ITALY AND GERMANY

I managed to take out my camera minus its battery when in Rome so unfortunately I will need to be stealing pictures from friends. But here is what I did take in Rome and Florence before heading off to Munich and Berlin!

Italy was incredible, I cant wait to go back. Im sad I didnt make it to Venice but Im hoping Ill go soon. We hadnt planned to go to Italy on this trip, instead having planned for May, but our only way out of Spain was by cruise to Rome. A cruise to Rome, terrible right? So we ate our way through Italy and were a good five pounds heavier before arriving in Germany.

I absolutely adore Munich. The food was delicious and the town was super easy to cover by foot. You could definitely tell you had left Bavaria by the time we reached Berlin, which is a fascinating blend of new exciting city and left over eastern block country.

Enjoy!

IRELAND and SPAIN

More pictures!! It was cool to see Belfast prior to Dublin because Belfast is still part of the UK. It was also really different from Dublin, as you will probably note in the pictures. Dublin was awesome, very similar to London but with even crazier pubs and on the Euro.

Barcelona was really fun, even though we ended up staying there a week instead of under 5 days because of the volcano. It also allowed us to take lots of siestas and sleep til noon like the locals do.

An Epic Fail of a Blog

Greetings good people,

If there are any of you left actually checking this thing I want to apologize for leaving you hanging. I am afraid that keeping up with this completely got away from me and I would forget to update, and then remember but not have the time. But here is the proof that I am alive and doing well.

For the last month I would not have been able to update anyways though because I have been trekking across Europe, battling the ash clouds that have been roaming over the continent. It was all part of my Grand Tour that was expertly planned, only to have those plans destroyed in a puff on an island not so covered by ice.

In the next couple of days I will endeavor to put up my pictures from Scotland, Ireland, Spain, Italy, Germany and the Netherlands along with some tidbits and facts about my journeys.

Im sorry it took so long to return here and show that I still exist. Cheers!
