Wed Mar 17, 2010, 10:21 PM
And so, I am returned from Europe, and I must say, I am quite thoroughly jet lagged.

Let me retell the tale from the beginning!

This is the abridged version.

Day 1 - March 3:

We drove to Kelowna and made it there by 7. Flew to Vancouver via Air Canada Jazz (shittiest little planes ever btw) around 8:30. Flew to Montreal. THEN flew across the fucking ocean. Got no sleep, even though it was night. Saw Ireland in the middle of the night (the lights only, but I still flipped shit). Saw Wales in the early morning light. Saw England. Pointed to mountains (I had a window seat, fyi) in the distance and delightedly exclaimed that it HAD to be Scotland over there. Saw the coast of France. Landed in Paris around 8:30 am. DAY OF TRAVELLING OVER.

Day 2 - March 4:

Got not a wink of sleep on the plane. Time to march around Paris. Arg. Went on the Metro to Les Invalides. Flipped shit when I saw Napoleon's tomb (he's mah fave historical figure). Putted on foot to Musee d'Orsay, but took a detour to a pastry shop. BEST ECLAIR EVER. Wandered a bit at the museum, then passed out from exhaustion on a bench. Walked MOAR, this time to Notre Dame, where a woman was attacked by pigeons. Then walked AGAIN, this time for 45 minutes just to go to dinner. Walk walk walk - to Sacre Coeur, in Montmartre. I wanted to go to the Moulin Rouge, but we didn't have enough free time. The hill to get to Sacre Coeur was hell itself. Bought a beret and t-shirt. Saw the Eiffel Tower light show from Montmartre. Metro back to the hotel, SLEEEPPPPP.

Day 3 - March 5:

Woke up late, blah blah blah, bussed up to the Arc de Triomphe and circled it about six times. Picked up the local tour guide. Drove down the Champs Elysees. Felt poor - there was Versace, Louis Vuitton, Prada and Gucci just on one street. Got a little closer to the Eiffel Tower. Bartered with street vendors - got 5 Eiffel Tower keychains for 1 euro. Bussed to Versailles. Toured the dead gardens, then the palace. SO PRETTY. Lots of elaborate paintings and gilded errytang. After, three vendors were trying to sell us tourist crap, and the popo showed up and chased them away. We lol'd. Drove back to Paris, to the Opera. Then the Louvre. Saw the Monna Lisa (little, overrated), and the Code of Hammurabi, which is a big deal because my law teacher said so. Dinner. Shopping at Lafayette. Felt poor again. More Versace and Prada and whatnot. Got a dress and tights at American Apparel, 'cause I suck. Metro'd to the Eiffel Tower. Dealt with a very bitchy ticket seller. Elevator'd to the top. Overrated. Saw only one monument (Arc de Triomphe). Back down, saw the light show up close, then Metro back to the Arc de Triomphe for free time on the Champs Elysees. Back at the hotel, phoned Buster, SLEEEPPP at 1:30 am. Phooey.

Day 4 - March 6:

Awake at 5. Toodled on down to the icy icy icy train station. Also, it was full of pidgeons. Waited 'til 8:15ish, then hopped onto the train. BAD BALANCE ON THE TRAIN. I tried to speak good French to the cafeteria lady, and worked well, until she said something really fast and I didn't understand, so she switched to English. /disappoint. SNOWY COUNTRYSIDE. ARRGGG. IT WASN'T EVEN SNOWY IN CANADA. Got off the train in Strasbourg. SNOWY AND COLD. ARRGGG. Fell asleep on the bus tour. Got lost during free time. Found an awesome rainbow store and bought a shirt. Hopped on the bus again, and travelled into Germany, to Heidelberg, where, again, 'twas snowy and cold. Dinner. Bed.

Day 5 - March 7:

Well, actually, the hotel was in Hirschberg, but whatever. Bussed to Heidelberg in the morning to see the castle. There's a local legend about a footprint in the castle (the queen's lover jumped from her window to escape the king's wrath, and that was his footprint), and if your foot fits, you're a good lover. If not, you're a good swordsman. Mine fit, lol. Trammed to the city for free time. Shitty cold weather. Sunday, so everything was closed. Couldn't find an ATM, fml. Finally got money after lunch. Bought a bear, later named Donald. Got a beer stein, silly toilet paper, and a pretzel. They aren't that good. Then we bussed to a soccer game in Hoffenheim. H-core chanting fans everywhere. SUPER COLD. COLDEST I'VE EVER BEEN. It took me two hours to heat up adequately after the game. Back at the hotel, our shitty room literally smelled like shit. One of my roomies tried to mask the smell with nectarine perfume, so it smelled like peachy poop. Nice? No.




MOAR LATER! I'll just do five days at a time, a'ight, yo? Also, once I get less lazy, I'll put pics of the trip on Facebook, and the better ones on here. Should be exciting, oui?

Once the strigoi mort was gone, Caitlyn went over to the stairs and peered up toward the balcony. Most of the creatures were out hunting, but still she heard voices emanating from rooms upstairs.

Not just conversations; she could hear Vanessa’s voice and Fane’s low rumble, interspersed with—

Caitlyn snorted contemptuously and shuffled away. “You are a whore,” she mumbled, though even in her head she wasn’t sure which culprit she was insulting.
