For those of you who don't know where it is have you not heard of Good King Wenceslas Everyone can play that on recorder. You should all learn your European geography. Or carry a map everywhere you go like I do.I believe I was in Rome last time I wrote. Despite wandering around singing 'Benedict sits in his room Benedict BenBenedict' he was nowhere to be seen. And I als http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Czech-Republic/Prague/blog-91005.html While in Barcelona Bo yes i am referring to myself in the third person and bo is good thanks for asking greatly improved her knowledge of the spanish language.

But some pajero on the metro stole my wallet. Granted I probably should have had it stolen months ago with my lack of caring about security. Nevertheless it is still rubbish. And by the time I get ho http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Lazio/Rome/blog-88601.html Hola Im in Spain. It is raining. Which is lame.To keep you all up to date on my travels I found that lost week of my life. Then I quickly remembered why I had forgotten it and am now working on repressing it again. We went down to Eastbourne. Not only was I the youngest person in the city by atleast 60 years but there was also the annual air show on the same weekend we were there. Two things http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Spain/Valencian-Community/Alicante/blog-87125.html Mentored in the ways of handbag management by one Mrs. Jillian Bath former teacher and practising panic merchant my adventures in Eastern Europe scaled new heights of administrative chaos.

I was just looking back at when I last wrote and I honestly can't remember what I've done since then. I remember that our last venue was Oxford...but in regards to work thats about all I remember....

Me and laura hitched a ride over to grounds with a lovely family in a minivan and spent a good few hours kilt spotting eating icecream making tossing jokes.
