Still dreaming about our trip

Hi friends! 

As you can tell, I did a fairly awful job of posting blogs throughout my trip. The ever so slow computers at hostels and limited time to use them made it a little difficult. Anddd we were having far too much fun for me to sit down at the computer for a few hours.

We did make it home safe, and we did have the time of our lives. I already miss it more than you could know, it almost feels like it was all a dream. I wish I could just decide to go to Berlin or Barcelona tomorrow, as we were able to do when we were there.

We ended up visiting 12 countries and 18 cities... in the order of Amsterdam, Brugges, Madrid, Lisbon, Seville, Ronda, Granada, Barcelona, Nice, Rome, Florence, Venice, Zagreb, Vienna, Munich (for Christmas), Berlin (for New Years), Budapest (our much needed rest city), Krakow, Prague, Berlin-again, Amsterdam... and back home to Seattle.  The first thing everyone asks is "So what was your favorite city?" It's really hard for me to say because everywhere was so different that it's hard to compare them on the same aspects. Rome was incredible because of the history, Ronda was by far the most breathtaking, and we had the best people with us in Munich. But Cayce and I seem to both agree that we had the most fun in Barcelona and Berlin. You can't beat the beaches, clubs, fruit market, and atmosphere of Barcelona. Everyone there is expecting, and most likely, having the best time of their life. Berlin was a little different in the sense that it is not by any means the most beautiful city. However, the people, lifestyle, history, music, and culture of Berlin make it an incredible place. People there truly enjoy life and make the most of it. By that I mean party till 2 o'clock... in the next afternoon. We celebrated New Year's Eve with our 3 favorites Aussies at the Brandenburg Gate where the Hoff performed the night away. I so sadly miss all that Berlin entailed- the Circus, Fam Dang (our favorite pho restaurant), the Weekendthe WatergateTacheles (incredible art studio), and endless amounts of techno.

I will share more details of the trip in later posts but wanted you to at least get the jist of our adventure. I took way too many pictures throughout the trip but here are some of my favs. Enjoy :)

  1. Three favourite Aussies? Isn't that sweet :)

    Some of these pictures you took look awesome, especially the Amsterdam one (sums up the city pretty well). Berlin and Barcelona were our favourite cities as well. We all need to go back soon :)
