i knew i shoulda done avb 6hours @ turnmills :|
sounds like a massive plan rach. grab yourself a eurail pass and be on your way. you can purchase sensation and gg tix online, or if you're meeting peepz over there get them to buy it.
Out of your list I've been to
- London (just didn't do it for me. very big on beer and pubs, and rain. ugh)
- Amsterdam (sensation, windmills, hash cookies, clogs, van gogh, anne frank's house, heineken factory, red light district, and fries with mayo ~ a world of its own. be sure to have an open mind and you'll be right)
- Berlin (one of my faves, so much history in East Berlin - do a walking tour)
- Florence (a lot of renaissance here. make sure you don't go on a monday because the museums are shut and you won't be able to see the real michaelangelo)
- Rome (rome wasn't built in a day, and you're going to need more than a day to see it)
- Barcelona (you gotta check out Maremągnum on the waterfront and Gaudi's masterpiece)
- Paris (simply majestic, paris at night is a MUST)
DAMN i wanna go to Ibiza! If you get a chance I hear Madrid is worth checking out too (and has a different feel to Barcelona).

hmm... interesting,
cheers ppl for all the info for us feeble first time europa's ;), i'm going over to switzerland for the uni holi's, prolly the same time rach's goin, late july to early aug :D:D
prolly go clubbin a bit, i'm staying in basel (gf's parents live there) but prolly going to go to zurich and across the border into germany for a bit. i was thinking of flying over to amsterdam for sensation, and i want to go to ibiza for a few days, kinda would be a holy grail trip for me, i'd have to go to amnesia (prolly an armada night if theyre going again next year)...
I'd like to go see god's and gatecrasher and go to GGG but the gf's completely opposed to the uk... grr... maybe next time :D
prolly going to go to prague for maybe a week, dunno what there is there, but no doubt we'll find something...
what's accomodation like over there? i'm told you gotta book like now or you won't find anything... and flights too? my gf's got lots of friends in germany, switzerland and czech so those places shouldnt be a prob, just the flight...
and just how expensive is a night out over there? i've been told that it can cost hundreds of AU$ and you've only got in the door :( i have a bit of savings but i want to eat too while i'm over there... |

if you get a chance go check out the jungfrau. i stayed one night in lauterbrunnen and absolutely loved it. such a beautiful place. nothing beats snow capped mountains. i didn't go up the mountain though, instead i rented a mountain bike and rode around the area. there's this cool waterfall inside a mountain not too far from the town. it was awesome.
my friend went to zurich during the week and said it's pretty boring, like any other financial district, but the weekend people come out and party. |

start jumping on the UK, German and Holland TA forums, and get as much info as you need. No better way to learn about a place than from the locals. They definitely helped me with my trip and it was cool meeting a stack of em at the pre- fight the power meetup at the reichstag :)
of course if cam is gonna be there then he can be your bitch i mean guide :p |
