Traveling to and from European countries has never been easier. With stop over flights in countries of your choice, these stop overs enable you to have a break from what is essentially a whole day flight from Australia.

Given the fact that Europe is only slightly larger than Australia in total land mass size, getting around will prove to be much more difficult. Your average sized Falcon or Commodore equivalent in Europe, is the Fiesta and other small Fiat style cars. 

Sightseeing

Europe is well known for its captivating Caribbean, Greek Isles, historic buildings, ancient art and classy civilisations. From skiing the alps and drinking wine in classic vineyards, to the home of Michael Schumacher and all things Ferrari, Europe has it all to see and do. The ritzy Monaco, a sure visitation [though I wouldn't recommend purchasing anything] is also a must see. Prague, the Czech Republic capital, is just a truly beautiful experience, where words can not bring true justice to just how stunning the city is.

My must see country destinations are as follows:

Spain
Portugal
France
Luxembourg
Monaco
Austria
Germany
Sweden
England
Italy
Czech Republic
Mediterranean
Greece
and of course, England.

Interesting Information

Europe is the land of many ethnic cultures with common roots of Christian and Jewish religions and a savage heritage of war. For hundreds of years Europeans have longed for the unity and Pax Romana of the ancient Roman Empire with a common currency, law, borderless trade and language. Only recently through the European Union and European Commission has such a dream finally been realized. In an uncommon era of peace and prosperity, borders have been relaxed and a common currency, rules and regulations have been adopted making it far easier to travel through the Old European cities particularly in Eastern Europe with freedom and wonderful awe celebrating the wonderful diversity of cultures preserved and working peacefully together for common prosperity. Now is the time to celebrate these new found freedoms and reach out and travel to rediscover your neighbors and their heritage.

The cities of Moscow, Kiev, Prague, Vienna, Gdansk, Krakow, Sophia and Budapest await your pilgrimage of new life and new discovery of old heritages.

Join that to travel by rail pass through Madrid, Paris, London, Amsterdam, Munich, Berlin, Warsaw, Stockholm, Rome, Zurich and Trieste and crown yourself as a true European Continental traveler of world class.

I don't know about you, but I'm feeling a little queasy about living in a world so obsessed with a few "terrorists" that they are allowed to control every aspect of our lives in the name of "safety." With impeccable logic it is argued that terrorists take pictures, so taking pictures should be illegal, or monitored at least. Post office boxes are used by terrorists, so I can't get important mail here in the US. Shoes are used by terrorists, so every traveler taking a plane from the US has to take them off and let them be diddled with by fellows in uniform.

I'm sure glad I'm not only old enough to have fond memories of the "free world," but have, in the past, taken some decent pictures of London without incident. These may be the last. From Photography under threat: The shooting party's over:

Perhaps I exaggerate a little: nevertheless, the days when you could photograph freely in public spaces are disappearing fast. In the eyes of many, the camera has become an offensive weapon, as Peter Dunwell discovered when he travelled from Grimsby to London in January. Coming down by train with a work colleague, Dunwell planned to make a photo-journal of their trip. At King's Cross he took out his Sony Handycam and started to photograph the arrivals board and station. Two police community-support officers approached and told him to stop.

Ah, yes, who remembers the Volunteer Militia for National Security? Do chills run up and down your spine?

The article cited above outline some of the broad powers of the Terrorism Act of 2000 ("Section 44 of the act gave police more power to stop and search people in specified areas" meaning places where tourists go). Be careful out there. You must be aware that it isn't only the "normal" thieves who want to take your camera and "film" from you.

Glasgow has been revealed to be the least tech-savvy city in Britain, according to EveningTimes.

Research by Stuff magazine into the use of gadgets has shown that Glaswegians use just 42% of the functions available on their appliances.

This has me a bit scared. Who uses more than 42% of all those buttons on all those clickers? But then:

In contrast, gadget experts living in Wolverhampton got the most value for their money, utilizing almost 80% of their gadgets' abilities.

So I'm thinking' that we've stumbled across a great way to pick the best tourist destinations. Everyone's heard of Glasgow, right? But few outside of Scotland, I would surmise, know of Wolverhampton.

That's perhaps because the folks of Wolverhampton have little to do other than reading manuals and pushing worthless buttons on their appliances. Conversely, we might say that the folks of Glasgow, the Glaswegians, have more interesting things to do than to memorize which buttons control which obscure appliance functions. Thus, between the two places, Glasgow would be the logical place for fun people to vacation.

Now that we've solved that problem, isn't it creepy that there are folks looking so closely at our button-pushing?

Don't know where Glaswegians live? See our Scotland Map.
