A river side bar, complete with sand and deck chairs and the most important element... Pina Coladas!

We caught the train to Berlin. We stayed in Friedrichschain which is right near the mural section of the wall. We couldn't work out the metro so we walked absolutely everywhere.

Amsterdam living up to its reputation.

Four star hotel on the canal in Amsterdam? Yes please.

Note to self... never follow Paulo.

Ah Madrid. I spent five days embracing siestas and fiestas. What's not to enjoy?

Belgium was beautiful! We stayed on a farm with lots of piglets, rode bicycles around the country side, ate waffles and chocolate and strawberries, exploded gunpowder, had day trips to Brussels and Antwerp, walked through trenches.

Photos from Georgia.

Olivia and I spent a day at Prague zoo. The 'twilight zone' was quite amazing, bats flying around you... much to Liv's dismay. I found her crouched in a corner calling my name.

Here comes the serious back log of updates. Currently in Berlin. Since Prague I have been to Belgium, Madrid and Amsterdam.

Old Town, New Town and the Jewish District. Everything is very old here... even New Town was founded in 1348. Free walking tour with Colin the Scotsman, definitely worth it.

And then walking around under the castle looking for Lennon Wall.

Wandering around the castle...

We made it to Prague!

The Czech Inn... get it...

We had Mexican for dinner... authentic, right? Mmm gotta love steaky steak.

Some Budapest sights...

Not the most tourist friendly place, though it was absolutely amazing, I fell in love with the buildings. It has such a dark history. We went to some baths, which was a thoroughly European experience. I was short changed 10000 forint, though used by primitive hungarian linguistic skills to get it back... Success.

We arrived in Budapest on the 23rd and were very happy to be in a completely foreign country. The taxi to the hostel was very cheap and a welcome change from the cab's in London; the great fund funnel.

Home Made Hostel was so sweet and was far, far above my expectations had been for the hostel way of travel.

Excuse the lack of posts while in London. Wifi was a hard thing to come by for less than ten pounds. London was great. The streets are so picturesque.

In terms of accommodation we had some absolute shockers. Including a pull out bed that deconstructed itself in the middle of the night... whilst I was on it. I stuck to the sofa after that.

Sight seeing was aplenty what with buckingham palace, westminster abbey, big ben, marble arch, tower bridge, tower of london and all the beautiful parks.

Shopping on regent and oxford street, at harrods and harvey nichols was great and I managed to exert some level of restraint... thankfully for the budget.

We had a few nights out with new found friends. Some decidedly bigger than others.

I'll put up a back log of photos soon enough. Though for now, I am going to explore Budapest.

Georgia and I went for a walk around the city to say good bye. We went to Magnolia Bakery and got the Red Velvet. Then we slowly made our way to NoHo and I have come to the decision that I will hence forth be in charge of navigation.

I just booked accommodation for London. $$$ farewell.

Today Georgia and I went to Chelsea Market for a cup of soup. We then battled the heat and wind down to SoHo for a spot of shopping. Finally we battled our way through the pelting rain back to Chelsea... We're having a great range of weather here in NYC.

The evidence...
