I doubt they have anything that can beat a good old Canadian Papa Burger. :drooling:

I doubt it...but I'm sure their brick ovens are reserved for much more delicious treats!

The flattened chicken I ate in Rome baked on the bricks was beyond fantastic. :drooling:

Do they pound it with a mallet or do they stomp out it with their feet? Hehe.

J/k. The Italians know how to eat! :say_yes:

On my way. :victory:

So looks like I'm going to London, England next week. :woot:

My grandfather was going and I asked if I could tag along. We have family there and my sister paid for my ticket! (cause I'm broke :shamefulcry:)

Has anyone been? What should I see for sure?! I'll be there for 10 days (aug 10-20)

I was there while I was in the Navy, but only for about 3 days. Did the usual tourist stuff, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, etc. Maybe peg (aka brad2) would have a better idea.

Where else did you visit while in the navy?

Let's see, , , Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Greece. Even went to Cuba, but only as far as the naval base.

That's a lot of Europe. And an average of 3 days each? Or did the stays vary?

(gomen, I don't know much of how the navy worked...)

That's okay, NOBODY understands how the navy works.

Most places we would be in port for about a week or so. We were over in the Mediterranean for 6 months at a stretch, so we'd be out at sea playin war, doing the military bit for a couple weeks, then pull in someplace for 4 or 5 days, maybe a little longer.

I did 3 six month cruises so by the time the 3rd one rolled around I just wanted to get it over with, I'd pretty much been everywhere there was to go.

Yes, I remember you telling me about the 3 "cruises". Considering the circumstances, what was your favourite stop?
