Well, i guess the subject says it for itself...im travelling to Europe!!
A complete month, from june 23 until july 24. The reason? Well, my sister is getting married (yeah guys, sorry, you missed your chance!!! :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  and i have decided to take the chance and go to Europe.
I will be in Paris, Bierritz, London, Manchester, Liverpool, Amsterdam, Prague, San Sebastian, Madrid, Barcelona, Glasgow and Edimburg.
It will be VERY nice to meet some of you guys, have a little "amiga" chat, and why not, share some pints, beers, whiskies and any other beveragesSo, if you happen to live near or in this cities, drop me an email and we can make some arrangements!

@sebastian

So, you're going to a whole other continent to avoid the wedding? Might have been easier to say you couldn't afford to go because you spent all your money having a load of productivity software shipped from the USA.  :lol:

Er...one month? You can't possibly see whole Europe in one month :-). However should you pass the northern part of the Netherlands feel free to invite me for a beer :-D.

I feel sorry for your sister for getting married, life will never be the same for her...just kidding! :lol:

That's an amazing trip you're going to make. When you arrive in Amsterdam, be careful not to get attracted by the red lights during the night and 'friendly' women behind glas waving at you. Before you know it, all your travel money will go up in smoke and you'll be stuck in this little sh!thole we like to call The Netherlands :-D ;-)

I know i know, but 1 month is all i got at my job here (at least they give me a 1 month vacation!!
Say Odin...do you , by any chance know a guy called Michiel Hess? If i remember correct, he is from Groningen...(and was my sister ex boyfriend)
 :-D
If you come down to Amsterdam, and being aware of that famouse red lights and nice ladies...we can have a few Heineken“s all together
 :-D  :-D

"Wales? Isn't that in Canada?"

Let's be honest, if you were foreign and visiting Euroland, would you put Cardiff on your "must see" list?

Recommendation for Wales: trip to Snowdonia and the north west, visting: http://www.petes-eats.co.uk/ - not really a suitable plan for a flying visit though.

@Gavilan

Hey, hey, hey! What's this? Can't visit Europe in one month? Your northerner (starting from the northern border of Mexico onwards...) brethren do Europe in ONE week! By bus. Rubbernecking all the way, telling you afterwards that when they visited Amsterdam, the capitol city of Denmark which is somewhere in the Alps, well near some sea anyway, yes that's correct, next to the Russian border they wondered where the Pope use to dwell.

Bide your time and have a nice trip!

Regards

Tjitte

P.S. Give us a decent show report, will you?

Can't say I know anyone by the name of Michiel Hess, then again there are close to 200.000 people in Groningen.

Amsterdam, man...that's like the other end of the world! ;-).
