Eurotrip!

It is now July 15th and I have been traveling across Europe for one week. But before I get to going through what I have been up to, I might as well give you the big picture.

In April I firmed up plans to move to Africa for a year, working on some mapping projects for NGO's in Ethiopia, Kenya and South Africa. However, no Canadian airline went directly to Ethiopia, so I would need to stop in someplace in Europe on the way. Now, seeing as I had a friend in London, I decided to stay there and see a bit of the UK (see previous blog posts). Also there was a colleague that I wanted to meet in the Netherlands as well. So, rather than just have a quick meeting in Wageningen and then return back to London to catch my flight, I decided to make a trip out of it and my friend Alex and I bought EuroRail passes for 10 travel days in Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg), France and Germany. This way I could have a meeting in the Netherlands, and see much of Europe as well. The following blogs are an account of the cities that I saw and the adventures I went on.

Last note is that I did not take my laptop with me, so I can't put up photos as usual in my posts... I'll do what I can
