....and the history books forgot about us....

....and the bible didn't mention us....and the bible didn't mention us....not even once.
So I'll do my own mentioning!

T (Trip) minus 4 days and counting.

Ah, the anticipation. This is often as good a feeling as what you wind up enjoying once it actually becomes reality. Like Christmas eve. Note to Neil: enjoy every minute of the waiting and the wanting. Better than sex (ok, not quite, but you get the point).

Work is work. Life is life. Weather is weather. England is England. But for two weeks we disappear. Lost in Europe. Only our smarts and rail ticket to get by on (ok, we could be in trouble with the smarts!).

What I'm expecting:

Paris: The buzz of the first evening. We'll be high on life...the whole trip in front of us.

Rome: Never been. Romans are grumpy sods, apparently! Not surprising with the multitudes of tourists trooping through their city. Great history and culture.

Innsbrook: Well, not quite sure really. Spending most of this day travelling. The trip through the Alps should be incredible though.

Zel Am See / Satzburg: Incredible scenery....serenity....relaxation....ahhh, bliss (camera at the ready). Anyone got a spare nuns habbit (is that one 'b' or two?)...would make for a great 'Sound of Music' moment lol?

Munich: Well it's the beer fest....answers on a postcard.

Prague: Hmmmm, more beer possibly.

Berlin: Zoo station.....Checkpoint Charlie...Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.......

Amsterdam: Lol. Really lookomg for to this part, and no, not for the shop windows!!

Then back to Paris. For the return home. Richer for the experience. A head full of different people, sights, sounds, smells, tastes. Ah, tastes. A taste of life.

Sorry guys but you can keep yer beach holidays....

All the colours of the rainbow.....
