Photos
If anyone is still reading this – I have begun trawling through the multitude of photos from the trip, ahhh … 1500 for 6 weeks isn’t too bad. Anyways, this website isn’t really made for photos, so I’ve put them in my usual photo gallery, easy to find once you get there, under, wait for it … European Vacation … of yeah, it hurts when I think up names! I was up til 2am … and only managed to get… Continue reading
Singapore Thing…oh and its official, I hate Zoos.
I am thinking this could be my last update before arriving back in Australia?? Maybe one in the Airport tomorrow evening…how knows. Well the past two days have been interesting ones. Travelling by yourself allows you far more freedom although so far I have found it only 1/4th as fun as the past 3 weeks were, 1/11th as the 3 weeks before that. Yesterday I managed to sleep into, cough, 12pm so I figured most of the morning was given… Continue reading
Three little indians sitting on a tree, two fell of and then there was me.
Well I am now travelling alone through a country I have no idea about; thank god they speak english!! I arrived in Singapore, said my farewells to Maia and Leigh, brief though they were. Checked out of customs and picked up my baggage. On that note I have to say Singapore has so far been the best Airport I have travelled in, although I am a bit confused about the supposed security. I really have to say so far Australia… Continue reading
La touche finale
After the previous days power bus tour, we decided to do it again earlier so we could see the sites. First stop, Musee D’Orsay, museum with many famous artworks from ye olde artistes such as Moset, Van Gogh, Renoir, Cezanne, list goes on. Some cool stuff, some crap stuff, spent about 3 hours checking it out before we got bored and hungry, so we wandered to find lunch and dessert. Next stop, had a brief look at the famous Opera… Continue reading
Grand old Paris
Before arriving in Paris we booked (well I really should say Stef and Leigh booked) a hotel room in the Latin quarter right next to the Bastile monument. Pretty simple hotel but close and easy. We arrived in Paris in the evening so it was straight to dinner for us all. It was Stefs last night in Paris so we decided to eat in style, so we ate at the oldest resturaunt in Paris called Bofingers. Fairly nice dinner although… Continue reading
French girls don’t wear bras …
Well, we’ve been slackers, OK, we’ve just done so much we haven’t had time to update the site. So I’ll see what I can do to get you up to speed. Once upon a time we were in Milan. Then we travelled to Aix en Provence in Francem quite south in France. It was a very pretty train trip travelling through the mountains between France and Italy, would make a nice quiet getaway around there, with waterfalls coming off the… Continue reading
France in a Nutshell.
Damn this is going to be a hard update, a lot has happend since Aix En Provance which leigh is going to write about, probably has written about it already. So what this post is going to be about is how the group split off for a couple of days and what Stef and I did in Avignon, Lyon and what we all did when we reconverged back in Dijon. There, nice little summary, now its time for the detail…….. Continue reading
Football (no its not called soccer) is addictive
The morning of the next day in Milan was spent organising tickets and what not for our train to Aix de Provance in the south of France. After some bullish negotiation by me and some polite recovery by leigh we manged to organise everything. Next we went to the Duomo to go inside the church, we figured out that everything was closed on the Monday so thats why we couldn’t actually go inside when we were there the day before….

Greece to Italy – Dont sleep on a ferry deck
Place we stayed at in Santorini called San Georgios, highly recommended, very helpful guys Dina and George. Boat trip around Santorini was soo cool. To get to the ship, we had to climb down 3 times as many steps as heaven – thats a lot of steps. Donkeys could have taken us up or down the steps around the islands, but we’re hardcore. Everything we did on Santorini just ended in fantastic views. First island stop was the volcano, still active,… Continue reading
Mykanos, Ferry sleep (or lack there of), Milan
Leigh left you at San Torini before we left to go on the cruise. We climbed the Volcano of which created the San Torini, in thongs mind you…supposedly we were supposed to bring closed shoes but were never told. Swam in hot sulphur springs that smelt suspiciously like Rust. In a previous post I mentioned that I had a hot sulphur spring sauna/mudbath in Pammukale, This did not smell like rotten egg, It smelt and looked like rust. I am not… Continue reading
