I suppose you want to know how Zurich has been for the last week? It would probably be best to look it up on the Internet beacause I have no idea. And you are not a very good friend for falsely thinking we were in Zurich when we were really in Salzburg, Austria. For the record Salzburg was great. Salzburg is right near the alps and is at an altitude of 425 metres, ensuring we had a few cold nights. Unfortuneately it rained for a lot of our four night stay, but th...

Did you know that Vienna means beautiful in german? You probably don't because that is bulls*** and has not an ounce of truth about it. However for us, Vienna meant a truly amazing five days. Our hostel, the "Do Step Inn" was not only a clever pun, but also a great place to stay.

Having the flu has not been much fun, and Matt is still under the weather as we speak. It was also very difficult getting cold and flu tablets from the Pharmacy as the chemist couldn't speak English. This result...

Amsterdam. One word. One city. Yet with this one word many emotions and thoughts are sparked. Prostitutes in windows and cannibus are the worldwide trademarks of this city, but it is so much more than that. We found that out on the third day of course, because the first two were spent "window shopping" and smoking in coffee shops. The funny thing about our time in Amsterdam is that we didn't experience any girls in windows or any coffee shops. This...
