Now for Part Two of the journal from my Europe trip.. Part two includes France and Austria but part of Germany, with the famous castle of the insane King Ludwig the third, who built 5 castles, this one the most grand, Schloss Neuschwanstein. Paris and Salzburg.

DAY SEVEN: Late for Breakfast, but met a German family there, ate fast, food terrible, stale and all (wtf I thought it was france!) Coffee good. As it has been the whole trip.. and I dont like coffee! 4 Hour bus tour of Paris. No exploration of Notre Dame!!! pissed me off, I wanted to see that.. One palace.. The square one.. Got to see some bum pee on it, then lay down and sleep. VERSAILLES! Mandi and I finnally achived our vow to see Versailles together (we had social 20 together, learnt about it, vowed then). Less than a year after the vow! Magnificient! Saw a bum piss on it! Took train and Metro, DIRTY!!! Pickpockets, crazy people, bums, pee gutters on the side of the walk ways - POO! Half way up the wall and dragging down the wall finishing with a big fresh load on the floor. NASTY! Back to hotel for dinner, or at least the cafe down the street. Found out later we had HORSE MEAT! Stupid Frenchies! DIDN'T TASTE LIKE CHICKEN!! Sort of like lamb and pork.. very interesting. lean too. Left umbrella at home, went to Eiffel Tower at night. Naturally began to PISS rain. We almost swam there, LITERALLY. Terrential rain! Windy too.. Soaked new Hard Rock hoodie.. SO annoying, 100s of black guys selling the same stupid souvineers. so pushy too!! On the way back to hotel, crazed hobo attacked a student (so funny!) Also - at Versailles, met people from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, (Canada!)!!!!

DAY EIGHT: Early morning, but time for breakfast. Good Mochas. Crepes were disgusting. Metro to the louve for a Rushed tour. Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, Winged Victory of Sam o thrace. After the louve we had an hour and half to go for lunch in the attached mall. Another baguette sandwich.. seems like there's nothing else. That I can understand anyway. I can't trust the French anyway! Funny, before this trip, I had only had one coffee in my life. Since Stratford, I have at least one a day. Its that much better. After lunch and the Louvre, we walked from the Louvre through the gardens, through the Arc De Triumph, to the rive Seine for a boat tour.. For 1and a half ours I finnally finished off my first memory card.. Took long enough.. 1936 pictures on that memory card.. Already 200 into the second (by days end) Have yet to get our luggage from the Hotel and get on the Night Train to Salzburg. - School resumed back home today, spring break is over for them. Sitting in cheap Cafe down the street again. some guy walks past looks at me through the window, turns back, points at my Rush shirt and gives me a thumbs up and smile, and continues. Still, glad I am leaving France tonight (no matter how many Rush fans are there. They are still Frenchies that piss on buildings!) Overnight train to Austria. Looking across the street, there's a city bus being serviced in the middle of the street blocking all the traffic one way- stupid Frenchies! Women are better in London, England so far. Let's see about Germany.

(Later on now...: ) This train is stuffed, Levi and I on bottom, Ben and Sam in middle, Scott and Dylan on the top.
