I was nervous traveling alone, but everything turned out great and I met a lot of great people. It was going to be tough to top New Zealand, but this trip was pretty spectacular as well!!! I ended up taking nearly 800 photos (shutter happy much?) so I just selected a ridiculously small sampling (mostly because I'm far to lazy to try to upload more and it takes forever to do which would incringe on time spent doing other important tasks like drinking beer and sleeping) So here it is: Italy, Croatia, Slovenia, Austria, Germany, Czech Republic, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
Trevi Fountain in Rome - much larger than the Vegas version ( I would know, I've seen both)
At the Pantheon!
Colosseum, suckas.
Spanish Stairs
Roman Forum (Cesar's old digs have seen better days)
Pope House (aka Vatican, aka if I lived here I think I'd throw an epic house party)
So it's a big no-no to take pictures in the Sistene chapel, but I'll be damned if I flew 4800 miles to not prove I was there! Hence the up-nose candid shot!
St. Peter's Square
Dirty stinky waters of Venice! But oh so happy to be there!
Going on a gondola ride with some new friends (The gondolier did not sing. Disappointed)
Canals
View from the Gondola
Get the idea? Lots of boats.
Venice felt a bit like a hedge maze with out narrow the streets were. This was one of the larger openings!
Masquerade partaaaaaay!
In Croatia, I rented a scooter to tool around Pag Island. I lied to the guy renting in and told him I've ridden before. I figured it out!
Look ma! I've made more friends!
Safe and sound exploring a lovely derelict building in Croatia
More Croatia! Sights from the scooter ride
Slovenia (who knew that was even a country? I didn't before this trip! Naive? a bit. But travel broadens the mind!) This is Lake Bled.
Postonja Caves - Slovenia.
Dragon bridge in Ljubljana, Slovenia
View from the top of a castle in Slovenia.

I find this hat rather becoming, don't you? Throwin' out my gang signs to represent West Berlin - yo. God, it really is painful to be this awesome...

Honestly! Who puts the TP roll so far from the toilet?! Silly Dutch.
