First sign that my trip is coming to a successful end: My luggage successfully weighs more than me at this point and my feet are swollen and covered with blisters.
Amsterdam was a successful trip. I would mark it as one of the cities that I would love to come back to and explore more extensively some day. Especially the outlying areas. The city is full of life and is like none other that I visted in Europe. And in truth, I think that Eva and I did a great job of picking cities that were each going to be unique and different from each other in our little mini excurion. Budapest was very Eastern Europe, with it's communist history. Vienna was a big romantic city feel, with excitement in the air for the coming Euro 2008 Championships being held in the midst of the city. Frieberg was a small rural town in Germany where you felt safe no matter how late you were out or where you were at. And Amsterdam was a party city, with sex, drugs and drinking laying around every corner.
And after a short stay with the Sevette's back in Beauvry, I am heading to my final destination before coming home - Paris. I will have a total of 6 days to dive into every crevious of Paris, and hopefully then some. Although I have a feeling that 6 days will only be enough to skim the top.
And before I go, there are a few things that I have forgotten to mention as I have been backpacking around the last 2 weeks. 1) I can add Octopus to the list of weird things I have eaten, and 2) first class trains have children swinging from luggage racks.
Okay, I feel better now. You are fully informed.
See you VERY SOON!
