Picspammy challenge: Around the Med in 70 Days.

[takeintoaccount]

In the summer of 2009, I joined about 700 other students on Semester at Sea's 99th voyage. In 70 days we conquered 10 countries around the Mediterranean.

Wonderful idea! And you were at al the places? Where did you enjoy it the most?

[takeintoaccount]

Thank you!

Yes, I was in all the places. It was a great trip, a bit of a whirlwind though. :) I think overall, I enjoyed Turkey the most. Well, more specifically Istanbul. The food was great, I loved meeting all of the people, and it was just beautiful. The mix of cultures there was so cool to observe, too. Egypt was also a very pleasant surprise in that I liked it a lot and found it was less scary (if that's a good word?) than I was warned/had anticipated, or something. Lol.

Wow, that sounds really great. I never was so far away from Germany. Only in the neighbour countries (Poland, Czech Republic, Austria) and 1 hour in Calais (France) and 1 week in London. But since I'm so in love with that city. ♥

I went to Berlin almost a year ago. It was my first time in continental Europe (I'd been to Ireland and London, but never anywhere else) and I loved it. We also spent a few days in Prague as well - it was beautiful there!

And London is one of my favorite cities that I've ever been to. So I totally understand your love for it. Your icon makes me miss it! :)

Oh yeah, it's my official "I-miss-London-so-fucking-very-much"-Icon and I so love it. ♥
