Holiday....celebrate!!

Well I am in Amsterdam!!! I cant believe I am here again so fast considering I was here in June. Its just as fun this tims also!
So where I have been lately.....well I started by flying to Venice....managed to leave the airport without my bags...nice one Carol. Finally got them and spent 2 really nice days seeing the sights of Venice (again) and relaxing. From there it was off to Croatia. I felt cheated when I got there as no one had eve told me how incredibly beautiful it was! I went to Plitvice national park which has 16 aquamarine lakes all joined together via stunning waterfalls. Amazing and truly stunning. From there it was Dubrovnick....spent a fantastic day walking around the city walls. After that it was Split and then Zagreb. Both places it would have been nicer to spend a bit mroe time there. After that it was on to Budapest for me. Did a bus tour around the city and feel a bit of an expert now!! Unfortunately I was there on a Monday and all the museums are closed. Shame as there was an inner city building that had all its windows boarded that was used as a prison during the holocust. Freaky. From there it was onto to Prague which if possible is even more beautiful than what you can imagine. There is the largest Synagog in Europe there but I spent more time looking at local artwork and bought 4 paintings. Hmmm. Will be nice when I am homeless!! After that was Berlin!! Now I already love Germany and have a desire to learn German and Berlin has increased that desire a LOT! It was a fantastic city! I did a free tour (if anyone is going to Berlin I cannot recommend them highly enough..they work for tips only and are fantistic...type Berlin free tour into Google) I felt like I got so much information from her i didnt do much else as was all a bit of a rush and now am in Amsterdam today! Brilliant!
Anyway this is a lightening explanation as to why I have dropped off the planet lately! Also I forgot my address book so the only people who got postcards are the ones whos addreses I could remember. Sorry!
OK off to a coffee house now!
