When will you be there?

IF YOU'RE GOING TO EUROPE, YOU SHOULD TOTALLY GET A SUN LOLLY.

I actually had to wiki that.

 

"Sun Lolly is an ice lolly for home freezing. Sun Lolly contains 10% juice which gives it a genuine, refreshing taste of real fruit."

 

Only 10% :P what's the other 90%?

IT IS.. IT IS LOLLY. YOU SEE, THE FRUIT IS THE SUN, AND THE REST IS THE LOLLY. CLEVER!

I guess sugar ;)

And water. :mellow:

hahahahaha. Sun lolly. Gotcha. :p

 

I'm in Amsterdam July 27th and 28th :)

I'm thinking of staying in the YHA London Central hostel in London in a private room.

Berlin Hostel will probably be Pfefferbett Hostel in a 6 person female dorm.

 

Venice Hostel seems to be between L' Imbarcadero (5 person female dorm) Albergo San Samuele hotel with a private room.

 

Thoughts/information?

btw, you have the international youth card thing?

i've heard you can access hostel at a cheaper cost that way.

(may that input is stupid and was said before :uhoh: )

:wacko:

I've never been there, but from what I read on other pages this youth hostel is a good choice. It's also located in the district of Prenzlauer Berg which is one of the more interesting quarters with heaps of cafés, bars and pubs at Kastanienallee. The tube station "Senefelder Platz" which belongs to the U2 line is also only 5 minutes by foot. :)

Is that the international student card? I got one from my university during the year :) Definately handy to have to get student and youth discounts. Not stupid, I don't think anyone mentioned it.

 

We have a day/night breakdown planned out we want to start booking our flights soon. The only problem is there was an issue with my sister getting her extension and now she might need to pay $260 instead of $140 to try and get on the same flight as me. :( apparently its all booked up so I don't know...

i'd make sure that one works for that -ask your youth institution or uni there-. :)

Whoooo this took a long time to work out.

We're checking out hostels/places to stay and really need some help with it!

 

I'm also a bit stuck....opinions, would you rather stay in Amsterdam or Barcelona longer?

sounds like it should be quite an awesome trip! Lucky! :)

It's pretty exciting planning it!

We're still looking for the top attractions to see while we're visiting places. You guys are from all over, spread some ideas!

I'm in a debate if I should spend more time in Amsterdam or Barcelona.

I've been to Amsterdam so many times I lost track. I like it there, but I would stay longer in Barcelona.

who will the catalans be supporting at the world

 

 

cup?

 

I few have been following Spain, but the most shirts have been for

Argentina

Chile

 

 

and the biggest following amongst the locals has been the vulezas !

neeeeee !

 

BTW well done Ian ... for reconising Catulyuna is not spain !

BTW I will PM you personal guide to Barcelona !

Yeah, we decided to stay longer in Barcelona. :) Most people I spoke with seemed to lean towards it.

I'd love that! :D We're in the process of booking hostels. I'm so glad all the flights are finally booked. It makes everything seem so much more real!

I suppose it's nice to visit the tourist attractions etc but overall I don't feel it's a city to go to over others.

 

Barcelona is lovely, as is Rome,Amsterdam is nice but I thought it was over expensive too.

 

Also everyones overlooked Moscow.

 

 

Amsterdam is expensive? :awesome: Depends what you're buying.

I love amsterdam!! I'm actually going to be there the 28th july too Amanda! If you're staying in a hostel there, you've gotta stay in the flying pig! Amazing! We usually stay in the one beside vondell park and you're pretty central there. There's lots of tramlines that'll bring you pretty much all over!

 

Sounds like an amazing trip though so have fun!!

Wow! Another blast from the past!:stunned:

Fifi! Amsterdam was the only place we actually booked a hotel instead of a hostel because it turned out to be cheaper! :P I heard about the flying pig from another friend, but they look all booked up! We're staying at Eden Lancaster Hotel in Amsterdam, it looks pretty decent.

 

Been really busy buying a bunch of stuff. I'm spending so much money just in preperation for my trip!

Anyone want to explain to me how transit in London works?:P

I'm there for 3 days, what's my best option?

Is the tube, trams, busses, and DLR connected or do I need to pay seperate fares? How do transfers work (time, direction)

How does backtracking work (i.e. I go one direction then want to head in the opposite direction)?

 

It's so confusing trying to figure it out:stunned:

 

Also, if anyone wants to give me transit tips on any other places I'm visiting please feel free. :D

 

Oh, I'm also going to see the Lion King when I'm in London. So excited!
