Well, my jetlagged butt is home now.  It’s effectively 3 in the morning for me, but I need to stay awake for at least another hour.  As I got 2 seats to myself for both the Schiphol to Heathrow and Heathrow to Pearson legs of the trip, it was a pretty decent flight.  Getting to [...]

Yesterday was one mostly of travel. After we left Switzerland we stopped at Heidelburg to see a castle. I walked up the hill to see the view, but I didn’t go in mostly for time reasons. We stayed at a small house turned hostel, which had crumby food and was in a town [...]

A couple of people from the group were heading to the top of Jungfrau, but I opted not to go given the serious cost and the fact that I’ve seen snow before.  I also needed a bit of a down day, but that notion kind of went out the window once I found out that [...]

The beer hall last night was awesome.  We left Munich early this morning for the long ride to Switzerland.  One of the people on the bus noted that a lot of swiss people look like pirates.  Popular fashion for men seem to include capri pants and vests.  Combined with long hair, Laussane looked like it [...]

So it turns out the schnapps I bought yesterdaz wasn´t schnapps.  It was too strong to drink straight and I didn´t have anything to mix with so I watched “Old School” without drinking.  No biggie.  Just a nice little lesson about making sure you know what kind of alcohol you´re drinking.
We visited the Dachau concentration [...]

Today was also rich in awesome, that is after my morning walk.  We went biking around the nearby hills (I don’t say mountain because we didn’t do anything that hardcore) for the morning and had a BBQ at lunch at a quaint little hunting lodge.  After a quick bike (downhill) to the Chalet a couple [...]

We’re in Austria right now.  After leaving Venice we crossed the border and went white water rafting.  It was actually the first time I’ve ever gone, but it was amazingly fun.  The beautiful moutains in the background didn’t take away from the experience.  Of course, even with the wetsuit, the 4 degree water was quite [...]

Just came back from Venice, it is a gorgeous city.  Sure there are the canals, but the streets are pedestrian only, which means no Italian drivers and thus my blood pressure was a little lower for the day.
Our campsite is on the far side of some river, so we had to take a boat across [...]
