Cinque Terre and Athens

The Parthenon!

Our ferry from Italy to Greece. Pretty much a cruise ship that carries a bunch of trucks.

Vernazza, one of the five towns that make up Cinque Terre. The village far in the background, right on the corner of the coast, is Monterosso.

Switzerland

I guess you could say we hiked until the cows came home. A great jeans and boots combination by the way.
The view from our hike from Gimmelwald to Murren.

The view from the street in front of our hostel in Lauterbrunnen. Just an outrageously gorgeous place.

Our hostel in Interlaken, probably the best we've stayed in all trip. I believe that's Jungfrau in the background.

Amsterdam

The streets and sidewalks in Amsterdam were lined with these guys. Yes, that is XXX on them. Yes, they actually look like....that.


Our hostel, the Marietta. The long boat with all the windows next to it was our breakfast boat.

Steve in our room on the boat.

Paris

Bwahahaha!


The view of Champ de Mars from the 2nd level of the Eiffel Tower. The view was a sea of buildings expect for this little area right next to the Tower.


The Arc de Triomphe. The traffic circle around it is ridiculous: 12 streets feed into it and there are no traffic lights or anything.



Me in the Pyramid at the Louvre.

Barcelona

Our hostel overlooked a street called La Rambla, sort of a crazy 4th Avenue kind of place. Here we witness the convention of Michael Jackson impersonator and Gold Man.

The water in Barcelona was crazy. It looked exactly like the picture: teal out to the shelf, then a defined line where it goes to a deeper blue. No fade, just a perfect line.


The beach in Barcelona, what else?
