Vienna to Prague to Munich to Switzerland to Germany (again) to Amsterdam to London

Ok, so I am still alive... but the last 2 weeks have been a little insane... more so than usual!

so from Venice we made our way to Vienna, which was crazy! our first night we attended a Mozart/Strauss Concert which was great, nice to see a number of tv advertisements ripping off the greats :)

The euro cup was also being played in vienna while we were there, which made driving, sightseeing and general movement within the city ... interesting, to say the least.

Had 2 full days in Prague, where we saw Charles Bridge, the most photographed bridge in Prague, also the bridge at the end of the movie XXX (go Vin Deisel). Also had a bike tour through the city which was fun, especially on the cobblestones.

After Prague we had one night in Munich... 2 words... beer hall :) nothing like a litre of beer to celebrate octoberfest... oh no wait... only 4 months too early!!

Then onto the beautiful switzerland, and swiss alps, where we went to the top of europe, also known as jangfrau, some 11,000 feet up! was a great day out, had a snow fight, did snow angels, wrote in the snow... with our hands!!! get your mind out of the gutter only boys can do that!! we also attempted the snow man, but we were all to lazy to move the snow. :)

We then made it back into Germany were Birkenstock's are only 45 euro!! nice... here we stayed in Grandmas house... the most freakiest "hotel" in the world!! jesus rooms, dress up clothes, leaky ceilings and creepy locked cupboards. did i mention my own personal shower... next to my bed!!

once in the Netherlands we did a bike tour through edam then a visit to the clog factory and cheese factory... yes together. but funnily enough no cheese clogs???

Amsterdam was a blast, the first night we went to a sex show... yes a sex show... and thats all i will say on the matter :) and also took a walk through the red light district... its literally like window shopping, only for women... or not women... what ever your taste

the following day we went to Anne Franks house, which is now a museum, it was fascinating and really well laid out with excerpts from her diaries and photos from when they lived there.

After amsterdam we made our way back to london. where for good measure we all went to the bar... well going cold turkey would have been a bit of a shock to the system!

went to camden market on Saturday, where i met up with Hannah YAY!!!!!!!! friend i havnt seen in 3 years. was awesome to see her again after all that time.

yesterday we went to church... church is from 12 till 4 you have to buy 3 drinks at a time and the idea is to get as drunk as fast as you can. enough said...

today Narae, Brooke, Sam, Andre and I found a flat to move into, we can move in tomorrow, its a nice wee place and i have a nice wee room.

anyway thats enough... you may all breath a sigh of relief now :)

Wow, sounds like you've had a blast!

I can't believe you went to The Church in your first week. And straight after all that Contiki mayhem, too!

(although what's this 3 drinks at a time nonsense? I'm pretty sure it used to be 4 at a time, in a plastic bag...)
