well well well well. i shall start by stating the obvious. slovenia is absolutely incredible. i am totally, utterly in love with this place, and i do not want to leave. before coming i had it in my head that this would be the highlight of the month, and by gum was i right. the train journey here was pretty uneventful, with some burnt rubber delaying us for 20minutes, gaz breaking a window and a big corridor being the general highlights. the train journey itself was another breathtaking one, just aesthetically perfect in every way. and then we enter slovenia, and [View Full Entry]

hello there. ok, first things first i suppose. today is bethans birthday, and she would have been 11 years old. its a well documented thing and i wont dwell on it, but suffice to say my thoughts have generally only been about that little bugger, but thats no different to any other day. so yes, despite me being fully aware that you never used the internet and that heaven still only has dial up, i love you, you little bugger you. so yes, an emotional day. gareth, danny and minor went to berchtesgaden today, and im sure they had a quality [View Full Entry]

awww, what a bloody brilliant evening i had. from the top! got back to the ol' hostel last evening after my net time, and decided that because i hadnt eaten much fruit on this trip, i could really do with getting some. so off i went again, on my todd, to get some fruit of some sort. i had remembered some markets that i had passed earlier, so decided to venture back towards them. as soon as i stepped outside though, a strange feeling was in the air. you know, that feeling of 'hmm, its warm out here, but decidedly overcast.

first off, apologies to sam. for some reason i tend to say el scorcho quite alot at the moment, probably because im not great with the heat so must deal with it in a latino accent. see, that makes sense to me. oh, and if my grammar/spelling is rubbish here, its because this keyboard is mad. anyway, im in munich, or munchen, as the germans hilariously call it. its a pretty damn cool little place id say, like everywhere else. we checked into our hostel after a 6 hour train from prague this morning (by the way, i had grilled chicken [View Full Entry]

hello hello hello hello. i'll start from last night. for the 3rd night in a row, we decided to have tea at sioux's steak place in krakow, because its super cheap and good. i had grilled chicken again, because its ace and cheap and i cant be bothered to waste money on something i might not like. it was good though, and we had a nice time, as usual. then we moved onto another place for a drink and a relaxing chat before going on to the station for the night train to prague. once we were here however, it proceeded [View Full Entry]

didnt get to do one of these tomorrow, as it was a very long day. we left the hostel in the morning at about 10.30am, and me and gareth didnt get back here until 9.30pm, and if we knew of other trains, it would have been later. if i went back 2 days i would have got an earlier train yesterday as well. because in all honesty, the 7 hours we were there was nowhere near enough to take well, anything in at all. yesterday we went to auschwitz. ok, i was going to write a big blog about that, but [View Full Entry]

jesus christ, what an entertaining 2 days. seriously, insanity in a can. once you cross to eastern europe, it all goes a bit mad, and everything is possible. but first, yesterday. we had a day in the centre of berlin yesterday, which was pretty fantastic. saw lots of berlin wall bits and pieces, incredibly fascinating stuff. there was a memorial that was pretty much made entirely by one guy, who had been imprisoned by the stasi for 10years for some petty crime. it was a memorial to people who had died whilst trying to escape eastern germany over the wall. i [View Full Entry]

just a quick one this morning, as today is probably going to be another hilariously long one with little sleep. am feeling a little weary already, so it doesnt bode well! we check out of this fabulous hostel in about an hour, just giving my towel a bit of a drying out so that it doesnt stink my bag out again. i used the girls showers this morning, as there are no girls on our floor, i figured that i cant be bothered to wait forever for the male showers to be free, so i'll have the girls ones to myself.

a loooooong arse day. it started scary, and then it got all responsible, and then it ended in pure violence. or at least it would have, if i had found that polar bear. but before all that, lets go back to last night. we did some washing! get in! my towel no longer stinks! my t-shirts are fresh! my jeans are fresh! my socks are clean! score! the wash went ok, but then drying took forever, like a long arse time, so me, morris and garfunkel decided to celebrate by popping over the road to the handily placed irish bar. undoubtadly [View Full Entry]

ok, advice first and foremost. if you are ever going to get a night train, make sure you reserve a seat. and, more importantly, make sure you reserve a bed. we didnt do either of these, and instead found ourselves walking up and down the train for an hour just trying to find somewhere to sit. eventually found somewhere, and sat. it's pretty damn hard to sleep in those chairs i tell you. so we spent 8hours in a carriage on a train, just sitting and trying to sleep. i managed to get a couple of hours, but this was only [View Full Entry]
