Things I love and hate about travelling in Europe

Even though I am still regarded as a naive traveller, you pretty quickly discover the things you love and hate about travelling. Here is just a few I can think of!

Love
1) European Women!
2) European women beach attire (well lack of it really)
3) 2 for 1 cocktails!
4) Being able to buy alchol anywhere and its only 1 euro fo a litre of beer from the supermarket!
5) Siesta.
6) Listening to my mate Tim use his favourite pick up line.....Where do you come from....I might of used that once or twice.

Hate
1) Travelling. Going to the train station and lining up for a hour only to be told you are at the wrong window (in Italian), then later discover that you just missed your train!
2) Nodding off in buses only to wake up to discover that you have drooled all over yourself and everyone knows about it.
3) Being in a bar full of Italians watching Australia loose the world cup match against Italy and to be told that it was "Meant to be!" Get foooked!
4) Finding a clean public toilet in Italy. Good Luck
5) The French....nah, they are ok.
6) Eating. Having to eat is such a pain
7) Loosing weight (I actually thought that was not possible for me and i have sooo much to loose)
8) Trying to get all the necessary food groups from KEBABS. Fricking Kebab stores on every corner in Europe
9) Typing nor,qlly on q french keyboqrd.

Hey Dunc...
Glad to see you are getting around a bit but can't beleive an avid windsurfer that you call yourself would only spend a week in the Mecca (Tarifa) for windsurfing...Just to use up a eurorail ticket. Wind doesn't arrive on a timetable and sods law the day after you left it would have blown its tits off again.
oh well... hope you get some wind in Vas..
