In all we saw, England (London), the Netherlands (Amsterdam), Austria (Innsbruck), Belgium, Germany (the Rhine Valley and Munich), Switzerland (Lucerne), Italy (Venice), France (Paris).Contiki is a touring company based out of Australia that ca… Read how I did it…

I feel guilty admitting this.
When I was in high school, I really wanted to see Europe. “Travel is the best teacher” said Mazer Rackham. In the 19th century novel I was reading, going abroad “on holiday” was actually something prescribed by doctors for just about any illness. With no means of my own, I realized quite cleverly that my only ticket to Europe was through summer missions work. So I raised the money under the guise of sharing the Gospel to the apathetic Europeans, and I had the time of my life. Nevermind that the group leader hated me and tried to send me home for not being enthusiastic enough, (I still have bad dreams about that
). We actually did a fair amount of sightseeing. It was wonderful.
Countries seen: UK (Scotland & England), France, Germany, Poland, Switzerland, Austria, Slovakia, the Republic of Czech.
Favorite place: Paris
I was seven years old. Dow Chemical sent my dad to Stade, West Germany for six months, and my mom and I joined him for the last three months of it…this was in 1977. We had a house in Stade, we drove to the Netherlands once, and we drove through Switzerland and Italy to reach Sicily. Dad had co-workers/friends in most of the places we went, so we got taken out to dinner, and taken to non-touristy sites fairly often. Like I said, I was seven, but I still have vivid memories of it.
I’ve had 2 opportunities to see Europe. School and Work ruined them both, now, I’m done. So, it’s time to start saving!!
I wanna see the middle east too. Mainly the cairo museum in Egypt.
