me and my family are gonna be coming back from pakistan at the end of june and are going to stay in europe on our way back...we have only 7 days in europe, so i wanna know what we should do there since we've never been...i know for sure we're going to london and paris, but i'm thinking we won't have time to go to italy...is italy better than paris??...any suggestions for this short one week trip???
I havent been to Europe myself but i still say screw Paris i say go to Italy and visit Rome, that would be so sweet, climbing Mt. Vesuvius (spelling?) and seeing the Collesium.
when are you gonna be there...im heading to londen then amsterdam, rome, nice, paris, and other towns i havnt decided yet. from jul 8-22...time to party europe...red is coming to town...
Doitdickau, what do you like in Spain? First time there. I'm going there for a vacation in about 10 days. Do you know of any allnight internet cafes in the Sevilla area so I can follow this sporting event on the night of June 26th back in the USA? If not I might have to cancel my trip and lose my non-refundable tickets. Or should this go in the "you know your a Rocket fanatic when" thread?
Really depends on what you like or are in the mood for...it's kind of a big place We've enjoyed everywhere we've been: England, Scotland, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy (my wife has also been to Belgium, France and Spain). England's countryside was cool (esp. Lakes District), Scotland was stark and beautiful, Germany was festive, Amsterdam was bizzarre, Switzerland was stunning, Italy was laid-back and historic (and the best food). We're trying to decide between another trip to Italy, or maybe France or Ireland.
glynch, What parts of spain will you be visiting? I don't remember seville all that well. I remember I stayed there, but only for like a day or two. I don't know about all-night internet cafes, there might be some there. But the draft is like at 6/7 central? That should be like midnight there. You'll have no problems finding internet cafes open till 3 am.
Doitdickau, thanks for the info on the internet cafes. You have saved my trip and probably my marriage. My wife wouldn't understand if I had to cancel the trip just because of the nba draft. We're starting in Barcelona for 4 nights, then Madrid one night to pickup a friend and her son. (Coming from Huston on different flight). See the Prado and split. . Then South to Toledo, Granada, Sevilla, Arcos de la Frontera?, Tangiers for a day trip if not too dangerous. Might go to Portugal, too. Lisbon and the Algarve. After Barcelona we're renting a car. Going with another woman and her son. With 5 auto is cheaper than trains. Total of three weeks.
