So there it is: a fairly flat out schedule, but it should be pretty awesome. When i am travelling around Europe i will be alone for most of the time, and i realise that each city deserves far more time, but i chose these countries finally based on the availability of cheap airfares. Because i was keen to go to almost everywhere, i figured i might as well go where i could afford! Good news though, i am meeting friends in Prague - Christophe from Paris, Sonny from London (formerly Young - my home town), and hopefully Karin and Dany, the two friends i visited in Switzerland in 2000! So it will be quite an international gathering! Should be great.

When i get back to london on the 15th of December i will meet up with my sister again, and Kate will fly in from Hong Kong too, then we will have 5 and a half days together to look around and catch up. Then we all catch the train across to Paris, and meet up with Christophe in Paris for a few days, then to his parents house in the suburbs of Paris for Xmas! Next, we take the fast TVR down to the French Riveria on the Mediterranean and stay there for a few days - hopefully visiting the cities and towns i listed - maybe others too or instead. Then, we catch the train back up to Paris for New Years!! Then i will hopefully stay for a week - assuming i am able to ammend my return ticket. Should be wonderful! Christmas with a great french family, New Years eve in Paris, and a whirlwind tour of Europe - all with my dear sister, my great friends Christophe and Sonny and beautiful Katie - and possibly Karin and Dany - AND i will get to meet Christophe and Kate's families! Stay tuned for photos and progress reports!
