all things cbl

Here are a couple of random observations that I gathered throughout Europe.

• Rome seems to be cheaper to do stuff in, although the first two weeks of September in Rome are the busiest travel season
• Indians (those from India) seem to be the “Mexicans” of London
• You have to pay extra for Ketchup at your favorite fast food restaurant
• “Fry-sauce” in Amsterdam is really just Mayo
• NO free refills. Oh and soft drink sizes are smaller than in the US
• Make sure when asking for bottled water to get “no-gas” version if you like your water without carbonation
• Oyster cards in London are awesome.
• Make sure and get to the Catacombs in Paris early during high season if you want to avoid 30-45 minute line
• Eat as much Gelato as you can while in Italy. So many good flavors, so little time.
