I started the trip, but didn’t get all tghe way across, and of course I didn’t nearly see all thew thingsI wanted too. I started in Suffolk England, where I met an old friend. Together we jumped on a train to London with absolutely no plan or itinerary. We saw amazing things in the British Museum and priceless books in the British Library.

We stayed at a hostel, where we met some of the friendliest people ever- several Aussies, a Yank or two and plenty of Brits.

I had a PSP and he had a Nintendo DS, and we would walk around London until we found someone’s unprotected WiFi signal. We’d use the connection to look up places we wanted to go, train fares, and anything else we wanted to know.

We found a train that would take us to the mainland, and we picked Amsterdam as the final destination. We spent several days in Amsterdam, where we of course took advantage of the city’s infamous coffee shops. Met some great people and walked all over an amazing city.

The train ride back left us with almost a full day in Brussels, which I thought was much more exciting than Amsterdam. The architecture was amazing, and the beer was the best I’ve had anywhere. Belgian waffles aren’t so bad either- in fact, I had two: chocolate and strawberry.

The train ride back was pretty uninteresting as we slept most of the way.

I got as far as Amsterdam, but I’ve also seen Cyprus and Germany. I’ve got another year left in England to pick up where I left off.
