My journey to Europe begins...

[Gavilan]

With a little proud, and a lot of effort, its about time i announce that on december the 25th, my journey to Europe begins

I know some of you must think im crazy by visitng Europe during winter, but, the ticket was a gift from my mother to celebrate my 32 birthday so..i couldnt say no...

To make it short, i will be about2 months in Europe, with just my backpack and all my desire of meeting as many places (and fellow Amigans) as possible.

For sure, i will be in Barcelona, Madrid, Paris, south France (not sure wich cities yet, but maybe Carcassonne, Bourdeaux, Nize, Marseille), Belfast, Dublin, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Nottingham, Warsaw, Krakaw, Budapest, Bucarest, Prague, Brno, Zagreb, some parts of Italy (not sure where yet), Zurich, Salzburg, Ljubliana, Belgrade, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Eindhoven and some other cities i have just to decide.

If by any chance, you happen to live in one of those cities, and want to meet one of the few remaining 100% Amiga user from Argentina, share a beer or a cup of tea/chocolate, let me know, PM,. write me an email or something!

Any hints/tips on what to visit, where to stay (chepaest way possible please since my budget will be very short) any other citis i should visit etc etc etc are more than welcome!!!!

I want to meet as many of you as possible!! Make my dream come true please!!

PD: of course, i have some $$$ saved to buy Amiga gear!!!

If you come over to Cardiff, you can visit our UK office.

@JJ: actually i forgot Cardiff!! Of course im going there as well!!!

I come from a place in Argentina where a big colony of welsh people arrived in 1850´s, so i have a lot of respect & love for welsh people

If you go through Belgium (between France and The Netherlands), just visit Brugge, in my opinion the only beautiful city in Belgium, but one of the most beautiful cities in this part of Europe.

Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Eindhoven

Skip Eindhoven. Unless you have a real destination (a person to visit perhaps?) in that city it's not much worth to look at IMHO (no ancient town center or anything). There's just a lot of houses and some Philips factories and overall it's rather boring (lived there for 12 years).

Rotterdam is cool for it's architecture, and Amsterdam is, well.... Amsterdam. I guess everyone knows it but it's not really my cup of tea (unless when viewed from the Amstel river, in an Empacher boat. Race rowing rules!).

Tips for visiting Holland:
Cities: Utrecht and Maastricht. These cities are 2nd and 3rd after Amsterdam when it comes to monumental buildings, and thought still crowded, it's not a mass-touristic as Amsterdam.
As for places to stay: Bed&Breakfast inns are becoming rapidly widespread in Holland. Quite a few of them are pretty cheap as well.

Yes its possible to visit though I'm not sure what you have in mind as its quite far from the grand forest that they make it out to be in films etc!

PM me with any info about when you're going to be in Nottingham. I'm going on holiday from the 22nd of Dec until the 7th January with family but if you're around before or after then I'll happily meet up with you :-)

You could courier some Amiga items between people on your trip to save them shipping.  :idea:
