I meant to write a wrap-up of my Europe trip around xmas time, but I didn’t. Anyway, I got back home on Dec 24, after a very tiresome three day trip from London via France and Belgium. I don’t regret it, though, as the trip back let me meet new people and see interesting things. …
As my flight from London was canceled, and I couldn’t get another one before xmas, I decided to try to get to Brussels (Belgium) and fly from there to home on Thursday. Tomorrow morning I will travel to Dover, take a ferry to Calais (France), and the take trains to Brussels. I don’t know how …
I woke up and took the Eurostar train from Paris to London. Naturally they didn’t have any “interrail seats” available, but I couldn’t care less about the money as I was just willing to get to London and closer to getting home. I started feeling a bit odd in the way, and in the tunnel …
After sleeping the whole day, I couldn’t get sleep until 6 AM or something. When I was supposed to get up, well, I just got up this time. I can be surprising like that! It took a while to get things done, though, as I’m not the quickest person alive when I’m tired. I also …
I’m now in London, and won’t be out of here until Monday morning. I’m feeling ill, though, so let’s see if I’m able to hit the Municipal Waste gig tonight.
The train to Paris only took 5 h 45 min, and the trip went surprisingly fast. I realized I had started to lose the final restraints in travelling alone, and going through the Paris Métro (the underground), with connections and all, felt very normal and easy. I wandered a while trying to find the hotel, …
As I had no reservations made for the night in Torino, I walked to the first hotel I saw, or actually the first one that didn’t look too expensive considering my modest need of just getting a place to stay. The friendly old lady of Hotel Bologna booked me in, and I went to the …
I arrived at Rome in the night, and it wasn’t the first time Google Maps had deceived me. I didn’t find my hotel, and the check-in was to closing at 11:30 PM. Eventually, my only chance was to use the expensive internet connection on my phone, and use, yes, Google Maps. This time I understood …
Judging by the looks of the streets of Napoli, they might have originally invented plague there, but definitely not the plaque. I arrived very early in the morning, and finding the hostel I had booked was very hard due to the sparse usage of street signs. Also, what you see on the map is not …
I’m currently in Torino, Italy, and will be going to Paris tonight. After staying in Paris for 2-3 nights, the plans are open. I will most probably start heading towards home, though, as I don’t want to be stuck anywhere in the xmas time.
I went through Napoli fairly quickly, and am now in Rome. I will leave on Monday night, and I don’t know where, yet. Either towards Spain, or then via France, Belgium and Holland towards home. More about the Napoli and Rome experiences and The Decision later.
I came to Palermo at night, and it took a while for me to find my hostel. I had been walking the right street twice, but – another lesson learned – I didn’t know they don’t usually put any signs about their existence on the streets. Eventually I found the buzzer, and got in. Riccardo, …
I arrived at Riga at around 22:30, and took the pre-reserved shuttle (yeah, I’m adventurous like that) to the hotel. After checking in, I decided it was the time to make myself familiar with the local bars. Sunday bloody sunday. Almost all the places were closed, apart from the filthy night clubs, and the only …
I will be travelling alone in Europe from December 5 to xmas. I’ll hit Palermo (Sicily) first, and continue wherever I want to go. I will most probably start getting to North Italy, then to Spain, and eventually fly closer to home (Paris, maybe) where from I will be interrailing back home. Still, apart from …
