Since Mike and I didn't do our original plan of blogging about each place that we went on spring break I am just going to sum them all up into one Post. After Dublin we went to London. We arrived and went to meet up with Mike's friends from College, and went into Hyde Park, drank, and kicked the soccer ball around. At night we went to an Indian place for dinner since we heard that the Indian food was really good in London. It was good, and Spicy.
The next day we did a free walking tour of the city. It took us from wellington park to the Parliament building. We saw, Buckingham palace, the old palace, the horse guard's home(?), Westminster Abby, British Museum and more. It was worth every penny of that free tour. After the tour we meet up with some other friend that Mike and I knew who were also visiting the city. At night we did a pub crawl with the same company that did the walking tour. We went to 5 different bars, and got a free shot and drink specials at everyplace. It was a lot of fun, and I got a 2 pound t shirt out of it, and Kamil got the leader's vest ( he asked for it before me apparently). The next day we saw London Tower, tower bridge, London Bridge, and went up in the London Eye (the Giant Ferris Wheel), and at night went out for a couple of beers with Mike friends again.
That night we had to leave our hostel at 2 am to catch the night bus to catch our bus to the airport which left at 3am. We got at the airport at 4 am to make sure that we had enough time at the airport for our flight at 6am. Needless to say we did not sleep that night, and were up for about 36 hours.
Next was Paris, when we arrived we couldn't check into our hotel when we first got in so we went site seeing. We saw Notre Damn, Lourve, Arc de Triomphe, and the Eiffel Tower all in one day. That Night we had the best meal at this place by our hotel, and it was worth every penny of this expensive meal. The next day we slept in till about 1 pm, since we had been up for about 36 hours, then we met my friend Cody who was studying just outside Paris. We saw the bastille, walked around the Siene river, got some delicious Ice Cream, and then saw the Tower at night, to see the light show that it puts on. The next day Mike and Kamil left and I hung around the city during the day before I went to Cody's place for the weekend. I ended up inadvertently going to an outdoor church service on good Friday and seeing the Trinty church. Then I headed out to Cody's place. That weekend we walked around his town of Cergy, and saw a church and a Park. It was nice hanging out with him and his friends for a weekend.
After Paris I headed back to Athens for 3 days before heading to Cyprus and Ayia Napa. Ayia Napa is the top tourist spot in the Middle East! better yet Europe! We went out and they have the best drink deal every. It was buy one drink get 2 free and a shot. SO needless to say, We had a good weekend. Mike and his Cousin Dave came for two night and we went to 2 different Beaches, One being the Best beach in Europe (Nissi Beach) according to Tripadvisor. However when it came time to leave Tyler and I were going to take the bus to the airport like we did there cause it only cost 4 euro instead of 50 by taxi. However, the bus that we needed to take never showed up. So we were forced to take a 50 euro limo taxi to the airport. But all in all Spring Break was Awesome and a lot of fun.
