Well I’m back. From Athens we flew To london, saw Westminster Abbey and bought some chucks. Then we flew strauight to vancouver. Surprised a couple of friends as a ghost.
I’m happy to be back. As fun as this trip was, it feels fantastic to be back in my home. All these forgien cities I have visited had theyre own character that was enthralling to say the least. While these cities were, gorgeous, full of history and pretty girls, I’ve come to love and appreciate my home of Vancouver.
Highlight Countries for the trip would Probably have been the UK, Netherlands, Germany, Italy and Greece. Akthough every place had a lot going for it.

Hello Friends!
Wow its been a while a tad busy I would say!aaa
From lisbon we went to Madrid. Which was kinda bleh, went to a good pub a crawl and got awakened by an angry Spanish lady demanding we leave because checkout was a while ago. Then after 3 hours of trying to get a non english speaker to give us tickets to milan we went to milan but didnt stay we went to Lecco on Lake Como in Italy. Matts 2nd cousin gave us her apartment and then took us around everywhere it was good times.
then on to Florence, which was incredibly cool, saw lots of museums and the david. Took the day trip over to Pisa and saw that leany tower. it was cool beans. Went on down to rome and did the blast at all the shiz, Colluseum, Unknown Soldier Monument , Spanish Steps, Vatican, etc etc. Rome was a cool cool place. Then to Naples which was pretty scuz, but they have amazing pizza with buffalo mozzerella and its good. Went to Pompeii in the morning and saw where Pink Floyd filmed Live in Pompeii! awesome awesome. Took the Boat across the aegean over to Greecetown. Got over to Athens after meeting some cool Candadians and Aussies. After Athens, We found out all the Islands are pretty much closing for the Winter, but we managed to hit up Syros and mykonos and make our own fun. The beaches where still fairly hot apart from some wind, plus side the water was very nice to swim in and there was barely anyone on the beaches. Next day, we rented Scooters and Scooted around the island all day. Definatly an amazing Experience, now I really want a bike when I get home.
Anyways where back in Athens and getting some shit done and heading out to another greek destination!
bye for now!

Hello Friends!
Munich! OKTOBERFEST! Seriously, it was everything you imagine and see in the movies and stuff. 1 Litre Steins! Lederhosen! Friendly hammered Germans! I swear, everyone in the tents was drunk and there were great bands playing! It was freaking a great time. Such a great atmosphere.
Next! Was Switzerland! We went to Montreux Switerland. WHY DO YOU ASK THIS SMALL TOWN, WHICH HAPPENED TO BE INCREDIBLY EXPENSIVE????? Well, It is on Lake Geneva, and there is a Casino there. Whoopee doo, a casino, HOWEVER, one night during a certain concert there, an over zealous Frank Zappa fan happened to have shot a flare gun and lit the place a flame. Which happend to have caused, then inspired!
SMOKE ON THE WATER!!! There was also a recording studio in the casino where Led Zeppelin and Queen recorded alot of albums, however, unfortunatley it has been converted to a disco bar.
Next We hit up Nice, France. Which was our first taste of the Mediterranean. Boy oh boy what a site, Nice is very nice. Right next to it however, is the Second smallest country in the world. MONACO! the city is Monte Carlo, which is like the Beverly Hills of Europe. Amazing place, simply amazing.
Took the train over to Barecelona Next! Met some friends of the British Commonwealth and got plastered both nights. Also hit up some much needed beach.
We are now in Lisbon. A bit tired from the night train but not tired enough to write messages to ma friends!
luv u all c u soon.

Next After Vienna, Was CROATIA!!!!! You may not have heard of croatia, however, Its amazing. bordering the Ageean sea, we rested our Backs in Pula. Pula is in the peninsula of Istria, and was quite nice. our hostel was on the beach, and was cryworthy at how beautiful it was. Words cannot describe.
We decided to Jump to A nice place called venice From there. you may know where this is, Italy!!!!! hjowever, there was a hiccup in our plans, and we ended up in Ljubljana, Slovenia!!!. this was so hard to remember how to pronounce, I had to come up with a saying to memorize it.

Hello Friends.
Its dan, I’ve been driknig Czech Beer but more on that latr.
So Berlin! We gets to berlin and walked the wall at nightskies. find Metallica Concert Etcetecetc you know the story. So next day we walked the Wall and went to Checkpoint Charlie, which was a famous entry point to the sectors of ol berlin. Went to a couple of Museums, The Jewish Memorial and Checkpoint charlie and all the famous attempts on how to get to the western side. So night time came we had a seista, cause thats what germans do. got up around 9pm dranks some JAGERMIESTER! Cause thats german, worked out to around 10 Cdn for a 2/6. Met some neato english girls and they invited us to this place called Panorma bar and the lonely planet said to go there so were like uhh ok.
So we wait in lineseys and get into this club, which is an old railway builiding factory turn into techno rave. However there is something odd about this club.
First Clue, The english girls met a friend of theyres who is gay as shit. Dancin and prancin and all that jazz. nice enough guy just a tad gay.
Second Clue: Many Guys with shirts off. Now this is where we should have clued in, as once side of the entire dancefloor was shirtless bald guys bumpin and grinding against eachother.
Final Clue: Man with Buttless chaps….
So yes, This popular club is in fact, a gay bar. Just that it is so popular, that many tourists go there too. However, It was a tad too much gay for us, so we left.
Waiting for our Train to Maria-town (Poland) we froze to death in a train station and was on our way
Warsaw! Kinda boring Not alot to say, stayed one night and felt wed seen enough. So off to Krakow!
Krakow is way cool. Lots of Pigeons for me to chase and delicious Vodka. One popular vodka is one with a Bison Grass in it, you drink it with apple juice. Next was a vodka that was BROWN and tastes like a combo of Wiskey (fireballish) and Vodka. It was delicous and I got drunk. Luckily our hostel had a Great Party Manager whos job it is to take forigners to the barz and drink with them. best job evar.
Now after a night train to Prague we are in Prague and it is very nice and Pragueish. Imma go find something to do now bye friends.
luv danny

Hello Friends,
Now Im not one to gloat, but this story must be told.
so, we get to berlin yesterday, late in the day so we went for a walk down the ol berlin wall, east side gallery, cool stuff and all. So were walking talkin peein etc, and we see a big stadium, go cross the street to take a look casue it was rather big and cool flashing lights were a blinkin. Anyways were walkin and a scalper comes up and says you want to see metallica? I can sell you 2 for 5ßeuro were like ya right this guys joshin us, metallica for 25 each? at a scalpers price? get outta here. So we continue walkin decide to ask the box office if anythings going on, cause we were still kind sceptical of the whole situash. So shes like oh, Metallica is here to show off there new album, entry is 10 euro! So Matts like omg yes and Im asked is this a listening party or is this live. shes like thezre here so we pay our chump change and walk in to the first entrance to the stadium and were on the floor 10 mins before metallica comes on and rocks out with theyre cocks out and plays a smattering of new shiz and old shiz. So we came for like 2 hours all up in our pants and figured this was a pretty good score for aimlessly walking down the berlin wall at 9 at night.
bye 4 now,
luv dan et matt

Wow its been a long time, anyways this note will have strange spelling errors becuase german keyboards are all wacked out.
London was cool, the first day we walked for like 15 hours, we started at abbey road (cool) and then saw the sites that you see in london town. They have qualms with garbage cans there and it is very expwnsive but its quite a great place. Wetherspoons is the best place to drink ever, its like the bargain basement of drinking and eating, and it was the only place with beers that werent 5 pounds.
Next was our French neighbours to the south. We took a bus there at night, and we woke up to what looked like was a space ship, we stopped the bus in it and we were confused. about a half hour later, we realised our bus was on a train going across the channel. lol dumbasses.
Paris for one day, mostly to arrive at our hostel and sigh becuse your not allowed in the room for 8 hours of the day and there lounge couches has bed bugs. fuck that off to Caen in Normandy.
Caen is mostly the base for seeing the D day beaches. We went to an eccellent ww2 museum and then off to Juno Beach! Juno beach still has bunkers on it, and we found the Juno beach center, which is a museum dedicated to the Canadians that fought there. It was nice to meet some fellow Canadians, and a confuzzled british couple that couldnt understand how canada was so big, yet has so little people.
Next was Dieppe, which was a very small town, we got there and found out that the only hostel shut down. so we got a cheap hotel with a double and a single bed. After A slamming win of rockpaperscissors, I won myslef the first non small ass single bed in over a month. Dieppe has a lot of respect for Canadians, which is very humbling, and it is a gorgeous place to visit.
Next Paris agin, for Free Louvre Day and Effiel Tower. The louvre was cool, although we didnt get a headset with english we figured there would be english on the signs for the exhibits lol wrong. good thing we can read french. the french sterotype was there in Paris, you get scoffs when you ask parle vous francais. Paris was meh, Normandy was awesome.
Belgium! We got to bruges and clued in that Belgian Waffles come from Belgium! So we had some waffles chased some ducks, found some delicous beards, relaxotronned, etc etc.
Next to Brussles, didnt stay the night as there was no accomidation anywhere, but we saw the grand square, met some Canadian girls and drank more of delicious beers. Night train!
Night train to Hamburg Germany, were here now in a biblioteq tying this I dunno whats in hamburg, so far all I can find is germans, but I know the beatles started theyre career here so thats good enough for me.
Regarding flights home, the CC company has sent us the info on how to get our money back. all I can say is that I need to come back for november inflamesness so the original date still stands.

Hello Friends!
Newcastle was great. Very much a party town, Everyclub is all full of cute girlz all dolled up. Fun stuff, however it was very expensive. They have this wack ass bridge called the Millenium Bridge that is wack ass. worth a google.
On to Manchester! Which was sort of blergh, not too much time was spent here, and I dunno, it didn’t really feel too awesome. Not that bad though!
LIVERPOOL! Home of the beatles! soo many beatles things around. We went to the legendary Cavern Club where the beatles used to play where they were first starting out. Theres also a great beatles museum there. I got to see George Harrisons first guitar! Very inspiriing place! There was a football game on there too, so the town was very bustling. Fun town, probably my favourite in the UK so far. Great sites, Penny Lane, Strawberry Fields etcetc!!!!!
On to the Wonderful Special News! Zoom Airlines folded yesterday!
Yes thats right my friends, Matt and I are now without return tickets home! Will we stay longer? Will we come back earlier? Time will tell! We’re not at all worried, although I really do hope that the Credit Card Company gives a bit of a refund. The Zoom email said that if we paid by CC we should be able to get a bit of a refund, but alas, What company would want to cover up another’s mistakes?
Anyways ta ta. Pictures will come eventually once I have lots more interweb time.
We’re in london now, going to see some sites. Our hostel is right next to abbey road! More Beatles!!!!!!

Let me see where did we leave off. Belfast was a fantastic town. We went to a Church from the 1800’s that was converted into a 3 storey pub. Excellent Blues were to be had. After Belfast, we took the Boat over to Glasgow. Pretty Cool Place, good night life scene if your into that. The hostel we stayed in was disgusting, complete with mold and no locks on the doors. Oh wellz, good area, and we found a nice big library next to the hostel so we joined the glasgow library so we could poop in theyre nice facilities.
After Glasgow, we headed over to Stirling, which is Famous for The battle of Stirling Bridge where William Wallace pwned some British Pansys. Our hostel here was great, met some cool peeps, went to the club for 3 bottles of beer for $5 Drunkenness ensued, “The Pidgeon” was born Ask and you shall find out what that gem is. The Next day we were really hungover, so we took it easy although somehow we got roped into walking 45 mins and up the william wallace monument on the hill. Also checked out stirling Castle which was kickin it old school.
Edinburgh was next, and upon arriving, my jawed dropped at how cool this city is. Huge Castle in the middle, with super cool old buildings. The Fringe festival is going on, so theres many comedy clbs and bars going crazy with tons of people. Bars are open till 5!!!!
We went to Inverness next, and checked out Loch ness. fun Stuff. On Cruising the lake, we decided if we saw the monster we would smash our bottles and jump in the water, but alas we didnt see them.
Back to Edinburgh to get the bus to Newcastle, too lazy to book a hostel, we stayed up all nigt and then slept in the park then we took the bus here. Were taking a time out from drinking which is nice cause I’m tired and very hungover.
byebuebue time gone
hi again bought more time. OK so far it doesn’t really feel like I’ve been gone 3 weeks. but there are some particular things I miss along with the obvious ones. I’m very glad I rougt my guitar, I get alot of chances to use it, and it’s not very much extra weight on my pack. I is happy.
1. MAX. God damn I love max, ma pup, and it almost tears me up to think about him, I don’t know why I miss him so much but god damn I luv max.
2. Ma bed. Only bed bugs I have to worry about are my own, and I’ve grown quite attached to em.
3. Home base. More importantly not paying for every night I want to sleep in a bed.
While I miss certain things. SO far these are the thing I will miss when I leave this continent.
1. IRN-BRU. Scottish pop drink thing, its like a cross between root beer and cream soda, and hs only been outsold by coke once in scotland. It’s not allow in north america cause one of dyes or something are banned. Something about damaging fetuses or soething.
2. Biking in Holland. Although I’m determined to start biking to and from bars when I get home. It’ll catch on!!!!
3. NO JOB HARHARHARHAHRARH
