I just bought a ticket...and thus altered my original plan. I will now *gasp* skip Roskilde Festival. That's right, for the first time in six years I will miss Roskilde. I won't be going to Denmark at all.
Instead - in the interest of saving money and time- I will fly directly to
Berlin. I plan on hanging around eastern Germany for a bit, seeing the important Holocaust-related sights, jumping to Guben
for the Plastinarium before rolling over to
Prague to see commie-related things, Kutná Hora and eat weird cheesy things. From there it's on to
Krakow for more Holocaust things, saltmines and the Museum of Insurance before heading to Hungary -
Budapestto be accurate- for some more communism and weird museums, including ones devoted to phones, mail service, ambulances and catering. And goulash. Can't forget goulash. I'm not sure there's actually a goulash museum, but...there just might be. From there I'll go to
Beograd for some riots and stuff before checking out
Zagreb. Does anyone know of any interesting places there? Frankly, I can't see anything on the interweb. After aimlessly wandering about in Z. for a bit I'll jump on a train to lovely
Ljubljana, home of dragons and birthplace of arch-genius Slavoj iek. After that, Italy, probably
Venice and
Cinque Terre before the magic of rural France and gay
Paris call me. I shall end my adventure in the welcoming bosom of my (so far) favourite city, the amazing
Amsterdam.
Ah. The anticipation. The planning. The long, long wait! *Sigh*
