In just over 2 months I have crossed a continent. From North West to South East, visiting five very different countries (Six including the Vatican City): Germany, Czech Republic, France, Italy, Vatican and Greece. From here my six months in Asia seem distance, so much has passed since I left. Travelling between both continents served to highlight vast differences between east and west, both in terms of wealth and culture. One day amongst the worlds poorest in India, another amongst the worlds richest holidaying off the Almalfi Coast.
For It's small area, Europe packs in a diverse patchwork of nations and cultures. I only saw a small amount, mostly in the West. As I traveled south from Berlin the climate changed from cool and wet continental to hot, dry and forever sunny Mediterranean. The trains stopped running on time and the people began to talk with their hands. All these variable cultures with only one stamp in the passport and one easy currency experiencing a financial crisis.
Highlights Include:
• Berlin's many museums
• Swimming down the Valta in Cesky Krumlov.
• Art, Art and more Art in Paris
• Parisian street life.
• Meeting Gemma and Nikki in Venice
• Eating Italian pizza, pasta and gelato
• The amazing scenery of the Almalfi coast
• Roman and Greek ruins, such as Pompeii and the Acropolis
• Subsets and swimming on the Cyclades Islands.
