I'm going to Europe on Friday
Mon, 07/25/2005 - 08:58
I really can’t wait to get over to Europe now, since it’s been over 4 years since I was there last. The plan for the trip is to visit the fokllowing places.
Glasgow, Edinburgh and the Highlands
Amsterdam
Rome, Vatican, Florence, and Venice
Interlaken and Zurich
Munich and Dachau
Prague
London
Does anyone have any last minute advice for me? This is my first "real" backpacking trip to Europe.
Thank you to everyone who has givin me advice on this forum. I will try and post a recap when I get home at the end of August and let you all know how everything went.
Thanks again.


No advice just good luck, enjoy yourself and take heaps of Photo’s
No advice for you, I’m sure you’ll be fine. Have a great trip.
No worries about me taking pictures. Most times my problem is that I take way too many.
Have a great time, and be quick with your recap, ill be waiting for it, since im going there on september. =)
have fun!! If you like dancing. In prague (right in the old town district close to the Charles Bridge, hard to miss, check out the 4 storey dance club!!). Sorry, can’t remember the name though.
Leo, i’ll get right on that recap. I always find it interesting reading other peoples when they return, so i’ll be sure to get it done when I get back
lakinm, sounds like an interesting place, I will be in that area so i’m sure i’ll find it. Thanks for the info.
Bring water to Dachau. It’s mostly outside, so sunscreen might be smart too.
Mike’s Bike tour in Munich is pretty good.
Eat lots of gelato.
Have fun!
In Munchen…go to Doner Burger…haha…seriously, go there..it’s on Bayerstraße. Like if you are staying at Euro Youth or Wombats…go up Senefelderstraße(the street those hostels are on) towards the Hauptbahnhoff…and make a right when you get there…left is toward the fest grounds….so go the other way. It’s there a couple minutes in on the right. Excellent doner burgers..
Have fun! No worries about London, I was just there this weekend. It is a little chilly. I am living in Italy where its HOT, so I would def. bring a light jacket AND a hoodie or umbrella. It rained 2 out of the 3 days I was there. Things are fine, some of the stops arent running, but youll find out which ones. But, seriously things are back to normal…minus the fact that they shot the wrong guy.
Thanks for the tips everyone,
I’ve heard about the bike tour in Munich so maybe i’ll check that out.
I am staying at Wombats in Munich, so i’ll get myself a doner burger, haha. I’ve heard too much about them on here to not go.
I’m heading to Europe on Friday as well, athough this will be my first trip.
We may cross paths in Zurich and Munich/ Dachau.
3 days 4 hours to take off… woo-hoo
Remember to take extras of everything. They have different toothpaste which you may not be used to. Try to take enough water with you. European water tastes funny, and the tap water is toxic, especially in the north.
Enjoy your trip!
p.s. Try to spend as little time as possible in Glasgow…. sober! Glasgow is top class! The highlight of your list!
volfan2k2,
Maybe we will cross paths in Europe. I am planning on being in Munich somewhere around the 18th or 19th. Good luck with your trip, hope you have a great time.
Thanks for the tips Sickboy

Thanks for the name Clunker
No problem. Don’t waste your time writing it down, though. Helen Keller couldn’t miss it, you’ll see what we mean when you get there.
Thanks clunker!! Thats it
Good to know
Nivid, can’t wait to hear of your adventures, especially in London as I will be there soon. Have a great time!
Well, I am off everyone. I’ll be flying out in about 10.5 hrs from now, although I have about a 4 hr drive to the airport
. Thanks again for all the suggestions.
If I get a chance, I may try and come on here while i’m gone. If not, i’ll be sure to update when I get back.
Happy Travels!
Hello everyone,
I have been in Europe for about 9 days now and everything is going really well. I am currently in Rome. We’ll I just got a quick chance to use internet so I thought that I’d post a little trip update. I’ll post a complete update when I get back.
Nivid, how’s the weather? There was a heatwave last month across southern Europe; I’m wondering how it’s going now, if it’s over.

im jealous!!
hope you’re having an awesome trip!! if youre still in Rome make sure you get gelato at Giolitti, i kinda forgot where it was but its one of the most well known places.
Drink a bottle of Verizano Cianti for me when you get to Florence. Love that stuff!!!!!
Have an awesome rest of the time.
I’m leaving in 6 hours myself for a journey around the Balkans. Sarajevo, here I come!

Nivid,
think of yourself like Yuri Gagarin or Neil Armstrong, the first Canadian to set foot in Europe… NOT.
What’s there to get exciting about, it’s not like you’re going on Safari or diving to the wreck of the Titanic is it, going to europe is like the McDonalds drive thru, no big deal.
I guess you don’t get out much, do you? Flower in the Attic ??
Just think what it might have been like for you as a Scotsman, to go to your first free anything, dish out your first headbutt (on a family member)or visit your first clean public toilet…
Thats how he feels now!
Hey everyone, me again,
My trip is coming to an end. I’m in Prague and i’m going home on Friday.
luv the beach, not sure if this applies anymore, but the weather is good. Hot but not unbearable. Weather in Czech is not too hot though, it’s raining today.
Or for you, your first bit of slanty pussy, did it cost you big time ??
It costs me everytime I go to the washroom.
