Lets do this again...

MY BIG TOPDECK WINTER EUROPE TOUR!!!

DAY 1 LONDON TO PARIS

it all started when i had to get up at 4am.. and peggy had to drive me to epping station so that i could catch te underground to stamford brook and carry my luggage to the globetrotter inn .. meet up wit our tour guide and half the group.. we then had to walk back to the station where the bus was waitin... it is still dark at this point.. so our group.. we had the tour leader tori and the driver pj... there was about 40 ppl... which included sumthin like 7 couples... 3 were canadians, 2 were "kiwis" and one koren who barely spoke english.. and the rest were aussies.. u just cant escape them.. i was hopin for a nice englishboy but hey what can u do... so we got on the bus for a 2 n a half hour drive 2 dover then a 90 min ferry ride to calis.. and a 6 hr journey to paris ohh the joy of a bus... we later learnt to adapt to bus days.. buy playin stupid games and sleepin off a hang over.. i think i did alot more of the later... umm so when we got to paris we were allowed to get into our rooms and then get back on the bus to do a night tour of paris... it was pretty annoyin getin back onthe bus.. and we drove round the arc de triomphe several times to the mission immpossible theme.. and we heard the cancan music as we went past the moulin rougue... but all in all i think we were all tired so we were fallin asleepo as tori talked and when we got back to the hotel we all just went to bed.

#day 2 paris

ok so next day.. as i had only just been to paris and seen all te important sites i was wonderin what the hell do i do.. lucky enough shan(canadian) had also just been.. so we ended up goin to the catacombes where neither of us had been before.. it was ok.. pretty repetative though.. bones bones and more bones... but after that we just wandered tround paris not really doin anything... we all met up at 6pm and had champagne(real champagne) under the eiffel tower.. and some ppl from sta travel were doin us for that dinnewr and our boat cruise... dinner was very intrestin... i tried snails n frog legs.. the legs were a bit watery but the snails were nice.. till u remember ur eatin snails... hahah but i couldnt get it out of the shell so i got kel (from perth) to get mine out and umm ryan who was sittin next to her ended up wearin snail goo.. from then on she was named snail... after that i drank a bottle of wine between dinner and gettin on the river cruise.. cantsay we saw many sites.. too much alchol and umm socialisin... pj told us to scream everytime we went under a bridge.. but there were lots of bridges n i scream loud.. i think he regretted sayin that... as the boat was dockin i decided to go to the toilet.. and wen i came out every one was gone... i tried to explain my situation to sum one but he only spoke french.. all good though coz sum how i got back on the bus.. an d back at the hotel there was a bit more drinkn... and about 4am i stole a hat off someone and that resulted in a couple of kisses... ohh in paris hahaah...

DAY 3 PARIS TO SWITZALAND

first of all our bus broke down my hang over was bad so this was not good... we had to call a MECHANIC and we ended up 3 hrs delayed... but eventually we got in at night and found out that a late comer had joind our tour.. her name was alys her bday is 2 days after mine.. and we r the same age.. n she lives in chidlow like my friend sarah... but again we were all fairly tired so we went to bed.

DAY 4 SWITZALAND

we had a choice today .. pay sum money to go right up the top of a mountain or not... i couldnt really afford it so i chose not to.. instead shan, jen, ryan n i walked 1.2km up a steep mountain to a small village it was a hefty walk.. but it filled in our day.. up there we made a snow ball out of the scrapins off an ice rink.. and then made a tiny snow man.. and then a dog came along and peed on it.. yeh yello snow is bad lol.,. i had the best lunch in a bar there cant remember whats its called but it was very nice... and we brought some alcohol for the night then made our way back down the hill... we started drinkn i think at like 4.. and we all met up for dinner and had dinner... was nice... the room was filled with place cards that ppl had writtin on.. lots of aussies n top deck ppl... but yes once again got fairly drunk... and had another kiss.. haha

day 5 switz to FLORENCE, ITALY

we were stopped at the italian border for quite some time... they had 2 different sniffer dogs climboin all over our stuff.. and on the bus.. and around us.. eventually they picked out davids bag n he had to go off in to a room and empty his stuff out.. turns out everything is ok they just wasted our time... when we got to florence we did a tour of florence which ended att he red garter where we spent the night drinkn.. there were creepy italian guys lining he walls just starin at us... and there was karaoke goin on...alys n i ordered 2 litres between us of doubke strenght beer but i dont think she drank much of it at all.. then i got a jacks n coke.. n they dont measure there alcohol.. so its safe to say i waqs fairly plastered and her and shaun had to basically carry me home.. funny as...

DAY SIX FLORENCE
