In case you were wondering if there is anything I won't do, today proved that. When we arrived in Lauterbrunnen before we even got off the bus, we were mooned by the Contiki group who were already there. So as some weird sort of Contiki initiation, it was decided that when the next bus arrived in today, that WE should moon THEM. Surprisingly, there were many takers (I blame those perpetutal mooners, Keith & Jarron, who will drop trou at any opportunity!) but alas I had to refuse.
After all, due to Dare 5, my arse is already on most people's cameras. Do we really need to see my pasty white ass again? I'm gonna go with NO!! That said, the looks on those bus passengers faces was pretty priceless!

I'M DOWN WITH THAT: Things I Love About Austria* Parasailing is the most fun EVER - it cost a ridiculous amount of money to do, but it was fantastic! Not at all scary, even though you basically jump of a cliff! And so much fun when you get to do the "acrobatics", which is basically plummet to the ground at speed doing spins etc
* Mountainbiking through the Austrian Tirol - coming down a mountain is always MUCH easier than going up! However, no pain no gain, and the view from the top was totally worth it. (even if my butt did hurt for the rest of the day!)
* Classical music - this trip wasn't ALL about boozing, we got in some culture too! Namely a chamber orchestra playing Mozart and Strauss, two of Vienna's favourite sons.
WHAT'S WITH THAT: Things I Loathe About Austria* Weather - now, I can't really complain as we have had great weather for pretty much most of the trip. But we got some serious rain these past few days, which put much of our outdoor activities in jeopardy.

Its a big call, but I am going to make it .... Italy is my favourite country visited so far. I love it here, and I know I will need another visit to see everything I have missed.
FLORENCE:
* Michaelangelo's David (which unfortunately coined the term "Show Us Your David" in response to the boys continually asking the girls to "Show Us Your Puppies". Ahhh, such a classy trip!)
* Santa Croce
* Duomo
* Ponte Vecchio
ROME:
* Vatican City
* Trevi Fountain
* The Colosseum
* The Pantheon
VENICE:
* Gondola Boat rides
* St Mark's Basilica

* Simbarere - Antonio Carlos Jocafi
* Senorita - Justin Timberlake
I'M DOWN WITH THAT: Things I Love About Spain* Flamenco - this was such a fun night! Group dancing, yelling out "ole!" at random moments, drinking sangria. If only every night was this much fun!
* Sangria - especially good when they serve it in litre glasses for you to guzzle down.
* Street performers on La Ramblas - this takes busking to a whole new level. There are outfits, props, music and a scary amount of body contortions!
WHAT'S WITH THAT: Things I Loathe About Spain* Street hustlers - watch your bag at all times, or look out!
THINGS I'VE LEARNT:* What "streetside entrepreneur" means - go on, use it with all your friends! So much classier than the bog-standard "ho". And you know why? Because in Spain, these ladies pack their own plastic outdoor chair for those quiet times on the street corners!
* Sangria stains your clothes - call it a memento of a fun time in Barcelona!
