Weissbier mixed with lemonade which is one of their specialties as well. Then I came back to the hostel and the [View Full Entry]

Swice Capades Europe » Switzerland » South-West » Interlaken
All, Well, luckily, Friday was a WOW day here in Switzerland.It was one of those days that gave me chills, and showed me the reason why I am traveling. It actually started out on a bad note, by coming face to face with one of the most notorious Hostel villians ... the cold shower! .. dun dun dun . This shower was so cold this morning, that I actually got a brain freeze while in it, now that is cold. After that fiasco, I decided to drop the hundred bones, and travel to the Jungfrau, the so called Top of Europe. [View Full Entry]

Puck Time
Glacier from Jungfrau
Fondue!

All, Well, after the horrendous travel day of Wednesday, I was rewarded with an awesome day yesterday. I woke up early and just kind of walked around Interlaken, getting to know the city. After the bustling capitol cities I have been in during recent days, Interlaken is a sleepy little village, so that is actually kind of refreshing. After the walk and breakfast, I headed out solo to the train line that heads up into the mountains and eventually ends up at the Jungfrau, the highest point in Europe that people can go to. The main stop was Lauterbrunnen, where [View Full Entry]

Into the Alps Europe » Switzerland » South-West » Interlaken
All, Well, unfortunately, today was a throw away day, I left Prague at 9am, and just arrived to Interlaken, Switzerland a short time ago. It was an extremely long day. It started out on the wrong foot, as I forgot to validate my metro ticket in Prague, and somehow an undercover guy asked me to show him the validation, and since I forget to do that (i had just bought the ticket mind you), and I had to pay a $20 fine right there on the spot. The most frustrating part about it was that I had already made it to [View Full Entry]

Munich, My First Stop of a Long Travel Day
Good Old Hooters in Interlaken
Interlaken

All, Well, today was a great one. I had a couple Amazing Race moments, which is always a reminder of kinda why I am traveling. So, I woke up at 9, which is like noon on this trip, since most days, I have been waking up at 6ish. I woke up, and went to Old Town Prague to rent a bike. Well, both bike shops were closed, and I was getting really frustrated. So, I wandered into a travel agency, and asked the people working if they knew anything about bike rentals, and not only did they, the one guyl knew [View Full Entry]

Awesome Brew
Bohemian Feast
Old Town Square

All, Well, yesterday was another interesting one. I left Berlin and hopped the train to Prague, or as they spell it here, Praha and headed south to the Czech Republic. I was pretty darn tired from night out before, but I could not sleep on the train, because after about two hours into the trip, the scenery turned amazing, and I just could not take my eyes off it. Lots of rolling rivers, nestled in mountains and just cool little villages everywhere. Something tells me the Swiss views will blow them away, but prior to this point, pretty much everything I [View Full Entry]

A little "Nightseeing"
Real World Style shower
Even the Computers are awesome at Miss Sophies

All, What is up? well, happy Monday from Berlin. I am about to hop a train to Prague, and that should be awesome, at least, "they say" it is awesome. So, last night I actually hoped on the pub crawl deal, and it was pretty cool. for 10 Euros you got a free shot at all bars, I of course not being a shot guy handed them off to others. I just sipped on the Weissbier all night. It of course is Hefeweizen, but just a step above the Schlafly or the Blvd Wheat, to say the least. It is so [View Full Entry]

Weissbier
Rolling out of town
Best Train Station

All, That is what I am sipping on here in a the Aufsturz pub in Berlin. They have an awesome internet kiosk at the bar that you can use for free. I have often thought that this would be a great idea for bars in the states. I mean, what better way to settle all those drunken arguments or to check żour fantasy teams, you know? It is safely behind glass, to avoid any suds soaked shenanigans. On a side bar, downtown Berlin has more Starbucks than St. Louis, hands down! Seems to be one on every corner. I took a [View Full Entry]
