yeah?

Milan left me a bit cold, but Verona's lovely. Make sure you touch Juliet's breast. Venice is breathtaking in the early morning.

Bratislava was also a surprisingly beautiful place - it's very small, so you don't need a long stay to get in all of it, but the old town is full of cobblestone streets and narrow hidey alleyways that you'll fun exploring.

icebar on Apr 07 '08 at 3:09pm

we are going to the Romeo and Juliet Balcony in Verona, apparently.

ah you seem like you've traveled a lot Krakaboom

*extremely jealous*

icebar on Apr 07 '08 at 3:14pm

i'm quite lucky, i must say.

Krakaboom on Apr 07 '08 at 3:16pm

When I moved to the UK years ago, I did some backpacking around Europe, so yeah, I've seen quite a bit of it.

I spent 3 weeks in Italy and loved it. Florence, Rome and Verona were my favourites - probably in that order.

bsweber on Apr 07 '08 at 3:16pm

that's a lot of places for 9 days! it'll be awesome though.

icebar on Apr 07 '08 at 3:18pm

hmm

i have been to many places for my age.. in europe i've already been to reykjavik (don't know how to spell it), paris and vienna.

i wish this trip was going to ireland or g.b. though

icebar on Apr 07 '08 at 3:18pm

bsweber the teacher running it is very strict about schedules!

quote from him: "this is not a vacation, it's a trip"

icebar on Apr 07 '08 at 3:19pm

i'm very excited.

Steve The Great on Apr 07 '08 at 3:31pm

verona has some pretty cool history

venice is awesome

icebar on Apr 07 '08 at 3:32pm

peterjanes on Apr 07 '08 at 3:50pm

The UK is great and London has to be one of the best citys in the world. but the easten europian places sound really good.

icebar on Apr 07 '08 at 3:58pm

yeah i'd like to go to london a lot

deejayflint on Apr 07 '08 at 4:04pm

Enjoy your trip

icebar on Apr 07 '08 at 4:05pm

*tries to think of how to say thank you in german or italian or something*

SoldierofGondor on Apr 07 '08 at 4:05pm

Italy ftw. I used to live there. It seems your only staying in the northern part though =\.

kissmeimshitfaced on Apr 07 '08 at 4:06pm

Hey I live in Europe! Come over for a chat!

SoldierofGondor on Apr 07 '08 at 4:06pm

you're

icebar on Apr 07 '08 at 4:08pm

ok kissme!

Soldier we are spending a very short time there anyway.. i'll be back in the future i hope, though

SoldierofGondor on Apr 07 '08 at 4:09pm

Its pretty awesome. I never went to those places though. I think the farthest north I went was Pisa? Have fun though! And, you've probably had them before, but Kinder eggs are a must :-p.

icebar on Apr 07 '08 at 4:11pm

hmm no i haven't!

kissmeimshitfaced on Apr 07 '08 at 6:25pm

K drop round about noonish, half noonish, I'll put the tea on.

icebar on Apr 07 '08 at 6:28pm

that sounds just smashing

icebar on Apr 07 '08 at 6:40pm

icebar on Apr 07 '08 at 6:40pm

too big.

squeegebeckenheim on Apr 07 '08 at 7:19pm

I've been to Vienna and Krakow! They were both fantastic. There's a big market in Krakow that sells a ton of amber, along with other stuff. It's fun to look around even if you aren't going to buy anything.

J-Ray on Apr 07 '08 at 7:20pm

wow that's a lot of fossil fuel to burn!

enjoy it while you can!

icebar on Apr 07 '08 at 7:30pm

cool!

i will!

Bramish on Apr 09 '08 at 6:01am

Verona is beautiful, although you can see all that's worth seeing in a couple of days.

Venice is easily the most beautiful place I've ever been. Truly stunning, although I've only ever been in warmer months - around this time you may get more of a Don't Look Now feel!

phones on Apr 09 '08 at 6:07am

good luck!

icebar on Apr 09 '08 at 7:35am

ah I can't wait to take pictures there... I fear running out of batteries.. that would be awful.

Bramish on Apr 09 '08 at 7:37am

Don't worry, they sell batteries there ;)

icebar on Apr 09 '08 at 7:42am

more expensive though I hear.. and I want to save my money for "European" things!

SoulfumeInc on Apr 09 '08 at 7:43am

batteries?!? in Europe?!!? psshhhhh...

icebar on Apr 09 '08 at 7:47am

maybe it was something else's price the teacher was warning us about

Bramish on Apr 09 '08 at 7:49am

Beer?

icebar on Apr 09 '08 at 7:53am

probably

Mikko Terva on Apr 09 '08 at 8:00am

sounds nice!

verona is indeed one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen, I lived there last summer for 3 months. venice is also worth seeing, but I wouldn't want to live there. and I love milan because it's such a lively city, with a good scene for the creative type (graphic designers etc).

usually when americans say they're going to europe, they mean only the uk, france and italy. it's refreshing to see you're going to east europe too! in my opinion, east european countries can be a bit gray and depressing in the winter but they're absolutely great in the summer!

I've been to almost all european countries but I haven't seen spain yet - maybe next summer!

icebar on Apr 09 '08 at 8:06am

yeah I think it's interesting that we're going to eastern countries.

5 days later

icebar on Apr 14 '08 at 2:50pm

only 4 more days!

2 days later

icebar on Apr 16 '08 at 7:48pm

about the batteries, this is what it says on the info paper:

"Bring a camera, and don't forget extra batteries and memory chips. These items are ridiculously expensive in Europe"

now, the teacher who wrote that is a cheap guy, but that's still what it says.

icebar on Apr 17 '08 at 4:29pm

yesss, i leave tomorrow! yippee! bye for now.

icebar on Apr 18 '08 at 5:20am

i'm leaving today!!

haha everyone is ignoring me now but i'm excited!

EricDiaz on Apr 18 '08 at 5:23am

Have fun! Oh if you bring anything that needs to be recharged then you should invest in some plug adapters.

Le Dobermann on Apr 18 '08 at 5:45am

Good luck :) Change your dollars to euros now, dollar is dropping pretty fast and will continue to drop before Obama wins :))))

Oh and Italy is great for shopping :) especially Milan! Milan is much more industrial compared to all other cities you going to visit.

icebar on Apr 18 '08 at 5:51am

i didn't bring any chargers, eric, but thanks. :)

i have a lot of euros from past trips my parents have been on :)

i'm excited about shopping, although i know it will be expensive... can't buy too much!

well i'm off! bye again.
