Amanda Monaco I am a passionate pretty easy going kinda aussie girl. I am dedicated to my love of the environment, my aussie sports, my friends and family and have now decided to travel the world. My close friends and family call me Moo and i am well known for getting "all fired up". Yeah i know i like to go into detail about my travels but i hope you at least like the photos.

I love my life and the challenges it throws at me. I also love quotes such as "Life isn't about finding yourself, it's about creating yourself"...

26th June Monday AUSTRALIA Vs ITALY I slept in this morning and headed straight into town to grab some last minute things like postcards and gifts. I couldn’t find anything that I wanted and was pissed off. It was still a while till the match and people were everywhere. We went to the train station for our free transfer to pick up our actual tickets and waited in line. I was getting so excited!!! Once I got my ticket with my name on it I kissed it, and cheered. I then headed back to camp and got ready super quick. Clackers [View Full Entry]

20th June Tuesday So we left Frankfurt today, arriving in Stuttgart. Again walking to the campsite was another sweat-a-thon. We tried to sneak me and Zedz in and it worked for about ½ an hour, till they came round looking for our armbands! We then tried to only pay for 2 nights (as Clackers had paid for 3) but then they gave us different coloured bands, damn! I see that they have had many scammers like us at their campsite, smarty pants. So after Zedz and I filled out our rego form (where I became Zedz spouse; Mrs Zedz to you!!!) [View Full Entry]

15th June Thursday The boys gave me their numbers and left for Munich on the train. I wasn’t sure what was the cheapest way to get there so I waited for Rowdy and Simon to investigate our options. The man that worked at FanCamp insisted I get a photo with him (!!!) and we headed to the trains. It ended up that train was actually our only option so we got a 5 day pass and we were on our way. When we arrived we met up with some of Rowdy’s mates and found some accommodation at 4You. It was complete [View Full Entry]

10th June Saturday. I wake up on the plane in Munich to see an absolutely beautiful sunrise. I was a little confused as to how to get to Kaiserslautern (will now be known as K-Town) and as it was so early in the morning and everything was closed I slept on a bench with my pack to cuddle. My ticket ended up costing me 79 Euros (bloody expensive) but the train was very comfortable and the scenery was very beautiful and green. The houses are very different to what I have seen on my travels so far, cute little white things [View Full Entry]

Selçuk to Istanbul Amanda Monaco 8th June I had my last Turkish breakfast, finished packing and even sent some stuff home. I treated myself to one last 1L kebab and hung out at the carpet shop with everyone like normal. Mehmet saw me off at the bus stop and we told the bus driver where I would be getting off to save me going all the way back to Istanbul. On the bus I dreamt that when I got off the bus an elephant took me to the airport. 9th June After the ferry crossing I was waiting for the [View Full Entry]

17th May Arriving in Eğirdir early in the morning I slept in my dorm till just before breakfast and spent the day walking around the tiny picturesque town. As normal it seemed as though there were only men in the town and the women were all in hiding, drawing attention to me. I even had a sleep on my daypack in a park next to the lake I was so relaxed. The lake is completely beautiful, surrounded by rocky and tree covered mountains. When the sun shines the water is a beautiful turquoise blue and I love that even though there [View Full Entry]

14th May HAPPY MOTHERS DAD MUM. Michael woke me at about 8:30 as he had to leave for his day tour, and I want to say that I really hate the morning thing. I gave him my email last night in drunkenness at the bar and he told me that we would catch up in Germany around the world cup but for the first time I felt like I could see straight though a guy and I knew that he was talking shit. As much as I would like to see him again, I am not really happy with myself as [View Full Entry]

10th May After a little sleep in Carolyn, Eve and I head for a walk up one of the mountains for about an hour which had some nice views but we had to turn back as Carolyn and I had a date at 1pm with a kayak. We had a yummy eggplant and salad sandwich for lunch (one of my fondest memories of Olympus; it was that good) and we head out with our guide Ali who is Turkish but lived in Oz for a while so he had a bit of Aussie twang to his English. Carolyn and I shared [View Full Entry]

6 May After an early night in my funny smelling room and looking forward to a nice relaxing breakfast I head to the balcony and am immediately confronted by an annoying voice of a very crazy lady who sounded very rude. I tried to not pay any attention to her and was trying to focus on the fact that I would soon be on my cruise with 4 beautiful days of sunshine. Then I hear her say to two other guys that she will see them on the cruise that leaves today. Aaarrgghh, that’s the same one as me. ‘You’ve got [View Full Entry]

One of them anyway, on the way to Bodrum
30 April I got up pretty early and left at 7:25. I caught the tram to Aksaray Square and walked for 10-15mins to get to where the ferries leave from. Once there I enquired about getting a ticket to Bandirma and found out the next one was at 5:30, not 9:00 as the staff at the hostel had told me. Well stuff waiting around all day, and I then decided to head to the Otogar (bus station) and see where I could go instead. I asked the bus drivers how to get to the otogar but no one spoke English, and [View Full Entry]
