All good things must come to an end...

... I mean, you probably are not as excited about these Europe 'tips' as I am, but I think that 'the last of what I learned in Europe' would be a pretty boring title. At least this way, I got you to think of a famous quote. Now don't you feel smarter?


Appreciate the showers you have, with the non-stop supply of water … unlike showers in Europe, where you have to press the button every ten seconds

Dressing up to enter the Monte Carlo Casino is overrated, why not just go in in flip flops and jeans? We did … as Alex says, ‘Eat that James Bond’

Some nights you just need to relax and rent a movie like Casino Royale

When wearing heels, be careful not to step in the sewer grates, esp when raining

When you hear the clip from Pink Floyd repeatedly about a thousand times, it is permanently engrained in your head

Everybody, I mean everybody, knows the song ‘Livin on a Prayer’ by Bon Jovi, as we found out in the Karaoke bar in London

When wandering, you will find what you least expect or could not find otherwise, aka Tiffinbites, statue of Peter Pan…


Peet-uh (Peter) is one of the best names in Britain


Who says you can’t find the ground that Orlando Bloom walked on and kiss it?

Sometimes the idea of customer service is highly undervalued


Do not be surprised when the keyboard changes every country you visit


Trolls make good friends for snails


The bells and organ of Notre Dame, also priceless


Mass at Notre Dame beats mass at the Vatican ten-fold


It does rain quite a bit on that damned continent


There is nothing quite like throwing a snowball in June, try visiting an Alp


You never know who you will run into again, you may see Iceland! unexpectedly in Salzburg a few times after sharing a tour with them in Appenzellerland


There is a big difference between the terms ‘sprinkling’ ‘raining’ and ‘pouring’, especially when wandering the streets of Venice, lost completely


The best bus-driver there is is the Water Bus Driver in Venezia, however, the rope-throwing-guy hates his life


I guess to close this, I just have to say to ENJOY LIFE! Make the most of your trip - do everything you can, anything you want, nothing you will regret.
