Europe (1 Viewer)

Hello,

I'm currently in Europe and I just did Latvia and Lithuania, which I highly recommend. Riga is a good party city, and the Baltic countries have a very interesting history. The Lithuanian coast (Curacian spit in particular) is great, and the countryside is very pretty. I'm in Poland now, I've been to Warsaw, and I'm now in Krakow and they are both great cities. Planning on checking out some smaller places in Poland as well.

Topdeck actually screwed us over TWICE... we were on different tours, and then they cancelled them both. This seriously screwed up all our flights and stuff which were booked in December, as a result the upgraded us to a new tour for free and they gave us free money and they booked us a free flight from Amsterdam to London to catch our pre-arranged London-Sydney Fligiht which coulnt be moved.

Very nice of them.
