Just like the Bible. But on the Internet.
Fact # 1: Order as much as you want. Because chances are, your rich Chinese Tycoon groupmate is going to pick up the bill. Like he did a couple of times before.
Fact #2: Try not to blurt out “WHO THE HELL IS RICHARD?! WE DON’T HAVE A RICHARD IN THE GROUP!” Because chances are, Richard is the dude sitting in front of you whose name you can’t recall.
Although everywhere we went in our trip was made of awesome, two countries really stood out for me. The first was Italy for the food, the people, and how their language was easier to understand than the rest of the countries we went to (just add a vowel at the end of any given English word and more often then not, you’ll be understood). And the second would have to be Switzerland.
Not because they decapitate women who want to go to the bathroom:
Or how sometimes their restaurants aren’t restaurants:
And not because I think their flag is the coolest flag in the world, but because one of the places we went to in Switzerland was this ski resort on top of Mount Pilatus. Which is as awesome as it sounds. Not only did we have a snow covered mountain top to play in, but it had all these caves which we got to explore while we were there. And I’d have you know that this was my first time to see snow. So to commemorate the event, I made a video of my first time in the snow:
Before anything I’d like to take a moment to talk about a few things that people may forget to tell you about their respective Eurotrips; a few things that our pictures fail to convey.
Our trip lasted for no less than 12 days during which we had at least 9 locations in 7 different countries. And I think it would not be an exaggeration to say that we spent 40% of that time on the road.
Our typical day consisted of us getting up at 6am, eating breakfast at 7am, and hitting the road by 8am. Would spend an average of 4-6 hours before we reach our first stop, where we get anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour to roam around and take pictures. We’d hit the road again for a couple more hours for our second stop with the same amount of time for pictures and exploration. Lunch is usually taken during this time. Then we’d hit the road again for around 4 more hours for our next destination—which was usually a different country. At one point in our journey, we had breakfast in Amsterdam, lunch in Brussels, and dinner in Paris.
