Switzerland

Last night we left Amsterdam and took an 11hour night train to Basel, Switzerland. We arrived this morning at six, which was quite painful. Of course we got off at the wrong station and had to catch another train going to the other Basel station, (they are called Basel SBB and Basel BB. Ohhhhmygod.) and then it was another two hours and one train change to Interlaken. But its SO worth the hassle! Anyone who has been to the Jungfrau Region can understand why its easily one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen! As per usual, the pictures dont do it justice but at least I can give you an idea of where we are staying. I know I promised more pictures, but this computer is painfully slow so here are a few, at least.

Tomorrow we are heading up toward the Jungfrau to camp for 3 days. Its the highest point in all of Europe, so it should make for very interesting camping.. Plus we want to see some Ricolah guys up there.

On the 14th we take another night train to Budapest, Hungary where we will be visiting Jess for a few days!

lots of love,

Montpellier, Paris, Amsterdam and the hippie commune

Sorry its been so long since we last updated the blog.. Here's what we have done since Wednesday:

Took a train from Madrid to Barcelona, (which, in hind sight would have been better if we stayed longer then 3hours)

Took another train to Montpellier- which SUCKS by the way.

Camped for one night at a sketchy French trailer park.. and then in the morning got the heck out of there.

Took a train to Paris, stayed for two days.. but I wish we had stayed longer.

Took 4 hours to find the Eiffel Tower, then stayed for six minutes. Also so Notre Dame.

Took a train (well, several trains,) to Brussels and then to Amsterdam where we stayed in a hostel last night.. in the redlight district. Yeah.

And finally, pitched a tent at Zeeburg for tonight and tomorrow. Such a cool place, I would recommend it if you're ever in Holland. However, its FREEZING here!! Everyone is in coats. Its about 11 degrees/ cloudy..well raining sometimes. But to be honest we kind of like it.

Anyway thats it in a nutshell. More updates to come but here are some pics! ( appologies for the poor quality/ low resolution :( This computer really sucks )

With love from Amsterdam,


its quite difficult to get a picture of the whole thing, especially if you don't want to be mauled by tourists.


Notre Dame



Paris, the cleanest we have been in about a week.


The hippie comune, "One Peaceful World," near our campground.. really creepy in real life.. The pictures dont do it justice. I'll post more next time.
