On Tour '09

Just recently got back from a 9 day trip in Europe. Our main stops were London, Paris, and Amsterdam.



Aside from being haunted one night while sleeping at my cousins home and an rude encounter with a clerk at the metro station I'd say our trip was awesome.

Here's the Day by day photo summary.


Day 1 - The theme for this day was "Lost". We ended up lost and hitching a ride from a stranger to the train station. Got off the wrong stop and walked for miles before we got to the london eye and Big Ben.


Day 2 - Much better than Day 1. We jam packed British Museum, London Bridge, Tower of London, Buckingham Palace all into one day.


Day 3 - We only had a few hous in London before leaving to Paris. This one of my favorite pics of Fin jumping in Trafalgar Square.


Day 4 - We spent all morning at Chateau de Versailles. Then took a stroll down Champe Elysee all the way to Arc de Triomphe. Then a VIP tour of Paris at Night. This is my favorite photo.


Day 5 - Eiffel Tower day. We spent most of the day visiting parks in Paris


Day 6 - Lunch with the whole family then off to Musee d'Orsay


Day 7 - After being haunted in the middle of the night we went to Louvre this day.


Day 8 - Arrival in Amsterdam. Visited the Van Gogh Museum. An excellent exibit going on right now "Colors of the night". Then took a little canal boat tour and stroll through the red light district only to get stranded at Central Station after all the trams shutdown.


Day 9 - Goodbye Amsterdam.. Goodbye Europe... time to return to MSP.
