Yarr. Sorry for the relative silence since London, I have had neither the time nor the inclination to do much since. After Geneva I was ready to go home; instead, I continued on to Paris, where I fell ill. And due to a volcanic eruption in Iceland, it looks like I might not be able … Continue reading Amsterdam
À Paris!
Bonjour! Je suis arrivè à Paris aujourd'hui. ... And that's about all the French I can muster for the moment. 🙂
Still alive
Hey, people! Just wanted to let you know that I'm in Geneva(-ish). I haven't figured out the next step yet, but I am working on it. Yarr.
Floating on a boat in the North Sea.
The ferry portion of the trip has officially begun. At 7:45 Central European Time tomorrow, I should be in the Netherlands. Pretty much all I did today was get the train journey and ferry trip squared away, and visit the Imperial War Museum. And it was definitely worth going. I only left because it was … Continue reading Floating on a boat in the North Sea.
London: the final update
I'm burned out on London. Today I took it relatively easily. I walked up to the Albert Monument in Hyde Park, then checked out the Science Museum -- I skipped the Natural History Museum next door because the line-up was too long. Then I took the bus to Trafalgar, visited the Canadian High Commission, and … Continue reading London: the final update
London, day three!
Crazy-long day of walking around. Just crazy. I tried going to Madame Tussaud's wax museum this morning, but by the time I got there (a bit after ten, it opened at 9:30) the line-ups were already ridiculous. I think I'm going to pass it for this trip, unless I have a lot of time to … Continue reading London, day three!
Yet more London
Doh, the computers at this Internet cafe don't like my SD card. No pictures yet. Anyway, today I took a bus tour around London, and explored the Tower of London. The latter was pretty groovy, except that it shut down before I had a chance to visit the Bloody Tower. The former included a ride … Continue reading Yet more London
Brief London updates
Umm. Monday's a Bank holiday in the UK, but apparently all the museums and stuff should be open. So this turned out to be a good weekend to visit, because a lot of people have left the city for a vacation. Getting around has been pretty easy. The Tube is frequent, signage plentiful, and everything's … Continue reading Brief London updates
In London!
YARR! Despite going out drinking Thursday night instead of, say, getting ready to go, I somehow managed to get everything ready and catch my flight yesterday. The line-ups at YVR were minimal; apparently Good Friday is a not-bad time to fly. And, luckily, I was able to purchase travel medical insurance at the airport, so … Continue reading In London!
Curses
