This part of the trip was one of my favourites. Rimini is a party town but full of Germans, a bit like their version of Magaluf or somewhere British young people go. Our hostel called the Jammin party hostel lived up to it's name. When we arrived we went down to the beach and just sat looking out to the sea as this was our first time at a beach resort. That night we decided to go to bed early, the German girls in our room were going out and their male friends were there. A while after they left the boys burst back into the room and demanded that Ally kiss them!!! She didn´t luckily and since then we have tried to stay away from groups of German boys. The next day we hired sun ... read more

Me and Ally arrived in Geneva via Lyon after a long train journey through some picturesque countryside. We decided to go straight to the main attraction of the city: The Jet De L'eau, which is in Lake Geneva and is an impressive jet of water that reaches 140ft. However, it wasn't switched on due to the bad weather that seemed to be following us about. We had a look in the tourist shops and I was shocked out how pricey everything was though I did purchase a Swiss Army knife which has come in pretty handy with controlling Ally. A sandwhich was about 10 francs (~£8!!!) We had cheap noodles for dinner, and even they were 10x the cost of British cheap noodles! In the evening we watched the film 300 in the common room and ... read more

Sorry it's been a while the Internet situation has been pretty bad, the last blogs weren't very detailed because it's hard to write everything in 15 minutes. On the 14th we arrived in Liege in Belgium, the station looked like the set of a futuristic space movie. Ally used her french for the first time to buy a bus ticket and I just went 'what she said'. Our hostel was really nice though it did feel like a prison as the walls and ceilings were concrete blocks. We went exploring and found ourselves in the main square but it started raining so we took refuge in new look, where I bought warmer clothes. That evening we decided on pizza for dinner but when we got to the kitchen we realized that there were no ovens, microwaved ... read more

This trip got off to a good start, as we were checking in a T mobile flash mob advert started to be filmed in the airport. Also thanks to Ally's dad we got fast tracked through security. After a quick flight we landed, our first task was to get to the centre of Amsterdam. Getting lost seems to be a main theme for us at the moment but we always get there in the end. We also realised just how heavy backbacks are, so operation use up as much stuff as possible to make it weigh less has begun! We got to our hostel, it's in a really nice posh area. Though our room consists of a bunk bed and a desk there isn't enough room to swing a cat! But we are on the top ... read more
