It all began
simply-an idea thrown around
while working in a hot
warehouse. "You know...we
should just quit our jobs
and go to Europe". He had
just got his university
degree and me, well, I'm
always up for a good trip.
The next thing we knew, on
March 11, 2000, my boyfriend
and I were boarding a plane
heading to Amsterdam.
We had done our homework as much as we
could, trying to plan what we could on the internet. What we didn't know was
that the decent cheap double rooms are reserved well in advance and chances are
should you just show up, the cheap ones that are left are, well, left for a
reason. We learned that lesson fast and spent several days booking months ahead
for the countries to come.
Other lessons:
Our favorites? Well, we had a great time
everywhere but these cities deserve a mention:
San Sebastian, Spain
Barcelona, Spain
Cinque Terre, Italy
Rome, Italy
Bergen, Norway
London, England
Brugges, Belgium
Prague, Czech. Republic
Lagos, Portugal
We arrived back home at the
end of September to
beautiful, sunny B.C.
Canada. At first, a clean
bed, no language barrier and
pouring over our pictures
seemed so alluring. Now I am
longing for a little Italian
gelati and a warm Greecian
beach.
Enjoy yourself-it's over way
too soon.
