Road to Switzerland Four days left of tour. We've got some long drives ahead of us starting with today which will be about 12 hours. The drive is from Florence to Lauterbrunnen. Switzerland is fucking beautiful. Lakes, rivers, old mountains, lots of green grass, trees and snow in some areas. I think it's actually more beautiful then Austria, which is hard to beat. To put it into perspective, think of being present at a badass castle. You've got a deck chair and beer in your hand. You're about to witness Pairs Hilton get be-headed. All you can do is sit there, sigh and think "Man, this rules." Lucerne On the way to Lauterbrunnen, we stopped off at Lucerne. The city, like the scenery in Switzerland is beautiful. Clean, wicked scenery, full of attractive people and some ... read more

Rome Started off by catching the train to Rome. I was quite surprised that there were signs and videos on the train warning you to be careful of pick pockets. One of the guys from tour fainted at the train station and had to go home. Stink buzz for him. I think it's probably from too much drinking, so I wasn't sympathetic at all. First up an Imperial Walking Tour including the Roman Forum and the Colosseum. The Roman Forum We started off at the forum which kicked ass. Our guide was an elderly lady who to be completely honest was fucking boring. She told us some really interesting information every no wand again, but to be honest the majority of it was just her repeating herself or going too in depth on things that were ... read more

Venice We started off the day nice and early and caught the boat into Venice. I was already sweating like crazy by the time we arrived there. We went and saw a guy make a glass vase and a glass horse. It took him about 2 minutes to make both ofthem. Then off to a lace making place which was pretty fucking boring. We then had a free day to do whatever we wanted. I needed some sunglasses and Mecha knew of a place where you could get cheap branded ones. I thought id spoil myself and bought some for 85 Euro ($170 nz). This was the first thing ive bought for myself all tour. I look like a smooth pimp daddy wearing them and they dont give me headaches. After that, we pretty much just ... read more

Computer Im using sucks the bean bags and doesnt have a apostrophe. Hopfgarten Left munich and headed into Hopfgarten, Austria. As you enter the country youre surrounded by the greenest grass, most beautiful hills and clearest rivers youve ever seen. I know it makes me sound like a batty pirate describing it like that, but it is truely a spectacular sight. We arrive ast our cabins in to see the reps waving. We all wave the entire time as soon as we see them. A rep gets on the bus to give us the run down. What she doesnt know is that while she is trying to do her speech, the whole bus is trying to put her off. The first four rows are all male except for one girl in the front row aisle seat. ... read more

Prague Today was the first day on tour we actually got to sleep in. Our first activity wasn't until 11:45am, which was the River Cruise and lunch. The lunch was really good, first decent meal I've had on this tour. Lots of vegetarian options including deep fried Colliflower. It was alright but nothing to rave about. The cruise was really nice. You really start to appreciate how awesome Prague actually is. Lots of girls kept saying how in love with the City they were, so it must mean something good. There's not really much more to say about the cruise except that it was mean. Look at the photos (when I finally upload them). We then branched off into groups and went shopping. Prague's full of crystal shops. There was seriously crazy amounts. The first one ... read more
