After spending a few nights in Zurich which, although expensive, is a nice city situated on a huge lake which we attempted to ride round but found it was just too big. We did as the locals were doing and lounged by the lake after a refreshing swim. Flew ... Read more >

Who do you support?

GERMANY | Thursday, 29 Jun 2006 | Views [342]

One argument we have every now and then (usually after we have had a few) is a question of what team you support. Most people would think that you would support the team of the country you come from but we have found people who do not. One girl we met ... Read more >

A variety of experiences!

GERMANY | Tuesday, 20 Jun 2006 | Views [384]

One thing that I have seen here that was hilarious was the day we all went on the pub crawl of the beer gardens and 300 of us at a time tried to pack onto a two carriage tram. The people on the tram did not know what had hit them. One packed in like sardines ... Read more >

Munich rocks!

GERMANY | Saturday, 17 Jun 2006 | Views [366]

Munich is awesome. It was a bit of a drama getting here after out 4 hour bus trip turned into about 6 and a half hours due to major highway closures from accidents. Hit the town the night and we were sold straight from the start. The women here are quite ... Read more >
