More photos have been added, click the link on the left. There is also a second album because the first one was getting too full, I’m sure you’ll be able to find it.

Day 17

Troy — Sun, 22 Apr 2007 12:14:00 +0000

On the road from Vienna to Munich today, fair bit of traveling. Ended up getting to Munich fairly late in the afternoon, quick shower and then off to dinner at a traditional German Beer Hall.

Vast quantities of beer were consumed, there is only one size to order, a stein, that holds about a litre of beer. You have to drink it fairly quickly as the glass steins don’t keep the beer cold for too long. Some of the guys on tour decided to kick on and try a few more beer halls in town, I piked and hit the bed.

I’m still alive

It has been a few days since I’ve made any updates, but they are on the way, along with some more photos.

Tour has finished and I’m back in London after two awesome days in Amsterdam, have to get my washing done and a few other bits and pieces but expect the last few days of the trip to be updated here in the near future

Just a quick one, I’ve managed to upload a batch of photos. Haven’t got any descriptions on them yet but they are from Rome onwards.

Still have another batch to get uploaded when I can get my iPod working again, damn thing has decided it doesn’t want to play any more.

Contiki Day 16

Troy — Thu, 12 Apr 2007 10:26:00 +0000

Spent the day wandering around Vienna today. Visited a schnapps museum of sorts, tried some of the local product and then off to dinner.

Contiki Day 15

Troy — Thu, 12 Apr 2007 10:21:00 +0000

Another day on the bus, this time from Venice, in Italy, to Vienna, in Austria. Stopped on the way and had some really nice roast pork for lunch whilst admiring the view of the Alps.

This evening in Vienna we went to a bit of a classical music concert. Being the home of a wide variety of classical composers like Mozart & Strauss it was appropriate. Heard some Mozart as well as a couple of opera singers and watched some ballet as well. All in all a rather cultured evening.

Contiki Day 14

Troy — Thu, 12 Apr 2007 10:13:00 +0000

Spent today wandering around Venice. Really nice city. It’s so much nicer walking around a city when there aren’t thousands of cars rushing around. As Venice is built on a swamp all of it’s traffic is on the canals, so no cars.

Had a nice lunch in a plaza with three old guys playing some music in the background, very pleasant. After that we had a gondola ride through some of the canals and then back to camp for the night.

Contiki Day 13

Troy — Thu, 12 Apr 2007 10:10:00 +0000

Rome to Venice today. Not a terribly exciting day, spent most of it on the bus.

Stopped at Verona on the way, apparently were the story of Romeo and Juliette is based. Had a look at the statue of Juliette and the balcony where she was wooed.

Back on the bus and arrived in Venice just in time for dinner.

Contiki Day 12

Troy — Thu, 12 Apr 2007 10:00:00 +0000

Much quieter day today than yesterday. Bit of a walking tour around the Roman ruins and Colosseum in Rome and then the Trevi fountain and the Spanish Steps. After that caught the train back to the camp site and spent the afternoon in the sun drinking red wine and eating anti pasto. A very enjoyable afternoon.
