Recap


For those who haven't been receiving weekly spam from me, heres a quick recap.

Currently about 1 month (feels like so much longer though!) through an awesome trip in Europe.

I originally headed to Europe as part of a journey to the World Youth Day (http://www.worldyouthday.com.au/), with a whole bunch of fellow Australians. Since then, I've have been backpacking around mostly by myself for the past few weeks and having a insane time!

Already covered:

  • Athens
  • Greek Islands (Tinos, Mikanos)
  • Turkey (Ephesus)
  • Poland
  • Prague (in Czech Republic)
  • Cologne (in Germany) for the World Youth Day (along with about 1 million others - crazy stuff)
  • Rome
  • Naples (Pompeii)
  • Florence
  • Venice
  • Vienna (in Austria)
  • Budapest (in Hungary)
  • Zurich (in Switzerland)
  • Interlaken / Lauterbrunnen / Lucern
  • Nice (in France)

Still to do:

  • Work my way through France, passing through Monaco, Cannes, before arriving in Spain
  • Buzz through Barcelona and Madrid
  • Bounce across the border to Paris
  • Blitz my way into Amsterdam, as well maybe Belgium
  • Hop across to Munich (Germany) just in time for ... wait for it - Oktoberfest! (yeah the real one you UNSWers!) to join some old school-mates to get ridiculously hammered.
  • Head to London where I will meet up with Dad who suddenly caught the travel bug. Will tour Europe for another month. Will probably visit Italy, France and Switzerland again.

Then, passing through Singapore to the motherland (Hongkyland) for a few months. Cousins wedding and a lot of of (window) shopping, because I'll probably have about $0.20 in my account by then. Depending upon what happens, may even visit Thailand. Woot.

Arrive back in Sydney sometime in January or February next year.

Phew.
