                    <title>Birmingham  A Guide to Englands Second City</title>
                    <description>Though I stopped blogging for a while I39ve continued my exploration of England which this week took me to Birmingham sometimes called Englands 39second city39 because it has the largest population outside of London. Known for its industrial history a lot of people I39ve spoken to don39t seem to think Birmingham is really worth visiting. I beg to differ Even in winter there39s </description>

                    <title>Paris Take 2</title>
                    <description>Who'd have thought that only a year after first visiting it I'd be back in Paris Where the first time I did all of the typical touristy things like the Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower I made a point of not repeating myself this time around. Paris is a city that has so much to do it's difficult to make a decision I began my trip by catching up with my lovely french friend Sylvain. Sylvain and I</description>

                    <description>A strange name for a blog you may think but apparently that's what the name Lyon actually means And here I was with lions on the brain shakes head And it was to Lyon France's third largest city that I headed next. Mind you the city doesn't actually feel all that large. Perhaps because of the two rivers la Sane and la Rhn breaking it up. After hiking up quite possibly the tallest mount</description>

                    <title>Nice home to the best hostel in the WORLD</title>
                    <description>I had the best stay in Europe EVER in Nice Though much of that had to do with the fantastic people I met in the most amazing hostel Villa Saint Expury. I highly recommend it Fantastic value for money. Free breakfast internet sheets and towel. Huge kitchen and lounge area and a great bar with the most amazing chocolate brownies. The staff are awesome too. Only 18 euro when I stayed Okay I</description>

                    <title>Dancing on the bridge of Avignon</title>
                    <description>The only reason I went to Avignon was because mum had taught me the song all about it as I was growing up. I can't speak french but I can sing it So I was thrilled to finally get onto the bridge. What I found suprising was that it didn't actually stretch across the whole river It stopped about half way because some of the arches fell down over 100 years ago. The reason the bridge is so famous is</description>

                    <title>AixenProvence</title>
                    <description>When I first walked down the main boulevard of AixenProvence I thought to myself 'Ah so HERE's France'. Sadly apart from that one street Aix wasn't as pretty or quintissentially french as I'd been led to believe. Also because tourist season was over a lot of the things worth visiting were closed. I did get to see the artist Cezanne's studio though I'm not totally mad about his art but it w</description>

                    <title>Marseille</title>
                    <description>Ah Marseille. A city where motorbikes think footpaths are roads and dogs think they're toilets. You seriously wouln't believe the amount of dog poo I've seen traipsed along the streets here. It's a pretty city from on high looking across it but walking around it isn't the most pleasant of experiences. And can you believe as I was walking through a park a totally normal looking guy turned around</description>

                    <title>Bordeaux pity I don't like red wine much</title>
                    <description>I can see why Bordeaux is now an Unesco World Heritage Site. It's stunning Lots of 18th century architecture and a beautiful river to walk along which is particularly nice as the suns's setting. Sadly it was raining buckets the whole time I was in Bordeaux so things looked a bit grey actually kind of reminded me of London. The city is known for its wine but alas I only drank the cheapest plon</description>

                    <description>I went to Lourdes because I wanted to visit the caves and to a day tour to the Pyrenees as mentioned online. However when I arrived these and nearly all other attractions had closed 4 days before I arrived. Apparently 'through November' doesn't actually INCLUDE November. But that's okay because it was interesting eing in a tourist town when there are no tourists. Usually people flock here on a </description>

                    <description>My first day in France wasnt exactly a smooth one. The train I wanted was cancelled and the one which followed terminated one stop before the station where I needed to catch a connecting train. So myself and about 20 others were left stranded in a one taxi town only 5 minutes train ride from where we actually wanted to be. Madness 2.5 hours later me and two boys from Ballarat finally made it to C</description>

                    <title>Girona my last stop in Spain</title>
                    <description>I headed off to Girona on the fervent recommendation of Loriane from Canada who I met in Madrid. Its a fairly small town with a long wall stretching across half of it which you can walk along. You really know that youre in the Catalanian region once you get here because the signs are written in Catalan and the people typically speak it. Spanish phrasebook out the window Despite officially being</description>

                    <description>Barcelona is known for its night life but also for its fabulous Gaudi architecture and still incomplete cathedral designed by him. Now Im someone whos always loved more traditional styles but Im officially a convert. Whilst La Segrada Familia the aforementioned work in progress was a total waste of money to enter it was awesome from the outside. Its nice to finally see a cathedral which doesn</description>

                    <title>Toledo a jewellery lovers paradise</title>
                    <description>If you love unusual jewellery and swords you will love Toledo. Originally Spain's capital city until conquered by the Moors in the 8th century it's now full of shops all selling the same kinds of things to tourists BUT it is definitely a beautiful town in its own right.  It's interesting to discover Toledo's Jewish Moorish and Christian history. Such a range The Jewish museum from 1366 is ver</description>

                    <description>Madrid home of the famous Real Madrid soccer team they MUST be famous if I know who they are and and a suprising quantity of art. Naturally I began my visit at The Prado art gallery one of the best in the world. I was very excited to see The Garden of Earthy Delights by Bosch because I'd written about it in an assignment in uni and always found the hell panel facinating. There's also a large </description>

                    <title>Seville minus the barber</title>
                    <description>Time now to go to Seville home of flamenco depending on who you talk to. Gaynor and I headed straight for the famous Real Alcazar a Christian palace primarily built for King Pedro the Cruel of Castile in the 1360's by Moorish craftsmen. This is a great place to visit after having seen the Alhambra in Granada because it has similar arabesque work but is much younger and so has much of the colou</description>

                    <description>Adding to my list of countries that I've visited we set out on a 3 hour drive from Spain to Gibraltar. After making it through the crazy passport control que Gaynor and I headed to Morrisons to stock up on tasty English products you can't get in Spain.After offloading all our stuff in the car we wandered on down to Casemates Square where the first sign that greeted me said 'Glassblowing'. I couldn</description>

                    <description>Sunday morning saw us off to Narja a coastal town on the Costa del Sol. I've been fortunate enough so far to see some very different areas in this part of Spain. The beach here was just as beautiful as Cinque Terre in Italy both have mountains and cliffs right next to them but the best part was the pebbles weren't huge Whilst I didn't go swimming I did enjoy a quick paddle wow that makes me </description>

                    <title>The Alhambra  one of the New Seven Wonders of the World</title>
                    <description>I haven't seen any of the other wonders of the world so it was with great anticipation that I headed off with Gaynor to The Alhambra in Granada.We started our day in the gardens of the Ayuntamiento de Granada 'Granada Town Hall'. Which apparently is only open when the council isn't in session so we were lucky to see it. Very early on we discovered quite a large group of peacocks. There were at l</description>

                    <description>Saturday morning saw Gaynor and I arriving in the Historic area of Cordoba. This city was used as an enclave for Roman troops because of its strategic importance. We were able to see some of the roman ruins which are still there. Early in the eighth century it fell to the Moors.   We began our wander in The Jewish Quarter which has narrow lanes with shops selling everything from beautiful hand p</description>

                    <title>Hanging out in Andalusia Spain </title>
                    <description>With the busy streets of Rome far behind me I arrived in Seville on the 30th of September. My wonderfully chatty and slightly crazy Aunt Gaynor met me at the airport. She whisked me back to her home in Corcoya which is a small village in the Seville region it's only got around 450 residents It's awesome to get the chance to see Spain from a locals perspective. I figure if she's been here 4 </description>
