Comment on Stage 1 – Europe by Joel

Thanks for the comment Darby. This really does help me a bit. The choice of frankfurt over berlin, was one made both on time and price. With my onwards travel plans taken into account as well.

You would not believe how many different prices I have for air fares between so many different european cities, it is still slightly confusing I just need to throw them all out and start again with what I have planned.

Some good information for Austria as well, the ironic part of your pharse suggestion is that half the time when I type Austria, I look back and realise I typed Australia.

Your reading about Frankfurt and it’s lack of fame as a tourist destination is accurate as you’ll soon see. Basically it’s a center of business for Europe. The only thing you missed during your transits through Frankfurt IMHO is Sachsenhausen which is on the South Bank of the Main River. Plenty assortment of restaurants, bars and other entertainments. Where else can you get a beer from a bartender from Denmark, walk a block or two and get Pizza prepared by Italians? There are a string of Museums close to the bank of the Main River, Sachsenhausen side.

That being said, I would suggest Berlin! Much more happening and a hot bed of creativity now!

You won’t go wrong with Vienna. This city has alot for everybody. In addition to the many treasures in Viennam I found a visit to the Imperial Treasury interesting. There you will see the crown of the Holy Roman Empire. who knew?
Whatever you do in Austria, this phrase may (or may not) be of interest: Ich war in Österreich für 2 Wochen gewesen und ich hab keinen Kengeru gesehen!

Yeah the real rainforest, with the genuine rain was better

The Alcatraz tour was a 45 minute audio tour, which went through the cell block, and told you a bit about the history.

You really would love the hills in San Francisco, really give your legs a work out.

You saw a live rain forest in Washington, and do you know what it featured for you!?! Rain
Good to see your photos, miss you, have fun on the next leg of your trip. <3
Alcatraz looks like it was fun. Did they do a lot of history talking when you were on the tour or anything like that?
