The Sleeping Beauty castle
September 7th, 2007Steps: 8,200 – too much sitting on the train for four hours!
We went on a guided tour of Neuschwanstein castle, rumoured to be the inspiration behind Disney’s Sleeping Beauty castle.
The whole world at my feet...
This blog is for my family and friends, to let them know my plans and predicaments, my adventures and experiences. To let them know when I'm on the move or staying put, and maybe even when I'm coming home - don't count on it anytime soon though! Enjoy...you are always on my mind, or at least at the back of my mind :-)Münich, the beer capital. But for us, the friendly capital.
September 5th, 2007It was fricken freezing this morning and the cold had left us with a fresh layer of snow as well as half frozen to death in our rooms.
Cold follows us: bbbrrrrr!
September 4th, 2007Steps: 14,600
I woke up with my throat feeling slightly better and the mountains woke up with a fresh layer of snow.
Team Mara paddle!
September 3rd, 2007Steps: 8,500 plus rafting!
We didn’t get up til 10 today, but when we did move our butts it was one of thos surreal “walk out and be surrounded by the Swiss Alps” moments – beautiful.
Busabout begins…
September 2nd, 2007We were up early this morning to join the BusAbout tous – destination: Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland.
Monacco…vrooom!
September 1st, 2007Steps: 23,042
Blame it on Monacco – we got up and caught the 10.05 to Monacco, with much difficulty – first we had to try and buy the tickets, then we had to find the train – it was one of those six seater booth trains like in the old days, but we did get ‘Eurotrip’ flashbacks! hehe
Nice is nice
August 31st, 2007Day One
After a two and a half hour train trip from London to Paris, switching train stations via the metro in Paris and hopping on board a five and a half hour train ride to Nice, we are finally here.
Buh-bye!
August 30th, 2007Well, we take off early tomorrow morning for our six week trip around western Europe with a week’s sailing around Croatia afterwards.
Honestly, I don’t know what the internet access is like, or if I can be bothered paying for it. So if you hear from me that’s all cool, otherwise you may just have to wait for the next updates.
Love you all, miss you heaps. Catch you on the flip side xoxo
p.s. German sausages, Italian mozzarella, Swiss chocolate, French crepes – here we come!!!
We Will Rock You!!!
August 30th, 2007I wasn’t sure what to expect with the musical based around Queen’s greatest hits, but it definitely was a sound and lighting masterpiece.
Warning: this is a spoiler so don’t read it unless you really want to know.
Bank Holiday Weekend – Plays, Trains and Carnivale!
August 28th, 2007As you know, we got tickets to see Footloose on Saturday night, so what should we do on Friday night other than hire the original film with Kevin Bacon and have a movie night.
