Day 22 we did a 3 hour bike tour of Munich which was fantastic because our guide was great. It was really funny to have so many people on bikes and for lunch we stopped at the second largest beer hall in Munich which at peak time can sit around 8000 people and the food is so hearty. We then had the afternoon as a free day in Munich though it was a little disappointing because it was a public holiday and no shops were open so we ended up heading back to the ho...

Day 15 was not the best day because we had to get up at 5:30am to pack, have breaky and be at the bus by 6:30 and then head for the internation port to catch our 24hour ferry up the Adriatic Sea to Venice. When we arrived at the port at 7am our tour guide went in to collect our tickets to find that the ferry was running 5hours late so we had to wait on the bus until 1pm to catch the ferry and we weren't very happy with that because it meant instead of getting...

A group of us then went to an Italian restaurant where we had all the traditional food like lasagne and pizza and it...

Day 1: We woke up at 5:15am in London to pack up and were down in the lobby by 6am to have our bags weighed and to check in before departing on our bus at 7am and headed to Dover for the ferry to cross the English chanel where we saw the white cliffs of Dover. The bus trip and ferry took around 10hours to Paris but the trip was entertaining and at one point our tour guide made us speed date around the bus to get to know everyone which was a tad scary and Jess...

Our last day in New York was very relaxing, we called a car service for 6pm to give us plenty of time before our 10:30 flight, cleaned and packed up all our gear and then went for a walk around Brooklyn and to a traditional American diner for lunch where I ordered an Omlette and they asked me if I wanted fries with it and Jesse had a massive burger. It was the anniversary of Bin Ladens death and people were advised not to use the Subways if it wasn't essentia...
