Jason AKA: [RT] NegativePwr: 2 Week trip in 1 paragraph
Hello All,
Well sorry for not posting in quite some time. Just a quick go over of the vacation up to this point. We started in Berlin...very cool city and very modern. We saw the bradenburg gate and a few pieces of the Berlin wall. Then we took the train to Frankfurt. The train is awesome...I highly recommend it but if you do make sure you get 1st class tickets. Anyway Frankfurt was ok but a bit of a dirty town compared to Berlin, we only stayed there 1 night and then it was off to Paris. When we got to Paris it was nice. The city is full of culture in almost every building. I did not encounter any of French attitude that I was warned about and the language barrier was far less than Germany. Since we were only spending 1 day in Paris we needed a quick tour of the place. In front of the train station was a driver with a really nice Benz. I hired him for 3 hours at 180 Euros. He took us to all the tourist sites and it was nice because we could stop and get out when we wanted and then continue on....Me and Kern both feel it was worth money and if you are ever there and have the cash I recommend it. We then took the train under the english channel to London. London is a very cool place however the dollar is not holding up to the pound and hotels and meals here are about 2 times what they are in the states. Anyway the first day we jumped on a double decker tourist bus and began riding. It is a good way to see London as you can get off when you want and there a multiple stops around the city to get back on again and they come by about every 10-20 minutes and the pass is good for 24 hours. It began to rain while riding the bus and we were up top in the open. We got soaked........really wet......Anyway the picture above is of the London bridge. Today I met up with a guy from the Parsons London office and he took us to the country and saw the Royal Naval Academy. Tomorrow we are finishing up the trip with Buckingham palace and a few other sites but then it is back to Kuwait on the 11th. I will try to post again with some more pictures tomorrow.
