So I’m just a TAD on the excited side that my long-awaited trip to Europe is now on the horizon! It seems like I have been planning this trip for a long time and dreaming of it for even longer.
Phil and I are booked to fly to Manchester at the end of July to meet up with my awesome family the Hunters to celebrate the wedding of my cousin Paul to his lovely Bride-to-Be Cathy. I am stoked to take in a proper English Country Wedding … and am even more excited to get to wear a big hat!
We’ll hang out there for a few days and then - WOOSH - its off to Amsterdam. We’re booked to stay at the famous (or infamous, depending on how you look at it) Flying Pig Hostel (Uptown) for 3 nights to take the city by storm. On the agenda is Van Gough Museum, Anne Franks House, Heineken Museum, Rembrandt Museum and lots of walking, biking and well, lets be honest … toking!
Then its off to Berlin! I am so, so, so excited to go to Germany. Its been on my list for years! We’ll be taking the super fast ICE train from Amsterdam and get into Berlin in a mere 6 hours. And the views are suppose to be stunning!
Again we’re booked into a very cool hostel in East Berlin, right across from the remaining fragments of the Wall. I’m really looking forward to taking in all the history and sights of the city, as well as the modern design and architecture it has to offer. And a few nights of partying in the hip town will of course be on the agenda.
After 4 nights there we are then heading off to the land of Castles – Prague. Again via ICE train we’ll be unpacking our bags in our amazing Old Town hostel, after a short 4 hr ride from Berlin. I can't wait for the cobble stone roads, free flowing pints and amazing gothic architecture. We’re also planning a trip to see The Bone Church Of Kutna Hora, how insane will that be?
Then its back to England, London to be specific, for a few days before we catch our flight home to Vancouver and I can't wait catch up and see some of my friends (Janna, Holly, Melody - that’s you!).
It’s a whirlwind trip with lots planned and I could care less how tired I will be, as this will be the trip to end all trips … well, to date at least …. We still have South Africa to plan for 2010!
