Aug 16, 2007 13:01

finally i'll tell you about my interail trip. i wont describe it, just few words for few days. sorry if some sentences are in portuguese, although i spoke a lot english these days, my english still sucks!

as you know we spent 22 days travelling in europe by train. we went to: Barcelona-Amsterdam-Praha-Vienna-Rome-Florence-Venice-Milan-Nice and i've to say taht it was amusinggg!! the trip of my life, for sure.

if you wanna check the photos click on www.martitahh.hi5.com there's an album called interrail and also a photo slide with the best moments. if possible comment =) i'd like to know your opinion.

DAY 2
We arrived to Barcelona at 8.22am and stayed there still 5.30am!! what we did? At the morning we visited Guell park, where we can see Gaudi's art, esp. design buildings really beautiful.



then we went to the main street alled Ramblas and stayed there until 5.30am. we visited ciudat vella (old city) and Bairri Gotic. on dinner we wento to supermarket and ate on the street. also we drunk red wine and asked a men in the restaurant to open it lol

DAY3
We wanted to go to Paris so we can go to amsterdam but we got lost, alone in the train in a place that seemed the desert!! LOL

DAY 4
Amsterdam. the first feeling was WOW! i felt like i was in home. Everyone smilling, helping us, the smell of the city, the beauty of the streets.... ok i wanna live there! =) the neighbours of the hotel we stayed give us some cocaine (!!) and told us "Here we dont charge, we give. Welcome to Amsterdam!" hehe also they invite us to a private party but we forgot lol. 
this night we met Gorgetta, a friend of Samuel and we also met many other people who were making ERASMUS. their residence seemed an 5 stars hotel... i coulndt believe... the students residences in Faro are so horrible when you look for the amsterdam's... we drunk white wine and smoked lotsa weed, we also made some haxe joints from portugal and they liked. then we went to a place with tons of bars and clubs, we stayed in one. what a crazy night!! =)

DAY 5
Finnaly we went to the coffee shop and we asked for a "white widow" (kind of weed). we didnt know that it's one of the most hard weed there. so we smoked it, while we were drinking a cinnamon tea (the best ever!!) and in few seconds i was totally stoned lo0l then we visited the famous red light street hehe imagine me stoned seeing the bitches ahahah i stopped like thousand times to check them LOL it is a common street, you just stop if you wanna "buy". we had a blast!

DAY 6 
we went to Van Gogh museum. i just adore it, the painting were really impressionist!! also there was in english the life's story of this artist, so i learnt about him.
i loved amsterdam but it's a pity that we didnt go by bike visiting the city :( next time i'll!

DAY 7 
We arrived to Praha. we got lost!! that train station didnt have one word in english. a old man asked us if we wanted an house to stay and we said YES!!! he saved us! the apartment was PERFECT! a large bedroom for us, veryyyy comfy, a kitchen with hooven, fridge, everything! and a large bathroom with laundry machine!!! we washed all our clothes there =) we just paid each 26€ for 2 days!!! yes, praha is super cheap. 
we visited the old part of the city, we passed b the bridges  and we were like "NOOOO", the view was wonderful, you could see the river and the other briges, also part of the city which is sooo beautiful. this bridge called "karluv must" had black statues and artists everywhere.
then we visited the cathedral just outside coz inside was closed... this is a fact: we visited the churches, castles, etc. before 5.30pm... and these cultural buildings close by 5pm, around the europe. this is the cathedral... and yes, once again WWWOOOOWWWW



then we had seen the castle, a bit different from others, not that big and we went to the castle garden to smoke a joint hehe but one half hour later a women told us that was her garden!! LOL
this night we went to a strip pub lol and the martini there was 2€ :P PRAHA ROCKS! now i understand why many students go there to do erasmus =)

DAY 8
we had seen the other part of the city and met MANY PEOPLE! from Argentina, France, USA, Spain and we decided to go out. the large beer was 1€ lol we couldn´t believe! but one of the negative things about interailing: we can´t drink to muck coz we can´t spend money that way coz we need to EAT and coz of the hangover next day :S everyday we sleept until 9am, then go out to check out the city.

DAY 9
we arrived to vienna. we wanted to spend just 2 days but i asked for 3 days coz you've soooo much to see there, but i have to say that 3 days are enough coz then it's a bit boring.
this first night we prefer to sleep in the train station (sometimes we have to do that to save money and to meet more people) but we met Markus, a guy that went to ask for a lighter then liked so much us that asked if we wanted to stay in his house. YYEEYYY!! this was the only night of the trip we went to a disco. Ok in Praha we went to a smallie one but this one was perfect! called Flex, it was an underground disco, like 8mile movie you know? the WC was decorated with REAL CANDY!!! hehe we also met Markus' friends, they were crazyyyy!! ah before clubbing, we visited Vienna by car, it was a great travel, we could check the most ppular buildings there, and i've to say there are MANY! then we went home and after sleeping we smoked austrian weed which is good like Amsterdam's =)

DAY 10 and DAY 11
what a horrible morning!!  searching for a hostel and they were full  :( finally found one, where we  found our spanish friends we met in Praha!! LOL this day we just went to store's street and also the museums zone.
next day we went to Princess' Sissi museum, all the dishes, the house, her clothes, the tragic story, i just adore it!! and then we went to a laaarrrgeeee garden:



for now is all. the next days we went to Italy (1 week) and one weekend in Nice. i'll tell you about it later.

i've to say that this experience was rich in many senses, especially the fact that when we are in horrible moments we always have a solution =)
