So where do we begin. Where did we last leave off. Oh yeah, some quick Egypt pics first:
The Al-Azhar mosque in Cairo, one of the first universities in the world!
The Muhammed Ali Mosque in the Citadel in Cairo
Okay now that we got those last Egypt pics out of the way...its off to Geneva! We landed in Geneva and our first impression was "Cute city...but....what the heck do people do here?" We met up with Yin who graciously took us around the UN, which was pretty cool...although everything about the interior of the Palais totally reminded me of a high school, with the small rooms, hallways and class bells (okay i lied about the last one)
The UN!
Dan totally passed out in front of the UN entrance. Surprisingly we were loitering out there for an hour and no security guard even approached us....makes me a little nervous about the welfare of the compound
Then we booked it to Zurich. Bought an 80 franc train ticket....and NO ONE checked it the entire time. Crazy honor system they have going.
We ended up only staying about 12 hours in Zurich...again, cute city, but absolutely nothing to do.
Then we totally booked it to Munich...and...
Welcome to Bavaria, where you can get beers the size of your face!!
Then met up with Alison - my BE homegirl (who's turned quite German)
The next day we totally rented out a Smart Car!!
Sooo cool! Totally rode that on the Autobahn, which and tried the hardest to go fast (maxed out at 160 km/hr while all of these Audis and BMWs were zipping right past us)...it was quite pathetic...poor little car.
Then drove over to Neuschwanstein...
Supposedly it was the inspiration for the Disneyland castle...but the resemblance isnt all quite there in my opinion. Still a very very nice castle (and gave me yet more ideas for my future house...)
After a few days in Munich, bolted off to Cologne! Where I found quite possibly my most favorite thing in the world...
the Dom!!! OMMMMGGG its SOOOO BIIIGGG!!! (TWSS)
Like seriously, it took us 20 minutes to climb to the top. Absolutely absurd.
PIGGY!!!
Okay, now in Dusseldorf making some pizza from scratch with Alison and friends!! Pics to come!
Did you make the pig squeal?
