A trip around Europe

In and around Paris, France

So, as you know, Fran and I have decided to do a trip around Europe during one month. This was a big organization. We have decided it about two months before and we wanted to leave Paris the 15th of september (2006).

I wanted to have everything planned as I hate arriving in a country and looking for an hotel. So the departure day, everything was planned (hotel, train, town, time to visit it...). I prefered Fran not to help me for nothing (except the destinations) as he is famous for is "organization". :)

So the story started in my house in Paris, we had to go to take the train (to go to the airport). Fran took his bag and I took mine and we went to the station. We were waiting for the train. When it arrived, Fran took his bag and it broke at the front (fucking cheap chinese bag). So we had to try to repair it.

The travel starting very well....

Hi, With our tour around Europe we did more or less all the important capital. We started from Stockholm and went down to the south, to go up to the north and we stopped in Paris as I live there. But after if you want to continu your tour you can go to Madrid and lisbonne after. Have a look on my blog I have finish all the cities we have been. TO do it take an Interail ticket and there is different website to find an hotel or pension for 20 to 25 € per person with breakfast included.
