I have to say for the first time.. I am actually quite happy to be going home and missing some of the creature comforts.. Not to say I haven't loved traveling... but I think it might be time to get back to reality and start working again sigh..I'm in London in a random internet cafe awaiting the arrival of on http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Surrey/Guildford/blog-299727.html So we are back from our aegean cruise through the Greek islandsTo highlight we went to Mykonos Kos Syros Paros Kalymnos and Bodrum in Turkey. It was a budget cruise put on by the budget airline company easyjet. And it was worth every penny. Booking ahead for two people getting your own room with a bathroom and everything it was about 112 pounds or 224 dollars. That's about 112 dollars http://www.travelblog.org//Middle-East/Turkey/Aegean/Bodrum/blog-293529.html Well So I have made my way from spain through italy and finally on to Athens where I am waiting out until I catch my cruise... tommorrow.. so not so long. Its amazing how hot it is here. Its incredibly incredibly INCREDIBLY hot at a scortching skin burning temperature of about 40 degrees.Funny thing is.. supposedly it's cooler today than it was yesterday.. but you coulda fooled me. We hiked http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Greece/blog-289598.html Sorry I have fallen behind And I am running out of itnernet time as we speakI have been to san sebastian Barcelona Florence and now in Rome.. and tommorrow I will be flying out to athens.. I will write about my adventures soonMylis http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Spain/Basque-Country/San-Sebastian/blog-288399.html MADrid is one of those places that is constantly compaired to Barcelona. Alot of people say that if you love Barcelona you will hate Madrid and vice versa. As most people know I LOVE barcelona.. very much thank you But to be honest I definitely did not hate madrid. I really like it actually. Its generally a pretty relaxed feeling town even with the huge motorways and Grandvia and such. And al http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Spain/District-of-Madrid/Madrid/blog-284503.html Well Oslo is definitely a beautiful city. It is really relaxing rather small and extremely picturesque. The air seems a little bit cleaner up that end of Europe and you feel healthier just walking around with all the extremely fit norwegiansEveryone seems to be glammed up at all moments their outfits relaxed but accessorised perfectly with sunglasses the big bag earings and necklace. I http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Norway/Nord-Norge/blog-283385.html Budapest is an interesting city.It actually is two towns one named pest and one named buda that were on different sides of the Danube river.. and eventually they joined together to make one town... hense.. Budapest. Of the two areas I think Pest is probably the nicer part. It has the central downtown core with all the nice little squares and the nice old buildings and such and is a little liveli http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Hungary/Budapest/Buda/blog-279584.html Well I am a little bit behind so the next few entries are catch ups I left Prague after an awesome time and headed to Vienna.. Funny thing.. at the train station I bumped into two Canadian girls who I have constantly been seeing everywhere and then bumped into another Canadian guy who we also met in Berlin It was nice having people to ride the train with so I wasn't alone talking to myself whic http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Austria/Vienna-State/Vienna/blog-279119.html Well.. Prague isn't exactly the way I expected it to be somehow.. It definitely is beautiful and one of those postcard towns where you can take any photo and it's perfect for a postcard.. the centre of town is completely cobble stoned and has old architecture galore.. It definitely is a pircturesque place.. There is however some downsides.. the Prague locals seem to HATE tourists.. they really don http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Czech-Republic/North/Prague/blog-276469.html Hullo everyone first off sorry if some of my spelling is wrong unfortunately the letters and such on these keyboards are confused and have traded spots somehow hahaSo... GREETINGS FROM BERLIN Berlin turned out to look exactly what I thought it would look like. It's not the cleanest city but somehow still comes across as pretty clean and proper.. Even the way some of the buildings are built m http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Germany/District-of-Berlin/Berlin/blog-274777.html So I have had a bit of time to look around Edinburgh.. and it is definitely a beautiful city.. it's amazing really. So much history and old architecture.. everywhereI got to see two of my awesome mates that I met in Australia this weekend. And it was so great to see them . It was like old times in Melbourne when I first met them. We went out a bit and just wandered around the town and since th http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/United-Kingdom/Scotland/Edinburgh/blog-272821.html Well.. I am back on the roadAt the moment I'm sitting in a small extremely quiet internet cafe. I mean.. it's eerily silent.. kinda strange.. anyway.. I just left London at 7am this morning ... I had to wake up at 6 insanity i tell you. London is the same. I stayed at a hostel that i've stayed at a million times before and it was the same.. the weather was.. well the same. So London really http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/United-Kingdom/Scotland/Edinburgh/blog-271843.html Well... it's been awhile since I've updated this.. reason being I am currently in Vancouver attending Uni and working.. Woo Fun... haha.. But I will be starting another trip in April. This one involves Eastern Europe and some other places like Greece Italy Spain and Portugal. It should be another wicked adventure and I personaly can't wait.. Lots of friends to see and new places to explore http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Greater-London/blog-239129.html Well it's my last full day in Australia and I haven't caught up on my updating yet. I still have to write about my visit to Sydney. It was short and sweet and fun visiting my friend Ben and seeing probably what are the most famous Australian landmarks the Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House. It was slightly surreal seeing them to be honest. You kind of just think wow I've seen that on http://www.travelblog.org//Oceania/Australia/New-South-Wales/Sydney/Opera-House/blog-188712.html I'm back at home now and I hesitate to write about my stop in Hawaii simply because once I do it really means it was the end of this trip And I have to wait out for another few months before I am able to venture out again on another but it must be done My flight to Oahu was relitively painless. Luckily I got sat in a row of seats that had no one else in them so I was able to stretch out my http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Hawaii/Oahu/Waikiki/blog-182580.html Well I am currently in Sydeny but am still catching up on my story telling and I definitely want to catch everyone up on my REEF adventure.. so here goes..The day after my exciting Skydiving experience I woke up bright and early again I had to wake up at 6 30.... to get on my boat to head to the Reef. I went on Compass which was actually the cheapest boat to go with it was only 60 dollars w http://www.travelblog.org//Oceania/Australia/Queensland/Cairns/open-water/blog-177162.html Well I've had a few very eventful days with not much down time in between.. but it has been completely worth it in every way. Not many people can say they've done some of the things I've done recently and I'm lucky to be able to say I have. First off I did what I have wanted to do since the beginning of the trip.. I ate a KANGAROO BURGER hahaha.. Yes I searched out a place that had them and me http://www.travelblog.org//Oceania/Australia/Queensland/Cairns/Cairns-City/blog-176177.html Well the weather here still isn't fantastic. The rain was pouring down not too long ago but I am safe and dry at the hostel so no worries at the moment really Unfortunately The weather was also not so great while I was sailing around the Whitsunday Islands but it seems like it's raining all over the world lately if you ask meAnyway on Sunday afternoon me and 21 other people headed out on a http://www.travelblog.org//Oceania/Australia/Queensland/Whitsundays/blog-173629.html Well I have just returned from my horrible 3 day 2 night safari on Fraser Island... WOOHOO I am so happy to be back on the mainland.. needless to say I am definitely not the camping type of person.. especially under the circumstances which we were camping.Australia is supppooosseeed to be hot.. even during winter Especially queensland which is classified as the Sunshine State on all the liscenc http://www.travelblog.org//Oceania/Australia/Queensland/Fraser-Island/blog-172111.html Well I have just left surfers paradise.. and I must admit I loved it there.. I gotta say it's probably the Barcelona of Australia for me. It wasn't really a town that you go to sightsee.. you go there to have fun go to the beach eat ice cream and relax. It was great When we first arrived.. My two travel partners at the time David and Annie we got picked up by an old funny looking limo.
