I have arrived at the Clink Hostel in London, whence my magnificent tour of Europe will depart tomorrow morning. I am incredibly excited about my upcoming adventure, which will take me from London to Paris, the Swiss Alps, Florence, Rome, Venice, Salzburg, Vienna, Budapest, Krakow, Prague, Berlin, Amsterdam and other stops in between. Jealous, right? Well, through this blog I am hoping you will be able to enjoy part of the experience with me. Throughout my trip, I will post (hopefully) every day with a few words on my experiences that day and links to the oodles and oodles of pictures I'll be taking.

My travel journal posts will also automatically update my Twitter and Facebook friends, so you may also be able to view them that way. The journal is a service provided by my roaming SIM card, and the posts are automatically updated to mark my location (I believe) once a day. The posts may be a bit wonky because of the automatic setting, but it will cost me less money this way so you will just have to deal with it. :) Long live frugality!
Tonight, I am staying in the Clink Hostel, which was once a courthouse, evidently. I was a bit perplexed as to why the internet cafe was called the "Internet Courtroom" until I walked in and discovered it was a courtroom. They have done little to modify it other than to paint the walls and reupholster the benches (to make it feel more hip, you know). This is my first time staying in a hostel, and I've got to say it is pretty much exactly what I expected: young adults running all over the place, funky music blasting over the stereo, and cramped quarters. But, I like it! And I'd better get used to it, non?
You can check out my photos of the day here.
Hope all is well! Take care,
Alyce
