This will be my first backpacking trip to Europe with six of my friends, and this trip was planned to be more educational rather than the usual i come, i see, i take picture, i go type from tour agencies.
There will be more museums to visit, to enter, and to explore in. There’ll also be palaces, opera houses, and sleeping on the train and 4-bed and 8-bed room in hostels.
We’ll be covering five countries this time: Germany, Austria, Italy, Swiss, and France.
The full itinerary are:
May 01: Munich – Salzburg – Vienna
May 02: Vienna – Venice
May 03: Venice – Rome
May 04: Rome
May 05: Rome – Florence
May 06: Florence – Interlaken
May 07: Interlaken

All the stuff I need have been bought, and the latest packings I have weigh at slightly over 8kg, not that heavy I would say. Girls in my group seems to pack only 6kg in theirs. I always thought girls have more stuff to bring on travels haha… :p
Seven of us will be bringing a grand total of FIVE cameras, no pocket cameras. Out of those five, two are prosumer cameras, and the other three are dSLR (two 450Ds and one D90) with a total of five lenses (18-200mm, 18-55mm, 55-250mm, 18-105mm, and 80-200mm). I will be bringing a total 40GB of SDHC cards, so when we’re back and have consolidated all of our photos together, expect LOTS of photos in my blog.
For now, I’ll be away for holiday for two weeks, so won’t be updating blog. I will still try to tweet whenever I have free Wi-Fi around, so you can check my Twitter (http://twitter.com/hendrikch) to get the latest updates from my travel.
