London

London was our first stop in Europe. We stayed in what would have to be the dingiest hotel in town but it was in the middle of kensington which was good.
Jet lag saw us going for long walks in the wee small hours of dawn each day... still managed to get quite a lot of shopping done though.

Cornwall

Not many good photos of Cornwall I'm afraid. I'm using my phone camera and it was playing up a bit. Cornwall was the best part of the trip surprisingly enough.

Barcelona

I left Lily in Cornwall and went to Barcelona for a week to satisfy my Gaudi cravings. Barcelona was the only place we visited where I didn't really feel entirely safe. Maybe it had something to do with the pamphlet published by the tourism ministry and given to me by the hotel. It was basically a long list of do's and don'ts to avoid being mugged.
Despite that the city is magnificent, very cosmopolitan, bustling and vibrant. The architecture is amazing, and not just Gaudi's stuff. Wine (Vino Tinto) is about 1 Euro per glass so it can be fairly damaging.

Paris

Met up with Lily in Paris. Spent three days there, hotel was great and pretty close to everything. The thing that amazed me the most was the casual attitude toward parking.. apparently they leave their cars in neutral without handbrake so others can 'shunt' their way out of a parking spot!!

Rome

We stayed at a hotel/guest rooms place in Rome called Tamara's Suites. And we can't rate them highly enough! The place is in Trastevere which is easy walking distance to just about everything. Trastevere itself is a really cool place to be, lots of bars, funky shops and cafes.
The Vatican was pretty much a rip off.. they charge for everything there and don't like people taking photos. I managed to get one off on my mobile phone of the Sistine Chapel before I got hissed at.
Rome is one of those places where you throw a stone and you'll hit something older than 1500 years.. I nearly did my neck in trying to take it all in.

Prague

After absorbing the initial magic of Prague the second thing you realise is there is (almost) nothing in the place that isn't there for tourists. I've honestly never seen an entire city devoted to tourism before but I sure have now. A bit sad really, especially for the locals who've been moved out of the old town to make way for the hordes. EasyJet has some answering to do.
That said I can recommend two places that still cater to the original Bohemian crowd. Blues Sklep (Blues Basement) is a great little blues club in the basement of Hotel King George. The basement is over a thousand years old and has a great ambience to it.
The Literary Club is just around the corner in a laneway and is still frequented by those crusty old Bohemian writers and artists.. if you enter this bar you might as well take a pack of smokes with you since you'll be smoking anyway just by breathing the air.
