Europe » Germany » Bavaria » Berchtesgaden April 22nd 2007

Ja, es geht weiter und ab dieser Woche ist Dienstbeginn 7.30 Uhr. Ahhh, das ist ja sooo früh! Ein Glück ist Friedericke morgens genauso drauf wie ich, da bekommen wir uns dann wenigstens nicht in die Haare. Montags ging es damit los, dass wir eine Führung am Königssee mit einer fünften Klasse hatten. Klausi hat diese Führung übernommen und Heike, Friedericke und ich sollten uns das mal angucken, damit wir dann am Donnerstag die Führung mit vorbereiten konnten. Wir sind dann etwas früher los, um noch zur Eiskapelle zu wandern, wo wir dann auch Mittagspause gemacht haben. Lustige Geschichte mit der Eiskapelle. Hierbei handelt es sich um ein Schneefeld, das von darüber liegenden Schneefeldern gespeist wird und logischerweise vom Wasser unterspült ist, dadurch bildet sich eine Art Kuppel (das kann man auf den Bildern aus ... read more

The long trip home Europe » Germany » Frankfurt By peteandshirlApril 22nd 2007 We are now in Frankfurt, two days here to "prepare" ourselves for the flight home, I am probably being a bit over dramatic because I decided to break the 25 hour flight with another stopover in Singapore. I think a night at Raffles wont be hard to take. The purpose of this blog was mainly to catch up with all the photos. I need to back track to Berlin, so the photos will follow our trip from there. We had so much fun in Berlin, staying with Nicole for 3 days whist we all explored this fantastic city. Too much shopping, too much eating and I think you will see from these photos a lot of laughing. Next will be Hamb... read more

Europe » United Kingdom » England » Lincolnshire » Scunthorpe April 22nd 2007

Hello All~ I have been getting tons of messages asking about more blogs. So here's the deal---we have moved into a house. We have been in the house for over 2 weeks and still don't have internet. Koi was able to download a wireless program to his computer but that means I can only use it when he's home from work. Also, it is very, very, very slow. Therefore, I can't download photos(there's also security things that won't allow it on his computer) and it is difficult to email b/c the service is so slow. I would love to go somewhere to use the internet but no one here has it! We are currently, finally, getting a landline connected today so we will be receiving our equipment for the internet sometime in the next 2 weeks. ... read more

Europe » Ireland » County Dublin » Dublin April 22nd 2007

its our last day in dublin. its been quite the stay. we basically managed to see everything in the city in one day...except for the guiness brewery, which we are planning on seeing today before we catch the bus back to london. yesterday we checked out a church and castle. we pretty much just wandered aroung though. there really isn't much to do during the day. at night the city is hopping though. we went pub hopping last night and met a bunch of students from various places in europe who have been studying here. we ended up tagging along with them all night. it was a good time...we're pretty tired now though. we can't wait to get to paris next! we have a studio apartment there. that'll be nice. we'll save some money by ... read more

Europe » Spain » Catalonia » Barcelona April 22nd 2007

Here in Barcelona at an internet cafe. Ive been here since Thursday night and will be leaving on Weds morning for the Peripignon area. Barcelona has treated me well, but I think it´s ranking about third in my big-city preferences. Maybe that will change after we go to the beach and wander around a bit more. I was a bit worried coming to spain not knowing more spanish than "hello," "goodbye" and "thank you," but it seems like more people know english here than in Paris. The city is fun and bustling, but I have yet to really lock into its vibe. Last night, Amy, Marie and I decided to go and explore Barcelona's night scene; however, our plans were cut short after an unexpected expense: sangria. You know, that wine/grape juice concoction that costs a ... read more

Europe » Spain » District of Madrid » Madrid April 22nd 2007

Ok, where do I start? Well, let´s just say i wasn´t so lucky catching my flights this time as i did last trip... So, i´m going to be on my fifth flight in a day and a half... So, I started at LAX to Cincinati, Cincinati to Atlanta, Atlanta to La Guardia, La Guardio to JFK (via taxi, hence part of my blog title), JFK to Madrid, and now Madrid to Barcelona... Let me just breathe a sigh of relief here. Ok, so there was suppose to be train somewhere in here but the train service has a holiday this Sunday, so that´s why i´m gonna be taking a plane to Barcelona. I have met some interesting characters. My flight to Madrid, i sat next to quite attractive girl that looked a bit like Selma Hayek ... read more

Europe » Spain » Valencian Community » Valencia April 22nd 2007

Hi all! So this week was not too interesting, I just stuck around Valencia and had some relaxing and fun times. The weather finally got better! I went to the beach in Valencia on Thursday afternoon, which was relaxing, just enjoying the sun and hanging out with friends. I was supposed to meet up with mom and dad for dinner, but they had fallen asleep earlier on the beach and dad was suffering from heat poisoning. So I ended up not seeing them before they left. But that is not a big deal because I will be going home in only a few weeks! It is sad to think about leaving, but at the same time I am excited to see friends and family and enjoy the summer at home. Friday I went to the beach ... read more

Europe » United Kingdom » England » West Yorkshire » Mytholmroyd April 22nd 2007

4-am saw me clocking off at work and heading home eager to get some sleep and join the other members of the Honda Owners Club, Three Shires Branch later that morning for a run out to Mytholmroyd near Hebden Bridge for the Dock Pudding World Championships. We met up at a 24-hour café on the A616 near junction 35A of the M1 at around 10-am, where a few of us had a snack or breakfast or just missed out because of the poor service. We set off around 10:30 for a very steady run over to Mytholmroyd. This is the kind of run that would have suited a pillion with little experience on the rear seat of a bike, someone like my wife but unfortunately she decided to say at home. We finally set off ... read more
