Europe by the Numbers

Starting the hike in Riogamario, Italy

Jenny hanging out in Pisa, Italy

How amazing is this- Cinque Terra, on our hike

Our trip by the numbers:

1 euro for an amazing expresso in Lucca, Itlay
2 euros for an amazing box of chocolates in Brugges, Belgium
3 friends we visited in the UK (Steph and Stephen, Emily and Sarah - ok so it's 4!)
4 euros- the best we spent on our trip when we discovered there were lockers in the Brugges train station ad didn't have to lug our packs all day
5 towns we hiked in Cinque Terra, Italy
6 times we collectively ate gelato in Italy
7 museums we visited in Paris in 2 days (Louvre, Musee D'Orsay, Jewish Museum, Pantheon, Notre Dame crypt, Pompedium and Arc de Triumphe)
8 other people who slept in our dorm room in Brussels
9 euros we spent for brad, cheese and wine where we dined on the famous Pont Neuf Brige in Paris
10 bars in Edinburgh that Jenny showed Evan where she enjoyed partying in during her more wild days
13 nights of free accomodation: 4 in London with Steph and Stephen; 3 in Edinburgh with Sarah; 5 in Italy at Sara and Andrea's apartment in Viareggio, Italy and one in the Luton Airport
14 hours we spent in the Luton Airport because we refused to get a hotel, way too expensive
15 kilometers we rode our bikes in Amsterdam and the Dutch countryside
17 train rides (including transfers) we took in Italy
18 days we saw rain on our trip (big bummer)
21 glorious days in Europe
40 pounds we spent on glorious High Tea at the swanky Soho Hotel, London
65 euro supplement we had to pay on the Brussels-Amsterdam train for not traveling with infants (whoops, Evan bought the ticket in French)
70 euros for our best meal, eating Italian style at long tables with locals in Florence and having endless plates of food
90 minutes before Jenny got antsy in the Louvre
1,000 more places we want to see and experience in the world....
