We made it to Vienna, the bus trip was fine, probably the most comfortable long distance trip we have done. Jess and I completed the whole X-Men Trilogy on DVD (on my I-Pod) and spent a lot of time eating, sleeping, and watching the sights of the towns we passed by. We took a bus from London to Dover, a ferry from Dover (bottom of England) to Calais in France, then up to Brussels in Belgium which was a cool quirky town, then through Germany, onto Vienna - Austria, through Linz. Whilst cruizing through Germany in the night we were randomly [View Full Entry]

St Peters

This is the hometown of my Grandparents and my Mum. We caught the train up to Leeds (approx 3 hours) after a few days in London and were picked up at the train-station by Muriel (Grandma's cousin) and her daughter Karen. We drove about 10 mins to get to Pudsey and it is a great little town. The housing looks very different to back home, with most houses that look the size of one house being split into two to make two houses. So they are pretty small places and took a bit of adjusting too. We met heaps of my [View Full Entry]

London After our killer stopover in Dubai Andrew and I were exhausted. We picked up our bags and managed to navigate the 'tube' arriving in Walthamstow by about 9.30am. I had organised for us to stay with friends Caroline, Jill and Jacqui for a couple of nights and we were to ring them when we arrived, however no ones phones were connected. We decided to try find the house by ourselves and while walking down one of the lanes we ran into Jill!! This is the crazy bit.....Caroline had up and left back to Australia and forgot to let us know [View Full Entry]

Dubai - arrive 5:30am after a 7 hour flight from singapore. We have a connecting flight that is . . . . . 22 hours later. Death. Did i write that already in the last blog? i cant remember. Probably because it was 22 HOURS AGO!! Luckily we got to leave the airport (we actually got a 60 day visa so when supplies are running low we will come back here and stock up on their mega cheap duty free booze amongst other things) and caught a bus to their main city bit. It definately wasn't their upper class rich area [View Full Entry]

I forgot to write that we are sitting next to an unattended bag. So, being alert and not alarmed, I cruised over to the cleaner and let him know. He kindly shrugged his shoulders and said go buy some duty free. We continued to sit next to it so we could get wireless internet and send you all that last email. Hope you appreciate it! We are outta here...................... ps no photos because jess' camera cord is in the checked in luggage. will post later [View Full Entry]

Singapore Asia » Singapore
Greetings. We finally have left Geelong/Yarram and completed our five days in Singapore. We managed to fit in most tourist attractions while there and did our fair share of sweating in the stupid humidity. We went to: DAY 1 - Got in at 5:30am after being in transit for about 12hrs so we took a taxi to Mark and Tracey's house, met Mark, then crashed until about 12pm. Then we went out to Sentosa (an island underneath the mainland of Singapore) which had a kind of theme park mainly aimed at tourists. We went super fast down a massive hill on [View Full Entry]
