Europe trip photos
I've uploaded most of the photos taken with my iPhone during the Europe trip on Facebook. And it took me quite a while to tag each of them. Anyway, here they are...
Europe Trip '08 - Part 1: Holland/Amsterdam, Austria/Innsbruck
Europe Trip '08 - Part 2: Italy - Verona, Florence, Venice, Vatican City, Rome
Europe Trip '08 - Part 3: Italy continued... Rome, Pisa, etc.
Not all the photos are up. Please have patience. I was planning to blog more about the trip but I can't write all the details. This is just a brief recap of where we've been.
Day 1 - Dover, Calais (France), lunch on SeaFrance, Belgium for chocolates, campsite at Uitdam, near Marken (Netherlands)
Day 2 - Volendam, Amsterdam, Van Gogh museum, canal cruise, sex musem, red light district (window shopping/prostitutes display behind windows and ganja/cannabis)
Day 3 - Germany - Rhein valley, Koblenz, Frankfurt, sausage and beer
Day 4 - Ulm, Neushwanstein castle, then headed to Austria
Day 5 - Innsbruck, Tirol (famous for Swarovski crystals and apple struddles), Austria. Reached Italy - Trentino (vineyards), stopped by at Verona (Romeo & Juliet), campsite at Fusina
Day 6 - Venice (San Marco, famous for Murano glass, lace, Venitian masks and Gondola ride through the canals), pizza & pasta
Day 7 - Florence, statue of David (and his signature penis), Ponte Vechio (and the very expensive Italian gelato). Reached campsite at Rome
Day 8 - Visited Vatican City (St. Peter's basilica, Vatican museum, Sistine Chapel, marvelled at the works of Michaelangelo), Roman Colloseum, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Hard Rock Cafe
Day 9 - Pisa (the famous leaning tower) and cheap sunglasses
Day 10 - Journey to Switzerland, passed St. Gotthard, Brienezersee, arrived at Lauterbrunnen
Day 11 - Tram ride from Lauterbrunnen - Kleine Scheidegg - Jungfraujoch. Played with snow. Bought Swiss army knife, but no money to buy Swiss watch (Rolex, Tissot, Cartier, Tagheuer)
Day 12 - Stopped at Interlaken for cappucino (apparently the best in Europe), passed Wankdorf, Bern, Le Locle. Arrived at France.
Day 13 - PARIS!!! Perfume at Fragonard, visited Notre Dame cathedral, didn't make it to the Louvre, visited Arc de Triumpe, Avenue de Champs Elysees, the Eiffel tower, Moulin Rouge and ate crepes.
Day 14 - Disneyland Paris!!! Roller coasters, rides, the usual exciting stuff. Damn I am so jealous Bubu and FeiBub get to take photos with Prince Caspian!! But I went on Aerosmith (360 degrees roller coaster), Tower of Terror (something like Solero Shot in Genting), and Big Thunder Mountain. Yeah!
Day 15 - Calais to Dover, back to London.
There you have it. Lovely trip. Really enjoyed it!!!
