Home, Home on the Rhine

After showing a group of campers how to make a bonfire in Munich, we started what became a huge communal fire where we met people from all over. We were staying at a place called "The Tent" which was a series a massive tents with bunk after bunk of beds in them. Thank goodness we […]

Half way there

Time is kind of a funny thing. When you keep busy, time flies… but at the same time it could be said that Budapest feels like weeks ago. After Budapest we took one hell of a long train ride to Salzburg. Going to be honest here: Salzburg was MUCH nicer than Vienna. We checked into […]

Round 3

Seems like a distant memory, but it’s hard to believe only 6 weeks ago we signed up for our first pub crawl in Edinburgh… then less than 1 week after that we did one in Dublin. We had sworn off pub crawls after we saw the dent they left in our wallets… until of course, […]

This isn’t Disneyland… it’s Amsterdam

So, we left off in Leuven, Belgium… wow, that feels like ages ago! Been a while since the last update. Internet time has been rather limited lately. After Leuven, we caught our bus to Rock Werchter, a 4 day rock concert with an 80,000 person capacity, over 60 bands and super strong beer! Day 1: […]

Final days in the UK

After leaving Cardiff, we took the train down to Salisbury to catch the bus to Stonehenge. Upon arriving in Stonehenge, we spoke with a Druid who was telling us all about the festivities over the last few days. We setup our tent for the first time and prepared for 2 days of relaxing/camping. The first […]

Luck of the Irish

After the 2nd period of the Canucks game, we headed to sleep in Belfast. Waking up a couple hours later to catch the early train north to Coleraine (activating our EuroPasses). From here we caught a bus to the Giant’s Causeway. After spending an hour or so here, we headed back down south to Belfast, […]

Nessy to Belfast

Well, after pulling an all-nighter watching game 6 (starting at 1am here) with a bunch of drunk Scot’s, we decided to go back into our room to get some shut-eye before our train back down to Glasgow. Well, after about 10 minutes in our 16 bed dorm, we decided to just leave right away. Maybe […]

I Want It That Way…

After a three day rest up at Jim’s we got back on the rail and went up to York for a brief walk about and then made our way to Newcastle where we stayed at the Albatross hostel.   NC was quite nice, lots of bridges over the Tyne.  We continued with our debauchery by buying […]

Borth, Borth

“No, my son is also named Borth!” We left Stratford-Upon-Avon a couple days ago and headed into western/northern Wales. After a long train ride, we arrived in a small town called Borth, overlooking the ocean. We checked in at the hostel and headed down the road to a local pub called “Danny’s”. After a few […]

London Calling

Our last few days in NYC contained a visit to the UN, Rockerfeller, Central Park Zoo and a Broadway Show (Jerusalem — amazing!). Central Park was a nice change from the big city… ‘earthy smells’. On the 4th, we caught a cab to Newark airport to catch our connecting flight to Toronto, then to London. […]
