Hi everyone! Welcome back to The Late Night Lockdown Podcast!
In this episode we review our recent “Tapas” style European Trip and adventures back in February of this year with our travel friends, Ali and Wyatt. It was a trip of a lifetime and an absolute dream come true! We are forever beyond grateful
for this trip and these are our memories and recommendations for future travelers out there who might be curious themselves! We can’t wait to go back to our favorite spots again!
Our 2 week trip itinerary was:
LA> Paris, France > London, England > Amsterdam, Netherlands > Rome, Italy > Cairo, Egypt > Dublin, Ireland > back to LA.
The trip was FULL of great memories and experiences for a lifetime! In this conversation we cover our favorite areas (and some not so favorite areas) and experiences throughout the journey, including:
* Café de Floré in Paris
* Moulin Rouge
* Princess Diana memorial
* The Eiffel Tower (a MUST!)
* Le Marais
Amsterdam:
- [ ] The Anne Frank House museum
- [ ] INK Hotel
- [ ] Cannabis bars
- [ ] Amstel Beer
Cairo, Egypt:
•The ACTUAL Great Pyramid of Giza experience!! 4500 years old and we climbed INSIDE of it!
MIND-BLOWING experience!!! (Matt’s rightfully bittersweet and will explain why in the middle of this episode! lol)
•The Egyptian Museum
•Thank you to our tour guide Mona and our driver for an amazing 5-star experience!
•And to the Marriott Mena House Hotel in Cairo, literally right next to the Pyramids. You can see them from your hotel balconies!
The culture shocks and poverty issues we saw there are unacceptable anywhere in the world today though and you are forced to see a different perspective by the disparity, especially in the 21st Century. While Rome had literal FREE water fountains everywhere in public and one with the choice of bubbly or still water choices right in front of the ancient Coliseum! Wild!
Each country was breath taking and mind-blowing in its own rights and had its pros and cons.
But what a gift it was to see a huge part of that world in 14 days!!
On the second half of this episode is the Entertainment segment: we discuss Oscars night review and our winning predictions!
Amiee’s teen crush is still for Brendan Fraser . I mean,
George of the Jungle to The Whale - Com’on! That is some amazing acting and the best character arches of all!
We also discuss the question: are Marvel Films and the Maverick type of films really Oscar worthy films or just big blockbuster summer fun ones to enjoy at the box offices?
Thank you for listening and joining in our conversations with this weeks episode!
“Let’s Talk About It!”
