Our train journey was a complete disaster we had noisy kids on the train and topped with trying to sleep and a conductor announcing stops in four languages we didnrsquot get much sleep. On arrival in Berlin we had pretty strict instructions about how to find our http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Germany/North-Rhine-Westphalia/D-sseldorf/blog-420538.html Today was about rest and relaxation... as Gail was still sick and we just needed a day to totally relax. We went to Dusseldorf and booked our 37 hour train... yes that right from Slovakia to Athens... no idea how we making that one We then went to the movies and saw Bruno... and after the effort spent getting to the movie house and the effort spent to make sure the movie was English Well the mo http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Germany/North-Rhine-Westphalia/D-sseldorf/blog-420352.html For the second time modern technology with all its advancements and internet gadgets has destroyed a great piece of creative writing one of my Blog entries. However seeing as this will inevitably be my last one for this journey I shall try to retrieve it in full glory in order to finish strong.

Well I did only get to see Phillips halle to see Nine Inch Nails NIN play the main station and also my hostel as I was only there for a day and a half and just met heaps of peeps and spoke crap in the hostel. First night I arrived around 7pm spoke to a guy from America for about 2 hours and then went to bed.Next day I lazed around met a few guys fr http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Germany/North-Rhine-Westphalia/D-sseldorf/blog-414153.html O meu primeiro post neste blog deveria ser mesmo d'eu falando da cidade onde estou morando na Alemanha.

Good thing om only here a couple days. The rhine is beautiful as always and i got to sit on the beach and chill out for a couple hours and start reading a book. I bought Angels and Demons because it is nice to have http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Germany/North-Rhine-Westphalia/D-sseldorf/blog-405215.html Vi vgner op lidt i syv nste morgen af at solen skinner hele stuen op.

I simply try to make up for lack of excitimg http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Germany/North-Rhine-Westphalia/D-sseldorf/blog-390945.html The week leading up to our first travel weekend was mostly spent on recovery. I was still a little sick from Amsterdam and I hadn't yet realized how short four days can be between trips. Classes were entering their second week the syllabi were handed out and real work was setting in. The idea of a new country every weekend still seemed like distant dream and it wasn't until Thursday night http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Germany/North-Rhine-Westphalia/D-sseldorf/blog-372073.html I did not had time to really make up my mind and imagine what it would be in like in Thailand. The backpack was just bought the day before but everything was ready for departure from the Train Station in Utrecht to Dusseldorf in Germany.Like the famous song in Portugal says it it so charming at the time to say goodbye. That was my feeling about Utrecht on the last days.

We had a picture perfect hostel to match the grandeur of the dom. For those that havent had the pleasure of going to the Dom it is a Cathedral of immense preportions and is the resting place of the three wise men. Although if they were so wise why dont they have a bigger shrine Well maybe 2 out of the 3 deserve a be http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Germany/North-Rhine-Westphalia/D-sseldorf/blog-324640.html Da es bereits morgens um 0500 Uhr war dachte ich mir dass es ueberhaupt keine Sinn mehr hat mich ueberhaupt noch hinzulegen. Also packte ich schnell meine Sachen und verabschiedete mich von meiner Zimmerkollegin Anne und zog von Dannen. Im Mc Donalds gegenueber stellte ich fest dass meine Geldboerse nicht da war. Zurueck Anne nachmals aufwecken und nochmals los. Da ging ja mal gut los.So nu http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Germany/North-Rhine-Westphalia/D-sseldorf/blog-324170.html Stayed 4 days with my Couchsurfing friend Patrick.

A las 8 ya estbamos arriba del auto sin tener el menor plan donde ir aunque si sabamos la vuelta que queramos dar. Al final entre charla y charla decidimos comenzar por Alemania. La primer ciudad que nos pareca interesante para conocer era Dsseldorf as http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Germany/North-Rhine-Westphalia/D-sseldorf/blog-301860.html I'm sitting in Dsseldorf Germany.
