Well yes, I believe it is official, I have jinxed the weather! After going on and on about how good the weather has been, the forecast is now for snow Sunday night and contiuing through to Wednesday.. Which is great, dont get me wrong, but I have to catch a train and travel to Oxford on Monday and snow could make the journey rather difficult.. Gotta get my suitcase (yes suitcase, shaddup Cal) to the trainstation which is only about 200metres from my current hotel but it still wont be easy to do in snow.. Looking forward to leaving London and doing abit of travelling though purely because I want to prove to myself that I can do, I can catch a train and find the right station and then find my hotel/hostel without a problem.. ... read more

I had the perfect title for todays enter but I went through and answered all my emails before coming to this page and now I cant remember! bugger! I swear my memory's gone to shit.. Too much alcohol workin in a pub, killed a few too many braincells hehe.. Well Chicago last night was brilliant! The theatre wasnt as fancy as that which housed the Lion King but the performance was great! This is an expensive new hobby I've found haha.. Wont go and see any more shows till I come back to London now after visiting the rest of the UK (emma you gotta let me know what you're interested in seeing so i dont see it!).. Am thinking will definately have to go see Les Miserables, We will rock you and the Sound of ... read more

Thats right, I think Im in love... with the theatre! and the West End! haha what did you think I was gonna say?! Last night I saw the Lion King in Covent Garden and loved IT More than I was expecting to to tell you the truth but it was FANTASTIC! Going again tonight to see Chicago.. I came to London desperately wanting to see a West End show but never expecting to love it as much as I did! Wish i'd gone to a few musicals that had come to Perth now, oh well, will definately start going! Can someone, anyone please tell me what 300 is?? its a new movie, I know that much but it disrupted my exploration to leichester sqaure earlier today.. Because the red carpet was out.. its a movie premier! ... read more

Dont convert! Never convert! just dont do! Never convert! money that is haha.. The main thing that I have learnt after being here for 3 days in never convert things from pounds back into Australian dollars.. Because its just way too depressing.. So that is my advice to future travellers.. DONT CONVERT! Unless you come from a country with a much stronger exchange rate! haha.. Also dont pack too much! haha.. You can take a suitcase (shaddup Cal) just make sure you are able to lift it.. Cos taking it on and off trains with hundreds of other people wanting to get on and off is not fun.. I havent even done it yet.. Im just imagining.. And its not a fun fantasy haha.. Word of warning to anyone planning to travel over here..the tube stations ... read more

Well here I am.. the end of day 2 of excitement and what a 2 days its been! Yesterday went out to Piccadily Circus and went for a wander around before my lovely tour guide Moosh decided to wake up and come show me around haha, managed to get us very lost.. its a worry when the local is asking to borrow your map haha.. but we stumbled around and managed to see Hyde Park, Covent Gardens and something else which for the life of me I cant think of right now.. Just wanna say a major thanks to good ole Moosh tho for coming to pick me up from the airport on Sunday night, that was much appreciated.. Today I went on my little lonesome down to London Bridge where I went to London dungeon, ... read more

Well its a miracle, its my first day in London, I've caught the tube and have not managed to get Lost yet! Miracle I tell ya! My hotels in a pretty good location, right around the corner from a tube station in Earls Court, plenty of places to eat, not much else to do that I have found yet but have only been here about 15hours hehe.. Jet lags not too bad, woke up several times during the night thinking it was much later than it actually was but you get that.. Im actually 9hours behind as well, not the 7 I thought I was going to be so if you're msging me and not getting responses straight away thats why but please keep the msgs coming! I now officially hate flying! so glad I dont ... read more

Asia » Singapore » Changi March 11th 2007

Well here I am at Singapore airport just waiting now to catch a 14hour flight to London.. Cant Wait! haha.. My flight to Singapore was one of the best I've been on, I had a window seat and absolutley no one sitting next to me! it was great! managed to check my luggage in without a problem despite the weight but had a twat at Immigration tell me my hand luggage was too heavy.. Went and bought another bag cos apparently you can take as many bags as you wont as long as their not over 7kgs.. Go figure, surely a heavy bag takes up less room than 50 bags but anyway... As soon as I got through Immigration I repacked it all back into my original hand luggage and not a problem.. Been a bitch ... read more

Oceania » Australia » Western Australia » Perth March 9th 2007

Well the title says it all really.. This time tomorrow I would have just taken off from Perth airport, no turning back down.. Have spent the whole day packing, wow that was a nightmare, have probably taken way too much but as long as I can lift my bags I say thats good enough hehe.. Getting slightly anxious as well, been reading some travel books and one of them actually says that a hostel Im staying at is out of the way but for the prices you pay in london I guess thats what you get for affordable accomodation! (dont worry Emma, it also says the citys easily accessible, I'll have it all figured out by the time you get there).. As a parting word before my adventure really starts, I'd just like to say that ... read more
