Freedom
March 30th, 2010 by Todd
Tomorrow is my last day at work! I think it’s time for some travel…
I’m going to Berlin over the upcoming Easter holiday, which I’m really looking forward to. Then the following weekend (after a few days of rest) I head to Poland (Warsaw & Krakow), Slovakia (Bratislava), and Austria (Vienna) for a week, before flying [...]

The “list”
March 23rd, 2010 by Todd
For a while now, I’ve had a list of places that I still wanted to see in Europe. It’s not exhaustive of course (because the ultimate goal is to see everything), but it’s not far off.

St Johann and Tirol
September 27th, 2007 by Todd
I couldn’t book the bus out of Munich, so I had to catch the train to St Johann in Tirol in Austria. The train ride was scenic enough to more than make up for it though.
The Tirol region is a large mountainous area of Austria, with loads of small alpine towns. It’s full of stunning [...]

Update
September 25th, 2007 by Todd
Yeah yeah, so I’m a little behind in updating this site. I’ve been busy!
I had a few days back in London a couple weeks ago, so I’ve put a heap of new photos up of the trip up until my jaunt back to London.
After Barcelona, I went to Valencia (and la tomatina festival!), Madrid, and [...]

Pickpocket
September 5th, 2007 by Todd
I forgot to mention in my post about Nice – a very young girl tried to pick-pocket me. She was lacking a little in the execution however, as I could see her shadow come up behind me. I actually saw her shadow reach out towards my back pocket, and then felt a hand on my [...]

Barcelona
September 5th, 2007 by Todd
On the bus into Barcelona they were selling a few tours and things, and I ended up getting all of them. A bike tour, a party bus tour on the first night, and a Spanish cooking class!

Avignon
August 26th, 2007 by Todd
Nice to Avignon was the first leg of the trip using busabout, so I had an earlier morning to get on the 8am bus.
It was all quite straight-forward and easy getting sorted on the bus, and it wasn’t actually as uncomfortable as I expected so I was happy enough with that. In just 4 hours we [...]

Cannes
August 26th, 2007 by Todd
I took a day trip on the train to Cannes from Nice, to check out the home of the international film festival.
Cannes is fairly similar to the other nice little cities along the coastline, but with more prestige. There were arguably more massive pleasure boats here than in Monaco. Apparently St Tropez, further down the [...]

Nice
August 19th, 2007 by Todd
My original plan for today was to head to Cannes. I checked back in to the hostel, and had breakfast French-style, and then realised that today was Sunday and Cannes would be packed. Today would be Nice instead!
I spent the day wandering around the city. I spent some time along the waterfront – even sunbaking [...]

Monaco
August 19th, 2007 by Todd
One of the people I met on the first night was a German guy named Christian. He was keen to go to Monaco the next day, so we agreed to meet up and take a day trip.
Firstly though, I had to take care of the fact that I had nowhere to stay for the night. [...]
