Back from my Europe trip

[tontod]

I took around 200 pictures, took me a while to sort them out and decide which ones to upload. I ended up with uploading 115 pictures to the site. Feel free to provide critiques and if any of you guys have been to these places.

Cool where did you go in Europe?
Did you backpack any of it?

London, Amsterdam, St. Goar (Germany), Munich, Venice, Lucerne (Switzerland), Paris. I went as part of a contiki tour group.
This is the one I took.

I loved Germany. South of Germany is nicer than most parts of France and Italy IMHO.

My brother just finished his contiki tour a week ago, really liked it, he's in Berlin right now. Might have been the same trip, when did your tour start?

Its not the same as mine, the tour I was on didnt go to Berlin. It started on the 14th.

Berlin isn't part of the tour, he is only there to visit family. He started in London, went to about ten coutries I think then came back to London when it was over then went to Berlin.

Ahh, I see. When did he leave? And, if its the same date, whats his name? There were a few people from the US on that trip.

Has anyone here been to the Science Museum in Munich? I've heard its huge, perimeter is 19 km long.

I am thinking of going to Berlin in the near future. Anyone been there recently?

Berlin is called the "ugly city with beautiful corners."

It's certainly a metropolis that is VERY hip nowadays. Lots of cool places for partying at night. Great restaurants too.

Around the environs of Berlin is really beautiful. Many gorgeous lakes.

Berlin isn't as green or as beautiful as Munich, but has that Manhattan "vibe" feel to it.

Berlin is destined to be a NYC clone in the future. The mix is there.

Did my advice help at all?

I PMed that last bit of advice on musuems a little too late I guess!

Have you seen my pictures from Munich? See my sig for the PICS.

(We took a few similar pictures: one example and another.)

With any luck, I could be living in Stuttgart this time next year.
