Chewps Euro-Trip Pictures Thread! *Italy Done*

So how I'm going to do this, is post all my england pictures, then holland, and so on through my trip. This way it's not all one post and it's easier for me to manage. Also unfortunately these are just the pics I put on facebook, so as you can imagine, tons are missing from the 4300 I took. Maybe I'll put up different ones later

So heres:
England

We just went to London for Englands side of things, so here you go:

In Victoria Station (I think it was Victoria)


Outside

Hollands post time

Leaving England by ferry and headed to Amsterdam


Me trying to sleep on the ferry


Where we slept on the ferry


Much happier on the train from the port to Amsterdam


Standing in front of the station


Canals


At our first hostel, making my bed


Sort of the rest of the room


Some guys museum


It was pouring one day, so this is a boat filling up with water outside our hostel


Red Light District


The Bulldog


Beside the Doors


They like bikes


The front of the hostel at night


We went here in the day


But...






Anyways, then we went to Haarlem


Accordioning


There was a museum/ gallery up this way, but it was closed (We had good luck with that)


Graffiti (lots of those pics)


This is inside a church. Each floor stone is a grave essentially...


The ceiling


The beach we found in Haarlem. Pretty windy.




Next, on to Den Haag

Our hostel had a deck onto a canal


Luxury. There was a weird guy in this room that kept asking us about hockey


Ahoy


They like their canals


Library in Den Haag


Then we went to the Escher museum...which was having a royal hats show


A particularly badass self portrait of Escher


They had stylized chandaliers too


Familiar?


Old lady feeding some ducks


All over downtown there are short pillars with art/ statues on them


I wanted chocolate milk, so I bought this. Then I found out that Vla isn't milk...its pudding


On a beach in Den Haag


Water


Dur hurr


These seagulls were so loud and annoying. Theres a video on my youtube now




And now on to Rotterdam

Look at me, Im in Rotterdam


THIS was our hostel...


It was the worst place ever


Cube house forest


Checking them out


Inside


Another


Their first skyscraper


This is the sonneveld house. One of the coolest houses I've ever seen. It's super old, but was made to be ultra-modern, and still feels like it is today.


Rotterdam is big on weird art. This is on the roof of a building (theres a bunch of them on various buildings)


As I said....


Rotterdam war memorial


Rotterdam has a huge park in the center, essentially the lungs of the city


In that park is the EuroMast. You can massively overpay to go up it if you want


The greatest thing ever. The pancake boat. You go around the Rotterdam harbour and eat all you can eat pancakes of various types with tons of topping varieties. TONS of screaming children though, we were the only people over 15 that werent there with children of our own.


I got bacon pancakes



Next post will be Germany!

I don't think winged penises are forum safe

The more I think about it now, the more I like it. At first it was kind of underwhelming, since everyone always goes on and on about OMG ITS LONDON! and it's essentially like any other huge city, but I certainly did like the city. Cool landmarks and such and lots of history. But yeah, I'd love to go back, the city was nice, just very very pricey

Sure isn't, but I can see why you'd think so. It's threadless.
Anyways, I'm doing homework and such now, I'll have Germany up sometime soonish

^^lol

Im jealous. 

chocolate museum


They dipped wafers in this and we ate them. Awesome


Then we had a picnic by the river


Crackers and cheese. Small coke can


Also, they have a sculpture park. Weird place


Very Nightmare Before Christmas


Watermelon Chocolate


This is at a music bar called Electra.


Goodbye goatee


Teabagging


Another idea of how huge those spires were



Oktoberfest pictures are next


Edited by choopie911 - 10 February 2009 at 5:45pm

So after Cologne, we went to Frankfurt

Me looking out our hostel window


To take this picture. You can see the train station there


Cool section of town we found


Awesome bratwurst and fries and such place we ate at




NOW I'll get working on Oktoberfest pics

Then we went to check out downtown Munich, and I spotted this


Nice church. Super intracate inside of course


Palace. Kind of interesting having an oldschool center, and glass wings


Memorial


Horsecops




We were there on a national holiday, so NO-ONE was working. Thus, everyone was going to, or at Oktoberfest. It was POURING rain this day, but it was packed, as you can see by the subway





We did find the famous Hofbrauhaus downtown though


But good luck getting inside


Then we hopped on a train overnight to Venice. This is during the night as we went through Austria. It was snowing



Next stop, Venice
