Ok, seeing how I'm not on holidays any more I figure I can post whatever the hell I want to.
I'm not sure if I'm late for this bandwagon, but I'm really enjoying Flight of the Conchords lately. We don't get the show in Australia, but a friend sent me a youtube link to one of their songs and now I have to see the rest of the show. And thanks to the wonders of the internet, I can! The first season is great so far (only 3 episodes in), but I already have found out that there is at least 2 things I like about New Zealand. Great snowboarding would be the first, Flight of the Conchords is the second.
Ok, I've finally got a gallery up, its not as functional as I would've liked, but you'll be using, not me. I'm still in the process of uploading Amsterdam and Rome, but enjoy what I have put up. Click here to see the photos
All links to photos from my holiday are coming down while I process a collection of them (i.e shrink them to something viewable) and then I'll throw them back up again.
Last post until I get home. Sorry about the lack of photos since I left Paris, its just too hard to find an internet place that will let me connect my camera. There will be over 900 for me to sort through when I get home, so there will be a 'collection' shortly after I get back.
Rome is great, there is old stuff everywhere :P Lots of walking and streets that don't make sense means more walking. It is a lot more expensive than Berlin thats for sure.
Howdy all.
Berlin is pretty different from the other cities I've visited so far. Best of all everything is cheap (relatively) with a pint of beer costing between €1.80 and €3 - very good value. The fact that all of the beer is great just happens to be a bonus.
There's 3 Americans staying in my room so I've spent most of my time with them, its been great having other people to talk to/get up to mischief with.
I leave for Amsterdam on Sunday and will be there for 5 days and will try and get some new photos up there.
PS: There is sun in Berlin - Hurrah!!
Originally I had planned to stay in Amsterdam for 8 nights but unfortunately the first 4 nights were double booked. Looking to avoid sleeping on the streets I paid a visit to STA travel. Here's what my next two weeks look like:
- On May1 I fly to Berlin (Germany for those of you playing at home) for 3 nights.
- Catch a train to Amsterdam for 4 nights.
- Fly to Dubrovnik (Croatia) and stay in a hotel for 3 nights
- Do some island hopping in the Adriatic Sea for ~5 days. It will be summer here on May 1, so fingers crossed for some great weather.
- Catch a ferry from Split (Also in Croatia) to Ancona (full points if you can guess the country).
- Then I will have about 1 week to travel through Italy (just gave away the answer for Ancona) until I fly out of Rome on May 19.
Hi to anyone who checks this. Turns out I can plug my camera into the computers at the Apple store in London so I can show you some pics.
Greetings from Regent St, London. Getting my photos from Paris up here is proving a bit harder than I first thought. The internet at the hostel here is pretty expensive and throwing up photos takes a bit of time. I'm standing in the Apple store in Regent St typing this to save a few £.
Ok, here's some links to photos I took while in Zurich. Its easier to do links than actually put the photos in. When I get to London I'll upload the photos from Paris.
Welcome to Zurich, we've got castles in the centre of town
We have beautiful old buildings on the river
More old buildings, plus courtyard/parking!
We have a lovely riverside walkway complete with trees budding new leaves (which are extremely green)
Here's the Publicis and optimedia offices. complete with brand new Ferrari
I can't work out if the Ferrari owner works here or not, its hard to tell in this town (some very rich people)
View over the river from a church I cannot remember the name of at the moment
Same place, different angle. This was taken at 6:30pm
It doesn't get dark here until about 8:30pm
I went for a wander through the inner suburbs and came across this burly fellow
Lake Zurich complete with mountains and snow
Yours truly, next to said lake
The Zurich marathon just happened to be on while I was there. Running through the streets would have been quite fun, if not cold
Ok thats it for photos for now. I might through up some more of Zurich when I do Paris.
Au revoir
The photos arent uploading. I'll solve this is Paris
After 8 hours on a plane and then 4 hours sitting in Changi Airport (Singapore) i feel that I may have lost some of my dashing good looks. Imagine what I looked like when I landed at Zürich.
This place is fucking huge! I've been told I should have a swim ni the pool here, no one told me that it would be at the other end of the complex which is a good 30 minute walk. Needless to say it shits all over the Brisbane International airport which you can walk in 10 mins if you are slow...and have a broken ankle.
I'm going for a swim before I do my next 13 hour leg. Speak to you in Zurch
So I figure the easiest way to show off any photos / have a rant while I'm away would be a blog. I told myself I wouldn't do this, but here I am setting this thing up the morning I leave.
