How cool is it?!!!
Hellloooo to everyone, Well it’s really quite hard to believe that my last entry was way back at New Year - my how time flies when you having fun!! 3 months later, finished up at Blackrock & 2 days until I fly over to London to start my training trip. Not prepared as well as I should be! Mixed emotions, nerves, excitement & butterflies!! Basically the last few months I haven’t done much at all apart from head down at studying & preparing for this year. It has been a hell of a lot of work, probably under estimated how much [View Full Entry]

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! Hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year. We had a nice xmas with my family here and had some friends over from London for Hogmanay Festival here in Edinburgh for NYE. Probably the most sober NYE I have had in many years!! Yes - believe it!! The rain, snow & wind held off enough for Hogmanay to go ahead which was good. It had to be done but not something I would do every year. We had a nice Mexican dinner, headed through the festival and watched the fireworks ( which were slightly disappointing, no [View Full Entry]

Well it's been a while since my last update. just back from spending 4 days in Prague. It is a truly beautiful city and I could easily spend some more time there. So many little streets to get lost on and so many bars and cafes to test! It was nice not to do a tour and to have 4 days in a 4 star hotel & we even had our own private mercedes, the most luxurious of our time away. Prague is quite cheap compared to everywhere else we have been so we did alot of drinkng and eating and [View Full Entry]

I,m feeling really well and it actually feels like home here, must have well and truly settled now - just minus all my family and friends %-/ So what has happened since then?

Sadly today we head back to London. We stop off in Brugge for lunch and some chocolate (promised work I would bring some back)! Pretty town, wish we had longer to wonder round. Then its back on the ferry, her we say goodbye to the legendary L.J and Foggy who have been awesome crew the whole trip, sad to do hugs and say goodbye. We arrive in Dover in style where it’s absolutely bucketing down with rain and the bus trip back to the hostel is the quietest we have been in 24 days %-( We get off the bus [View Full Entry]

Slovenia

 Europe » Slovenia
It's a quick drive through Slovenia, we also happen to drive through Bosnia for all of 2 minutes, he he, but we do stop in Slovenia and stop at one of the largest cave systems in Europe - the Postojna Caves. 27kms of undeground galleries and chambers which we travel through and to by electric train, it was absolutley freezing. It also poured down with rain outside as we were coming in and we got saturated!! [View Full Entry]

Germany

CUCKOOS, BEERSTEINS & CASTLE We arrive in St.Goar in the Rhine Valley late afternoon. We see a cuckoo clock demonstration and wonder around town for a while. A little disappointing we didn’t get to spend more time in Germany, lucky I,m heading to Munich for Oktoberfest! Then we head to our accommodation for the night, a really cool castle. The views from up here are fantastic; it’s a very relaxing area. We took it easy, wondered around the grounds and just hung out for the night. Saving all of our energy for our final destination tomorrow - AMSTERDAM or as we [View Full Entry]

Amsterdam (The Damage)

 Europe
THE DAMAGE Another one of my favourite places!! So different. Here in the Netherlands we stopped at a clog and cheese making factory. The guy here that runs the place is hilarious. The cheese is absolutely beautiful and he makes hundreds of different types of clogs, as comfortable as he makes them sound I refrain from purchasing any. Then we make our way into Amsterdam and check into our hostel. Earlier on in the bus everyone is asked if they would like to attend a sex show in the red light district, something they normally take passengers to but not something [View Full Entry]
