4 days on tour

this was a photo that was sent from the heineken brewery and is the only photo I can currently access with ease.

so it's day..4? now on the tour. It's such a crazy tour that I don't even count the time passing by days, I count them by the cities I've been. So far I have covered the white dover cliffs of england, pass through france and Belgium, finally arriving at Amsterdam. From there, we went to Rhine Valley, and then onto Munich, where I am currently sitting in a stair well with a borrowed laptop, as the wifi doesn't get to my room.

I've done some wine tasting, beer drinking, sight seeing and sleeping on the coach. I didn't get to get any hashies in Amsterdam unfortunately. I chickened out the first time I saw a coffee shop, and then I didn't get a chance to go again. The Heinikin tour was really good though, I really enjoyed learning about the beer. Wine tasting at the Rhine Valley was quite nice too. Otherwise, it's been really great so far all the things I've seen. Amsterdam has a great bike riding system, something they need in Melbourne city. Rhine Valley is beautiful and now I know a tiny bit more about wine. Walked the same beer halls as Hilter and drank 1L of beer at once, and spent the rest of the city walk a bit tipsy, probably the most tipsy I've ever been with alcohol.

Let me tell you about my fellow tour travelers. A big chunk are Aussie, mostly from Melbourne or Brisbane. One or two Americans, some from Canada, a pair from Singapore. They're all around 21 - late 20's. There are hardly any guys on this tour! There's about 7 of us, 4 having partners, 2 guys traveling together, and me. This means I get a room to myself every hotel so far! Personally, I prefer it that way; I'm picky with my life style.

Now, being one of the few single males, you'd think that's good news for me. Unfortunately, it's much harder to join groups, as most of them are girl groups. Girls tend to stick to each other much harder, so I've had to spread my efforts around a bit. I've managed to make a few friends that I can hang out with on the tour, so all is well in that department. Chances don't look good on the romance side unfortunately.

Anyway, I'm going to try and make more friends. So I'll leave it at that. Just letting my loyal friends that read my blog that I'm alive and well. Haven't lost anything yet, and hopefully it will stay that way.

Again, hope everything is well back home =]

teoh,
