Memories...

Post by ciden »

I just went through all the postcards, photos and memorabilia of my European trip last year - and I want to do it again! Went to London, Belgium, Germany, France, Switserland (which I liked the most), Italy, Monaco and France.

I wonder what it would cost to have my car shipped to say London and then going on a road trip through Europe - so many things I want to see and do again! London @ night was awesome - we were a bit naughty, but what da hell, you only live once :lol:

Just want to say, you guys living in Europe - enjoy, you don't know how fortunate you are! (Now I just sounded like me mom...)

I was thinking about that the other day (with one of my mates)...

As much as we b***h about living in the UK, it really isn't that bad!

Shouldn't be, the UK having got rid of the problems we face in South Africa and Brazil at the beginning of the 20th century...

Anyways, about travelling abroad, it must be nice to be able to drive something like 200 miles and be in a foreign country. I mean, going abroad is very expensive for me for example.

The bright side of living in a large country is that I can drive 2,000 km in any direction and still be in Brazil (well except if I go east, in that case I'll end up in the Atlantic). The bad side is that I will have driven through 2000km of poorly mantained, un-policed roads (if you don't like having lots of Police on the roads, you should see the carnage they become without the cops: 60,000 killed in car accidents in Brazil every year, no.2 cause of death after heart problems). In any case, I have a project to drive from coast-to-coast, Brazil to Chile, and of course I'll be driving my Polo!

Now all I need to do it is to save some money...
