Rebellion Fest - Day 3 Day started off as it did when I arrived here. After going to the internet cafe it poured down chronically. I got completely soaked. Arrived at the Rebellion Fest completely drenched. I had to basically stay there the entire day with soaking shoes and socks. Not the most pleasent feeling I tell you. Met up with Jane and Gareth after laughing at a guy who had a t-shirt that had BAW SACK in large letters. This amused me greatly as a common insult for people in Scotland is Baw Sack. Gareth says it like every day. haha. In NZ we would say Ball Sack, but yeah. Anywho. Bands were rather shit for the majority of the day until a ska band called Spunge came on. They were cool. Played "The Land ... read more

Horse Riding What a terrifying experience. Fortunately I only went for an hour. I now have massive respect for anyone who rides horses. I was the tallest person and heaviest person (although that last parts debatable as there was this girl ther who was fucking obese. I felt bad for the horse) so i got the biggest horse. As I went to climb on to the horse, it tried to fucking bite me. We then get shown around for about 5 minutes, which really didn't cover anything what so ever. Then the send you out. My horse was panting angrily when we started out. There are two people with us, one at the front of the group (group had about 15 people) and one at the back. I'm smack in the middle. Bastards. The entire time ... read more

So here I am at the shitty internet cafe across the road from where we're staying again, attempting to write update my adventures on this prehistoric piece of shit. Glen Ord Distillery Before we went to Loch Ness we went to a Whiskey Distillery called Glen Ord. It was a lot more informative then Talisker (the distillery I previously went to) and I got a better understanding of how everything is brewed. Tried a few whiskeys there, starting to understand the different tastes and starting to appreciate it all a little more. Loch Ness If it wasn't for the sightings of Nessie and all the tourist attractions created because of this, all Loch Ness would be is a massive fucking lake. Seriously, there's nothing all that exciting about it. If you're thinking of going for a ... read more

Jorvic Viking Expedition We caught the bus in and headed to the Jorvic Viking Expedition. Vikings had ruled York from 866 AD to 954 AD . The English briefly took control from 927 AD to 939 AD, but the last Viking King, Eric Bloodaxe was expelled in 954 AD and the town became a part of the new kingdom of England. Eric Bloodaxe, what a sweet name. Maybe I should change my name to Geoff Murder Bow or something.. The Viking Expedition cost £7 ($18). I actually got in for cheaper because the guy realised I was young and I was with Christoph. Probably thought that I was a single parent or something haha. Dom didn't want to spend the money so he went off and did a few things in town. Whilst there was some ... read more

"We're not balling We take it back to the days of yes y'all-in' We holding onto what's golden On a stage I rage and I'm rollin" - Jurassic 5 - What's Golden - I've been listening to heaps of Jurassic 5 since I've been here. No-one has got me into it or anything, I just got that song 'Freedom' stuck in my head and now I'm forever on You-Tube/Myspace listening to them. Might buy me a CD. Wallington Manor Yesterday Mark took us out to Wallington Manor, which is about an hour north of where I'm staying. It's pretty close to the Scottish boarder. Mark went the Scenic route so I could see all the different towns. Up where we were there's a lot of country side. Every paddock is seperated by a hedge and there's ... read more
