We're back! Still recovering from a Roman Flu, but feeling oh so enlightened
Here are some pictures I took over in Britannia and Italia
London - The Tower of London from the Thames. That phallic shaped building is 30 St. Mary's Axe. Dildo jokes abound.
Venice - Classic scene. Side canal with quintissential gondolas.
Florence - The Duomo (Main Cathedral) at dusk.
Siena - Piazza del Campo and a shot of the surrounding Tuscan countryside.
Rome - St. Peter's Square as seen from the dome of St. Peter's Basilica
and what would it be without the warm greeting that all Italians love to display, even their dead saints
Ciao!

well what would you consider interesting? Just wandering the streets of any of those cities was immensely fascinating for me. Just imagine any given city block there has perhaps seen more history that all of Canada.
We ate some really wierd crap like squid ink spaghetti and egg pizza, all downed with crappy but cheap and plentiful house wine ($5/L!). Drinking in England was especially interesting, found out the hard way that 1 pint = about 3 beers.
I found staying in B&Bs (i.e. rented rooms), albeit less comfortable, more rewarding than staying in hotels. Met some really friendly fellow travellers, which counterbalanced the relatively rude reception we recieved from the locals.
Things like wandering into a renaissance ceremony re-enactment, figuring out Italian bus schedules, or having an 11oclock dinner on a pitch black street next to a canal. Well, those can't really be described |

Europe in late-May? you gotta plan ahead for some places unless you want to spend the night at the train station. Usually saw the Must-sees of a city in the first day or two, then just chilled and saw some lesser known stuff the rest of the days. I would have loved to just travelled spontaneously, but with 2 weeks you don't have much slack to work with.
I love planning for trips, it may not be half the fun but its definately a good part of it!

how did you find out of the bed and breakfasts that were there? is there a listing online somewhere or in a travel guide? Seems like a much better way to travel than using a hostel or a hotel.

Seems like a much better way to travel than using a hostel or a hotel. | word of mouth from friends www.tripadvisor.com (search the city, then by B&B tabs) www.venere.com very good site for booking, although I hear you pay a bit of a premium for using them.
Alot of places are hit or miss, so you have to go by user testimonials.

Hey guys! This thread is still alive! hahaha Greece was awesome. Egypt and Jordan was great too. I'll try and remember to post a few pics for you guys. I've started editing my Greece ones.
I'm off to Botswana and South Africa for a safari next.
Nice pics Matt! I love Italy and Florence is my favorite city there.
I'm 90% sure I'll be back for Xmas so it'll be nice to get to see everyone if possible!

hahaha yeah i'll be back with some luck
Definitely hit the islands. You only need 2 maybe 3 days in Athens and then off island hopping. Crete was great. It's the biggest island with lots to see. Santorini is also very pretty. It's smaller but it has the nice beaches (white, red and black sand!). Mykonos is overrated. It's got great night life but not much to see. Rhodes is supposed to be nice but it was too far for us to get there in the short time we had. Quote: Originally posted by CivicBlues oh crap the mack is back!

hahaha I will  I'm almost done going through them.
I flew Swiss Air through Zurich. I don't have to pay for my airfares so i don't care about costs. hahaha I fly business class too. hehe
If you're going from Vancouver it's probably cheaper to go through London. Quote: Originally posted by CivicBlues post pics man!

hahaha They are all vacations of course but my company pays for my airfare as part of my compensation for being out here.  I get a total of 12 weeks vacation which also makes up for it. hehe Quote: Originally posted by CivicBlues wtf! are these vacations or business trips? |
