Hello there. We're currently on our last day of the adventure (if you don't count the next two days of travel on train and plane) which means that both Geri and I are sick to our stomachs and getting very quiet as we are both emotional people who think too much about depressing stuff, including the end of this trip. So to get my mind off it, I'm providing you all with the last of the trip statistics. Sad day, yes. I'll have a few more blog entries after this to let you know about our time in Prague and a sort of "wrap up" of the trip also. But on with the good stuff first... And again, credit to Geri for the input.
4 (or was it 5?) - trips made to the buffet by Mitch. Impressive, to say the least.
1 gajillion - our estimation of the number of baguettes baked in Paris on a daily basis. Really, if anyone has any idea I'd love to know. We're fascinated.
4 - number of different places we've stayed in Europe (in terms of accomodation)
3 - number of times we've been placed on the top floor of our accomodation. And there are always at least 4 stories. Yet we still are hopelessly out of shape... strange.
31 and counting - number of days mourning our time on Ko Chang. Won't ever stop.
80% - amount of time spent stressing about ending our trip and being back in this so-called "real word" with a so-called "job". What's that? I think it's something I don't want.
A disgustingly high number - the amount of post-Thai tanned layers of skin we've left behind here in Europe. Peeling sucks!
1 inch - how deep of an imprint our socks made on our calves after about 18 hours on the airplane traveling from Thailand to Europe. Scary!
11am to 1pm - the time range when we justified eating lunch even if we weren't hungry. Who cares - it's lunchtime so we should be eating.
7 - minimum number of syllables for a German word to exist (or so it seemed). No need for more than one vowel in the word.
70% - the amount of English words present in Prague on a daily basis in ads, stores, music, etc.
10% - the percentage of people in Prague who can SPEAK english. And it may even be less than that.
2 - somersaults I achieved to avoid head trauma during my huge spill from my bike in Amsterdam. Embarassing.
12 to 16, and 70 to 80 - the age ranges of all tourists in Prague. And you all know how much I just LOVE teenagers.
Food Addictions:
In Paris - baguettes and mayonnaise
In Amsterdam - waffles with chocolate and sprinkles, bagels and brownies
In Berlin - falafel and beer
In Prague - instant noodles and Nurofen (I've been sick!)
Clearly we've been totally healthy and realize the importance of nutrients in our diets.
So that's Europe in a nutshell for us. I'm on a nine hour train ride to Dusseldorf tomorrow morning where I'll get my flight to New York the next day, which should be a fun two days of traveling! And depression! So let's hope Geri and I make it through our goodbyes and I'll write more when I'm bored in Dusseldorf by myself.
