wow i haven't posted in long time
ok people how are we all???? good??? YEAH LETS GO!!!!!!
ok so someone has been on contiki a little too long...
this trip is insane, i've only just had a chance to breath let alone use e-mail so im sitting in florence in an internet cafe carefully watching the clock for when the local tour guide starts. this trip consists of a lot of countries (the first day we went from london - france - belgium - amsterdamn)
so let me give you a breif rundown so far...
AMSTERDAM. so we get the ferry from london to france, drive through belgium and stop in the netherlands for a clog making demo (the guy was REALLY hot and heard me say that to one of the girls... ooops) and a cheese making demo. from there we went into amsterdam, got settled in the hotel then went to the red light district. we went to a live sex show and i got pulled up on stage along with a few other people and the woman made us eat a banana from her. i wont go into details but let me just say that was WAY too close for comfort. so we dabbled in amsterdams other offerings and went back to the hotel. the next day was just sight seeing and drinking a LOT on a canal cruise before going back to the hotel to keep drinking in the bar. i made friends with 2 really nice south africans (update later) and a few aussie people.
SWITZERLAND. unbelievably beautiful and oh so bloody cold. but i saw snow for the first time. the bus driver came out while i was standing in awe in the snow making fresh prints like sarah said was satisfying and found... yes it is. he threw a snowball at me and then it was on. we had snowball fights all day and night while other people randomly came, joined in and left... we kept going. we had a swisco (swiss disco) in the lobby of the hotel cos we were 7000 m up on this mountain at a hotel and you can only go up and down during the day. so during the swisco i'd walk outside and he'd start throwing snowballs then we brought it inside and all hell broke loose. very funny though. i cant get over the alps though, it was one of the most amazing things i've ever seen. oh and 3 guys did a nuddy run in the snow at 2 am. so funny.
AUSTRIA. surrounded by the alps aswell so it was also amazing. added bonus that is is pretty damn cheap. we saw the christmas markets which were cool and some strange man followed me around for 40 mins but i ended up loosing him by doing a james bond stunt. back at the hotel we drank a hell of a lot and i picked up a local. you gotta mingle with the locals after all its all part of the experience.
VENICE. once again.. amazing. i love water so this was perfect for me. we went on a gondula ride and our dude sang.. so funny. made a lot more friends by this stage too so we took over the bottem floor of a small restaurent for dinner. the cops came in and we were taking photos with them (i swear calvin clien does the hiring for police and security guards over here) we drank a lot, sang a lot, the restaurant owner loved us and handed out free ciggerettes before we left. went back to the hotel and drank in the bar until the owner said we had to leave or we wouldnt get breakfast. some idiot thought up a great game where they call your name and bang on the table until you skull an entire glass of wine. i got so drunk i fell out of the shower... thats right, i didn't fall IN the shower.. i fell OUT of the bloody thing. it was a bath with a shower head in the side wall (horizontal instead of vertical) and i just fell backwards and over the side of the bath. i didnt hurt myself and i was laughing for 10 minutes but the next day i felt it.... who falls OUT of a shower????????
ROME. arrived in rome late so the first experience was at night. we went to the treve fountain and few other sites. had dinner and while it was great, rome isnt my favourite place. the next day we went in early for the vatican and went through the whole thing. st peter's church thing there.. is breathtaking. i was so overwhelmed when i walked in there and the pope was there when we were as well. i didnt get close to him though, it meant too much to other people so we stayed back.
i am currently in Florence and am about to go see the sites... a few little other things
1. there are 2 guys i'd go for on this thing. the bus driver and a south african (not the previously mentioned one) however this will not be attempted till the END Of the tour and probably only the south african
2. people are starting to piss me off. one guy on the tour was swearing and going off the the guy at the desk didnt speak english.. WE ARE IN ITALY!!!! and also is complaining about the time spent on the bus and only a day or two in each country. that was all on the itinery stupid you picked the damn tour.
3. they play the darkness 'i believe in a thing called love' every morning.. he he i love it!!
gotta go
love you all nat

Hello. sounds like you are having a great time! Yes maybe the bus driver isn't such a great idea! Dani, Brony and I went to see Tea Party on MOnday!!! It was sold out and I had floor tickets. We stood right in front of Stewart it was totally awesome! They played heaps of great old songs whihc I haven't seen live before! Kathy is officially unemployed, I am still looking for a job. Bronny is buying Kathys Valiant off of her, and Dani is good!Where are my post cards???? My nanna is coming over for christmas and I am very excited! I am going home to put up the Xmas tree today.
I love you girl so take care!!!
