I'm officially backpacking throughout Europe!!!

If you guys are going to be using trains to get from country to country. Try this link:

Basically you pay one price and use the trains as much as you need to...

We used to use this mostly in the winter when the weather was too bad to ride motorcycles across Europe...

We are flying into Madrid, then going to Barcelona, then Nice, then Rome, then Switzerland, then Munich, then Amsterdam, then back down to Paris, back to Madrid, and then home.

If anyone has any suggestions of "must see/must do" adventures, please feel free to share!!

I forgot to tell you earlier...Make damn sure you don't have any Amsterdam brownies hidden in your bag, before trying to leave there. Customs won't be too happy about it and do you really want to end up on the next season of Locked Up Abroad?...

Rome was one of the best places I ever visited. The Spanish Steps at night is like a small party, or at least it was when I was there. The only trouble I had anywhere really was when I took a train from Italy back up to Germany. The officer in the train while we were in Austria tried to make us pay a bunch more money and told us that we had counterfeit money and threatened to arrest us.

In France, Caen was one of the most friendly places I have ever been. People were so nice there, plus you can go to the D Day museum there and they give tours to all of the beaches from D Day.

Do not forget the Louvre in Paris. If you like art or history or museums or not, this place is awesome. They have the Venus De Milo, the Mona Lisa, and everything else you can think of. If you want to know about some of the more "intimate" things about Paris then PM me on here.

I can't help you out with Spain, I skipped them completely.

Also, if you can swing it, Budapest is a pretty awesome place to visit. Hungary in general is pretty cool. The place where the Ottoman empire began to fall apart is there and there is a statue of the Turk ruler and the Hungarian king built by the site that is gold. It is a pretty awesome site to see. If I can find a picture I will post it later on.

In Rome I rented a scooter (because I could not find a place that rented real motorcycles) and went everywhere on the scooter. It was a pretty cool experience.

Awesome Man! Have Fun! Italia will be the best one out of all them! I go there all the time (Most of my family lives there)...

Sorry that I missed this, but have a blast, and what a great oppurtunity.

You must be crawling out of your skin right now with excitement, or ready to fall into a heap from exhaustion.

I'm very jealous! I'm sure you'll have a GREAT time, though.

While in Munich, skip the touristy Hofbrauhaus and take a train ride to the Andechs Monastery. You won't be disappointed.
