i'm in london at the mo, its pretty good. i just finished a contiki tour and my fave places were - lyon (france), vienna (austria), venezia and firenze (italy). for me, amsterdam (holland) was such a letdown. it seemed so dull and depressing, although the nightlife was ok, it was a tad scary in the red light district at 4am! i didn't like roma as much as i thought i would due to all the graffiti. i didn't think nice was quite cracked up to all the hype, but i was there on a sunday.. but monaco was awesome! i also loved the countrtside in the austrian tyrol ( sound of music country).. totally breathtaking. seeing it from in a raft in the whitewater ( as oposed to a bus) was unbelievable. soon i'll be leaving uk for the continent again, can't wait!
