Fun in Europe

[ghini]

My cousin Ashley is about to graduate high school. She and I will be taking a two week trip to Europe in June. Anyone have suggestions for places to go?

We will be flying in to Dublin, then heading to Amsterdam, then to Berlin. All I know I want to see is the Guinness brewery in Dublin and the Wall Museum in Berlin. Anyone have suggestions for things to do between those two?

If you have time, go to Hamburg. The Rapperbahn is so awesome.

What's the Rapperbahn?

[iknowiona.livejournal.com]

It's Hamburg's version of Little 5, only R-rated instead of PG-13, famous for it's edgy punk scene, and the place where the Beatles played live their very first time. (that last part is a paraphrase of, the Beatles did something really awesome there).

I'd head to Barcelona or Sevilla, but I'm a big fan of Spain.

Not this trip. There's a burn in Spain that I'll make it to one of these years.

Do not go to greece.. I realize this may not have even been an option- but just don't. Not worth it.

My favorite bits of Berlin, from my admittedly slipshod one-day tour, were:

1. Anywhere the wall used to stand. There's nothing there, but just look at it. That's the point. There's *still* nothing much there. It's a weird feeling.

2. I hear they have a great museum dedicated to the city's history. Probably several. I wish I'd made it to one.

3. The Sony Center is one of the coolest and most expensive-looking building-like-things I've ever been in.
