Euro Adventures Pt 6 - The Swiss Alps

So we were about an hour and a half out of the Swiss Alps and a massive sound hissed from the bus... It was as if a tyre had exploded... But nope... The engine... Over heated... We were stuck at the service stop for about an hour and a half while our awesome Polish bus driver did what he could to get us there... It was about 4am by the time we got there... Oh my god. 

In Switzerland there was the option to do a skydive out of a helicopter - which a few brave people chose to do. There was also a train up to the top of the Alps where you could do a few things - and the Alps were snowy and cool. Alysha and I had decided to have a chill day - we did some washing up and had a short nap.



We went for a stroll around Interlarken (the town we stayed in) took in the magnificent views of the mountains and admired the gorgeous houses. We went into a few pubs and enjoyed some ice cold ciders which was amazing - it was incredibly hot. Noddie told us we were following the heat wave that was hitting Europe - which means it will hot (really hot) everywhere we go. 



We had a group dinner at about 830 - with some amazingly delish food - we got to try traditional apple strudel which was sooooooo yummmmm. Our hostel had a nightclub downstairs so we heading down for a few drinks and a boogie. It was finally starting to feel like TopDeck at this stage. Can't wait for tomorrow - headed to Avignon - then off to Barcelona where the real party begins!

Oh the places we will go, the people we will meet, the food we will eat, the awesome stuff we will do!!!!  We are beyond excited.

Euro Adventures Pt 15 - Free in Firenze

Florence, a beautiful place with some beautiful building, magnificent artworks, fantastic food and the weather? BLOODY HOT! It peaked at about 36 degrees in the afternoon in Florence. We started our day by driving from our campsite into the City - most of our accommodation is a fair way outside the city. Once we got there we had to go and meet our local tour guide - Florence is one of a few places in Europe where the Topdeck leaders are not allowed to guide.  Alessandro... Oh Alessandro, he was one of the most hilarious Italian tour guides I have ever seen. He had a very good sense of humour and he seemed a little penis obsessed haha. He showed us around the Palazzo della Signoria, which currently is where the Mayor of Florence works from and houses and exact copy of Michelangelo's David and many other very famous statues from when the Medici's were in power in Florence.  We walked through the streets of Florence looking at all the shops (making mental notes of where we wanted...
