Travel to Europe

Party wild in Amsterdam

My mum has created this blog, but I had to write this to you :) .
From tulips to special brownies, you can find everything you have never dream of in Amsterdam, almost everything is legal and not too expensive.

If you add to that the beauty of the city and the glamour of the variety of people you can find there, consider yourself a priviledge one if you can see that.

One thing Ifound exciting (a little extravaganza) is the Casino they have in the Airport. yes! in the Airport! it was the best (lossing my money doesn´t count.)  5 hours wait I had to make in my life!.
Of course the little cafés are amazing in every way LoL , I almost forget the RED ZONE! wow, I mean, you don´t have to see the sex in it, just the acomodations, what makes you feel, think, experiment.

They were just like puppies for sale.. although these ones really  bite ;) some of them even had whips! (*shame*).

Of course the city also have his serious side but hum, sorry I can´t speak of that right now (shh don´t tell but I didn´t experience that part ;) ) I promess to look someone who have... see ya!

Backpacking in Europe

I know that when you see the prices of Europe in a travel agency you think that you are never going to be able to make that dream trip, but, guess what? YOU ARE WRONG! I made all the research for my son and I would love to share it with all of you.

First of all you need to find cheap hostels and for that is no better way than to became a member of youth hostels http://www.absolutehostels.com/ there you can find the best hostels at the best prices.

For the tickets you have several options, you can buy them on the net at really cheap prices (search google, they appear everyday), you can apply in federal express to move packages in return of a really really low price air ticket, or if you have time and patience, you can wait in the airport for a last minute cancelation and grab the seat for you, remember if you want to know europe no matter where you land on, trains and air tickets are cheap there.

Once in Europe you can move around in an inexpensive way.
Found alternatives for everything, work if you get out of money, they allways need waiters and general stuff, and if you are good with your hands, make some handcrafts, they love that sorts of things :).

I wish you good luck and I personally recommend Palma de Mallorca! the island sleeps by day, and party by night!!! Say HOLA for me!

Mikkel Museum

Anyone visiting the Kadriorg Palace should also consider dropping into the Mikkel Museum, just over the road. Donated by a private collector, Johannes Mikkel, in 1994, the museum’s works now make up one of Tallinn’s most impressive displays of foreign art. Items here include alluring antique Chinese porcelain, Flemish and Dutch paintings and Italian engravings.

Kumu Art Museum

Opened in 2006, the Kumu is the impressive new main building of the Art Museum of Estonia, and it’s naturally a magnet for every visitor interested Estonian culture. The immense, hightech facility serves as both a national gallery, displaying the classics of Estonian art, and a contemporary art museum, showing off the latest trends.

Kristjan Raud House Museum

You can't visit Tallinn without a visit to this magnificent northern Baroque palace, built by Peter the Great for his wife, Catherine I, in the early 18th century. The grandiose palace and surrounding manicured gardens are a humbling example of Tsarist extravagance, but just as important a reason to come is that this is also home to the foreign art collection of the Art Museum of Estonia.

Estonian Theatre and Music Museum

You don't have to have an ear for Bach to appreciate the curiosities on display in the Theatre and Music Museum. They range from the crude birch horns and archaic Estonian stringed instruments to antique harpsichords, violins, organs and pianos. The hand-cranked, 19th century music machines - some with moving figures on top - are particularly fascinating.

Estonian Museum of Applied Art and Design

Housed in the old granary, itself a remarkable Old Town structure, the museum shows off the country’s most impressive works of applied art from the early 1900s to today. Estonia’s artists have developed a tradition of producing fantastic, often dreamlike creations in glass, ceramics, textile, leather, metalwork and jewellery. Temporary exhibitions on the ground floor put the spotlight on newer ideas.

Adamson-Eric Museum

One of the most versatile Estonian artists of the 20th century, Adamson-Eric (1902-1968), worked in a number of disciplines ranging from oil paints to furniture design. His creations, displayed in this medieval-merchant-house-turned-museum, include bright oil paintings, cave paintings on teapots, inventive jewellery and a variety of other items. The originality and power of his work makes it seem fresh, even today.

Walking tour in Tallinn

This 2.5-hour combined bus and walking tour is an excellent way for first-time visitors to get to know Tallinn. Picking up at the passenger port and major hotels, the trip takes visitors through the most interesting sections of the city, past the Kadriorg Park and the Song Festival Grounds to the Pirita district, all the while providing running commentary on Estonian history and contemporary life. The walking portion of the tour covers Old Town, proceeding across Toompea hill, stopping at the Parliament Building, Aleksander Nevsky Cathedral, the Dome Church and the scenic overlook. It then leads to the narrow, winding streets of the Lower Town, finally ending up on Town Hall Square. Interesting historical tidbits about the town’s development make the tour all the more worthwhile. visit http://www.travel2baltics.com for more info.
