One thing I like to do when I travel is ride tram, and subway lines to interesting sounding stops. I saw a streetcar headed to Rehalp. I had no idea what was there. Of course, Rehalp reminded me of the Amy Winehouse song. I took the 22 minute ... Read more >

Yesterday was my final day in Zurich. It was a nice day, but not a particularly exciting one. First of all, I purchased a Zurich Card which entitles the bearer to free transit within the city-free entry into the museums for 24 hours. ... Read more >

Yesterday, I checked out of the YMCA and left Basel. I am glad I did. The YMCA was sort of weird and a pain in the ass-and it has nothing to do with the big black guy who basically slept next to me for one night-which he did. There was a ... Read more >

I woke up and checked out of my hostel before boarding a train back to Zurich. Since I didn’t get to spend much time Zurich the other day, I wanted to check it out more before my plane left. I’m glad I did. There were some great sights I ... Read more >

I caught a train to Lucerne (Luzern) today. The landscape along the hour ride was filled with lakes and mountains. I got to the hostel and dropped off my bags before heading off to see the town. The lake was awesome and full of sailboats. I sat on a ... Read more >

I enjoyed the nice breakfast again and then I caught a bus to the airport. My flight to Zurich bounced my through Hamburg on the way. My first flight was delayed. Also my second flight was delayed. It wasn’t enjoyable. I finally arrived in Zurich ... Read more >

After sending Bonnie back to Canada from Zurich, I stood in the airport all alone with nowhere to be. I could get on any train I wanted, go in any direction, to any country (with my rail pass), and I still didn't know where this freedom would take me ... Read more >

We had now arrived at Ancona, Italy, and had to catch a train to Florence. We walked off the ferry and onto the vast expanse of concrete that was the port. We did our best to dodge the semi's that were barreling out of the port, and managed to survive ... Read more >

I write this from arguably the best internet cafe I've encountered - plush leather office chairs, euro-style techno music... the almost palpable gamer culture is more evident than the Greek culture... because YES, I'm in Thessoloniki, greece! In ... Read more >

The internet at the hostel is terrible. It just has these spasms where it doesn't work for a minute or two or three, but it continues to deduct your time. Well I was checking email just now and trying to check in for my flight and I had two minutes left, ... Read more >

I made it to Zurich just fine... it seems that sleeper cars on night trains are actually quite comfortable and I slept the best since coming on this trip. Am seriously a fan of sleeper cars. My hostel is clean and huge and also the nicest of all of ... Read more >
