Wow, what a trip!

Posted by Pegosho - July 25th, 2011


Many of you might not know but today I arrived from a long-ass Euro trip that lasted 23 days. IMO, this was teh best trip of my life.

My adventure started at:

1. Barcelona (Spain), a really cool structured city, loved all the Antoni Gaudí stuff, especially "La Sagrada Familia" and Park Güell. The night life was great, also the weather was perfect.

2. Venice (Italy), unique, there is not a place like this in the entire world. Really liked the Venetian alleys with all it's little stores and hotels. I stayed in a convent-type of hostel with many religious stuff, was kind of weird but it was really clean so I didn't mind. The sad part was the absent of night life, after 11:00pm, everything was dead.

3. Basel (Switzerland), lovely little city, this has to be the cleanest place on Earth, the was no trash in the streets and the people were extremely nice. I stayed in a cool-ass hostel called YMCA, highly recommend it, and no, isn't a gay place. Also, I swam in a river called Rhine, really cool experience, the currents were impossible to beat, you had to flow. The water was very cold making my lil'buddy shrink 3 cm.

4. Amsterdam (Netherlands), awesome, and not just because of the drugs but because of the bicycles. They made the trip a whole different experience. Riding in bikes made me feel like if I was part of the community. There was a lot of tourism, (wonder why...), the locals were nice people and really helpful., Red Light District was weird in an awesome way (boobs everywhere!) and the coffee shops were trippy. Something that took my attention was the fact that it was always fucking raining. I think I saw the sun like 1 day for 3 hours then bang!, rain again. Aside from that, I think this was my favorite place. (wonder why..)

5. Copenhagen (Denmark), huge city! There was a lot of big structures and monuments. We rented bikes in this city too, awesome decision! I also ride around the Nyhavn Harbor, you know, that cool harbor from wallpaper. btw, I visited the world famous Tivoli and it pwned! There was some awesome machines especially a plane that rotated 360 while going fast as hell. Night Life was great too here.

During Copenhagen, we took a train to Malmö, Sweeden, nice little place. Also, we made a stop in Prague, Czech Republic, holy fuck! It was amazing, the city, it was like been to Hyrule.

Ok, that's all. I kind of regret not telling you guys about my trip, so I could be able to meet some of you in person, or maybe wear a NG shirt so someone would stop me but anyway, maybe next time. Also, I was gonna wear my Speedos and swim from Amsterdam to England to meet Ockeroid but my friends thought it was suicidal, bunch of pussies! :P

Now I'm back. So I'm gonna start animating and stuff while feeling depressed and shit. Lucky me. :(

Yay! We got you back!!!!!!

Reading about your trip made me miss travelling ... I have a ton of sketches from the Piazza Del San Marco (that's not the spelling, and I'm not Googling it) ... and Amsterdam was a wild ride ... fucking ninja buses ... they were so quiet they'd creep right up on you ...

missed you man, glad you're safe!

lol, indeed, those buses were deadly ninjas! I almost got knocked down by 2 of them on my bike. I'm certain that in a parallel world I'm dead as a doornail. :P

I'm gonna try and finish my Pico animation and then make animated shorts, I'm getting tired of 5-6 minutes projects. >_<

Btw, I just saw ur Dinosaur flash, it was funny as hell! I loved how u synchronized the song with the scenes. :D

Interesting post. Makes me miss travelinging as welll. i need to get back to amsterdam

Amsterdam Meet? Do it! :)

Should have told me, I'd have swam out to meet you half way!

I envy you so much. The longest trip I have done is to a camping for visiting my grandparents there, three hours in car xD
