A Guide to using the archives
Check out January 2006 for;
London tourist sites like Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, Harrods as well as Windsor and some London money saving tips
February '06 has the goods on;
Greenwich, Oxford, Camden Markets
March '06 checks out;
Portobello Road Markets/Notting Hill, and some London snapshots
April '06 spills the beans on;
Bath, Brighton and Hampton Court Palace + some of the really touristy things my mum made me do when she visited like go to Madame Toussauds and the London Eye
May '06 is where it gets crazy...
See some Paris snapshots, hear about the crazy prices at Eurodisney... then off we head to Lithuania (Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipeda) and Riga in Latvia. We then jump down to Warsaw in Poland.
June '06 sees the Eastern Europe express continue chugging onward...
Kick on down to Krakow, hear about the Salt Mines and Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camps, whizz over to Wroclaw, then jump down to Budapest in Hungary. We then go to Cesky Krumlov and Prague in the Czech Republic, back to Budapest (read to find out why) and then through Vienna and Salzburg in Austria. Then, somehow I got to Madrid in Spain, via Geneva. Toledo was also examined as the month drew to a close. Wow, busy!
In July '06
Valencia and Barcelona were enjoyed, then Florence, Pisa, Venice and Rome in fair Italy were also enjoyed despite the Italians winning the football. We then swung by Germany, staying with a friend in the Black Forest and checking out Lake Konstanz before stopping for a beer or two in Munich before heading back to London where the whole ordeal began.
That's just a brief summary so if anyone out there is looking for info about a specific place you know where to look in the archives.
