Twig's European Adventure

Paris

Munich

Venice

Greece

I left Myknonos yesterday afternoon on a highspeed ferry to the mainland then caught an overcrowded bus to the airport and a plane to London. I still claim that Heathrow is the worst airport ever but thats me.
The Underground to Russell Square, I am really starting to get the hang of their public transport system. At Russell Square station I bumped into a group of girls that I had met at Mykonos and are just about to start there tour of Europe.
Checked into a hotel (£62 cries... $150AU) and slept.

New day and time to find a place to stay long term... no bloody hotels.

Here we are at the end of my tour. After an extra day in Mykonos, lots of Alcohol, a dose of sun stroke and beachs with nudity. I now leave the sunny part of the European Union and prepare for the not sunny part.

Things Richard did in Mykonos;

Drink a Devils Tongue (a cocktail with 11 different alcohols and a dash of orange juice)
Lied on a beach for 3 hours
Lied on a beach for 2 hours
Lied on a beach for 2 hours
Toga'ed it up for a resort party
Drank more
Ate some food
Lied on a beach for 2 hours
Went to different beach and drank there

Well my Road to Athens tour has ended and now I am at Mikionos Contiki resort. The sun is out in full, drank to much last night and a toga party is the place to be tonight.

Now a summary of the Road to Athens with word assocation;

London - Ordered Chaos
Paris - Ego
Lucerne - Stunning
Munich - Beer
Venice - Random
Florence - Art
Rome - Melbourne
Pisa - Getto
Corfu - Cocktails
Athens - Concrete

We are back and in Greece. After the chaos of the last week and a half, Greece was a godsend. Yesterday after arriving in Corfu off the ferry at 5 in the morning we went to the hotel and couldn't check in and waited for breakfast and then went to a boat and spent the day swimming and lying around in the Greek sun on crystal waters.

Lets reverse time... Italy. What to say about Italy, their monuments are very cool. Even the monuments that were stuff ups e.g. the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Venice is a marvel of a water born city. Thats where the coolness stops, the food is shit, the service is non-existent and hole in the ground toilets are something else. I also broke and lost my sun glassses in Florance.

Germany was great even in its briefness. The beers halls are excellent, even after yours truly felt the effect of 3 litres of beer the next morning. We stopped quickly in Austria and has some strudel... awesome stuff.

Through the mountains of Switzerland and the town of Lucerne. This has some of the most spectacular scenery I have ever seen. This is where I also go the chance to try some awesome chocolate and buy a Swiss watch (I really got sick of the mobile phone clock).

Paris [audible sigh]... Paris is my favorite so far, this stunning city never stopped amazing me. I will have to write more on this later.
