European Travel should be on everyone's must do before you die list. If you travel Spain in August down to Valencia, expect to participate in the once a year tomato fight festival. It gets hot, wild and wet participating in one of the countries most memorable event, accessible only by car or train. And for relaxation, why not visit the aquarium and watch the fantastic dolphin show, see what I believe is the biggest and oldest crabs in the world, amongst other exotic sea creatures. And what could top the day but ordering an authentic Spanish meal called "Paella" a traditional chicken and veggie dish by the long white beach or drink "Tinto de Verano" known in English as "Red Wine of Summer" a fabulously refreshing Spanish cocktail.
Travel Italy and make your way to Rome. With its' absolutely enchanting structures like the Coliseum and visualise the huge crowds watching the slaves run and become hunted by large hungry lions. Or visit the beautifully sculpted water fountains which are scattered around the city that depicts erotica, strength and grace. There are many more astounding sites to see like the Vatican. But after a day of site-seeing, settle down for a nice cool Italian beer of Peroni.
Travel France and enjoy the world famous city of Paris. Try the French delicacy of les escargot (snails), Les Cuisses de grenouilles (frogs legs) cuisines and smooth dark rich red wines. Totally recommended for the most adventuress or if you love desserts. Then try the authentic and potently alcohol crapes with French vanilla ice creams and sweet chocolate sauce. Then take a city bus tour to the notorious Notre Dame, The massive Eiffel tower or the Louve where the renowned Mona Lisa painting is held, painted by the famous Leonardo Da Vinci. But for a wild night out why not be entertained at Moulin Rouge for a dinner and show while enjoying a glass of Champagne.
In England travel on the city tour buses to Buckingham Palace or take a relaxing high in the air ride on the world famous London Eye and then enjoy a river cruise down the Thames which apparently years later is now clean and drinkable tap water that runs through the pipes of London city itself. But an English trip is not complete unless you have taken a ride in a Black Taxi Cab or Red Double-Decker Bus.
But if the London City is not your style, then you are able to take day tours out into the country and visit sites like the mythical Stonehenge, the steamy Roman Georgian Bath and during Easter season see Windsor Castle where you can hopefully get a glimpse of the queen who resides there at that time of year.
So while you still can, travel Europe and enjoy the historical life of the old, fascinating and be enthralled. Also travel Germany to a place like Berlin or enjoy the Beer festival that happens once a year within the country. Take a jump in the ice waters of Russia or if you want a warmer climate then think "Greece Travel". Soak up the beautiful sun, visit the Parthenon, learn about Alexander the Great and how the Olympic Games started in the ancient Greek period back in 776BBC.
