Now a month into this trip, I know I've been overusing a few adjectives - amazing, beautiful, gorgeous, incredible. It all is and I would recommend a trip like this to anyone. However, for the sake of honesty, I'll highlight a few of what I call the checkboxes - those moments and experiences in life that you go through and at the end, all you can really say is "Well, I can say I've done it. Check!" Like a colonoscopy or being shit on by a pigeon. So, here we go...
Seeing the manequin pis? Check. He was dressed as a garçon.
Checkpoint Charlie. Er...check. It was the most crowded and touristy place I saw in Berlin and yet I fail to understand why this is a thing.

Heat rash because it is so damn hot, everywhere, all the time? Check.
Roommate that snored so loudly I only got 3 hours of sleep? Check.
Paid 20€ at a kiosk in a train station for a SIM card that lasted all of 12 hours? Check. I've only purchased them from proper phone stores since.
Rude waiters? Check. Though I really have to say that they aren't rude, they just aren't trying to butter be up or upsell me to get a better tip. I think in the end I'll prefer it.
Rude Americans? An embarrassed check. One lost guy I'd stopped to help give directions to then got mad at me because I wouldn't give him my map to take with him. That was funny.
Demonic vermin bastards that suck your blood in the dark of night (aka bedbugs)? Gross...and check.
But then there mornings like this...
 |
| 0,70€ espresso in Ljubljana. Cheapest I found and delicious! |
 |
| Crèpes à la Mike |
And views like this...
 |
| Croatia in the distance |
|
 |
| Innsbruck |
 |
| Outside Vienna |
 |
| Slovenia |
|
And meals like this...
 |
| Pork chop and potato pancakes in Ljubljana |
 |
| Local wine, cheese and prosciutto in Slovenia |
|
 |
| Margherita pizza in Berlin |
And conversations with fellow travelers that leave you so glad you met them and so excited for the next place you're headed that you cannot wait to wake up and see where you will be this time tomorrow, knowing it will be amazing, beautiful, gorgeous and incredible.
