Paris

Only one day in paris, a quick stop-over, on my way to Monaco to catchup with family.

London, Berlin and Paris

After the USA I went to Berlin, visited the "Berlin Story", saw the wall, went on a tour and visited the Memorial for the murdered Jews of Europe and Hitler's unmarked grave.

Also went to a christmas market, where they had the usual Glühwein and a much more unusual ice slide..

Berlin was fun, I highly recommend the New Berlin free walking tour and their pub crawl after!

Avanti

First stop was Auckland in New Zealand. Mostly raining. Managed to catch my flight to LAX.

Found my first night hotel using a cheap hotel finder: hotwire.com

Met up with very old friends Dave, Cam and Cathy. Cam drove Dave and I to vegas, where we indulged in an excellent cocktail at the star-trek themed "Q Bar" at the Hilton. We shared a "Warp Core" cocktail - a huge 10 shot bowl of booze with dry ice added for effect.



We also went to a very amusing comedy show called spamalot and did some considerable walking about looking at all the "upsized" buildings and architecture.

Two more days to go in the USA, then off to London..
