Time for a recap . . .

For the moment I'm in Frankfurt (as pictured above) but will be leaving for München and Oktoberfest tomorrow. So far this has pretty much been the pace of the trip. Quick! We stayed in London for 3 nights at a hostal in Lewisham. It was even more awesome than you#d have imagnied. Folks there were awesome and Richard and I had some great times!
Now we're in Frankfurt and things are just as great! Last night we went out to try some local apple wine and some traditional Frankfurt foods. What we got was a 10 liter jug (it's the smallest they had) of apple wine and a HUGE plate os meat layed over a bed of saurkraut. Seriously, it was a plate of meat! Sausages, ham, whatever! It was delicious! And much to my dismay and misinformation it cost €11.50.
Today we forced ourselves to wake up before 2pm and are going to go walking and exploring for a bit.

On the road again . . .

Yes folks, it's that time again. The time to cast off the shackles of daily life in Canada in favor of adventure in Europe. A time to gain, a time to lose. A time to rend, a time to sew. A time to love, a time to hate. A time for peace, I swear it's not to late. But enough of this rhetoric, it's for the byrds!


My plans thus far are as follows . . .

23rd - Departure to London, England
24th - Arrive in London, England
27th - Arrive in Frankfurt, Germany
30th - Arrive in Munich for the last week of Oktoberfest
Sometime after that - Some other stuff

Yes, I find the secret of successful travel is to have a carefully laid out itinerary.
