Hey all!
It’s only 5 more sleeps till I’m jetting off across the world to Europe!
As you probably know, I’ve going over there to meet up with my best mate from school, Paul. He’s been over there all year studying / working (and having a ball, from what I’ve heard!)
I’m going to be flying into Paris, arriving at 6:45am on the 28th of November. Paul will be meeting me there, and we’ll probably stay a few days in or around Paris, before heading off to the south of France. From there, we’ll be traveling through Italy, and Austria - and hopefully making lots of stops along the way!
Most of that is still undecided, and we’ll just play it by ear. From the 12th of December, we’re going to be in and around Berlin. A friend of Paul’s is going to be there at the time, and we’ll be staying in the same hotel as her (a nice cheep one - 22EUR/night).
We’ll be leaving Berlin on the 17th and going across to Strasbourg (west side of France) where we plan to stay until the 22nd. Most of Paul’s time over the last year has been spent in Strasbourg, where he’s been working/studying. Hopefully, we’ll also be able to fit in a day touring around the wine districts - and sample some nice French wines!
We’re going to be spending Christmas with some of Paul’s family, who live in Holland. So as soon as we’re done with French wines (not sure how easy it’s going to be to drag me away from them!), we’ll be heading over to Geleen. Hopefully, for the first time in 16 years, I’m going to have a white Christmas! Other than the cold factor, I’m definitely looking forward to that.
Sometime after new years, we’ll have to make our way back to Paris, as we both fly out on the 6th of January, arriving back in Melbourne at 11:55pm on the 7th of January (with a stopover in Bangkok, and a quick stop in Sydney).
I’ll hopefully see most of you before I go - but if I don’t see you, know that I’ll be thinking about you all while I’m away! I hope you all have a blast for Christmas and New Years, and I look forward to catching up with all of you again when I get back!
Love you all!
Rich. (aka Dick, from “Dick’s Adventures” - thanks to Rachel for the idea!)
