...or rather 'foot', as I'm still hobbling around on one and a half legs. I'm chilling here in Granada til the 15th, when I fly out (no longer from Barcelona, as I couldn't afford the bus ticket back! A FLIGHT to the UK was cheaper!! Thanks Dad! :) Thierry and Guillaume, my Français-speaking friends from Edinburgh came to visit me the other day on their way home. It was so good to see familiar faces after trekking to what at first seemed like the edge of the Earth! We hung out for the day and I limped around with them drinking [View Full Entry]

OK, well, it's official. I am a bit crazy. I have a bit of a screw loose. There is something different about my brain that makes me do strange things occasionally. Strange things like HITCHHIKING 1000 ks from BARCELONA TO GRANADA!! :S I know I mentioned it previously, but at the time I thought that, yeah, yeah this was just another one of Charlie's hair-brained ideas that will never come to fruition- but no, on Saturday morning I found myself leaving the hostel in Barcelona and jumping on a random south-bound train to the outskirts of Barcelona where I then asked [View Full Entry]

I have a story. A collossal story. But I am too tired right now to tell it. And the stitches in my leg need rest and time to heal... ...to be continued! ;) mwahahahaha!! [View Full Entry]

After a four-day cram session at the hostel to try and learn Español, I now find myself drifting aimlessly once again through the home of el Flamenco, el Picasso and...er los Edificios Bonitos... (Sí, that´s right- "Estoy no hablo muy bien Español!") Anyway, I´m staying at a sufficiently cramped hostel in the centre of Barcelona for a couple of days before trying to make my way down to Granada (by what means, I don´t know!). This morning was spent in the Picasso museum which, albeit awe-inpiring (and art-inspiring!) didn´t have any of his famous works in it... which was a bit [View Full Entry]

Well, since it was my birthday Pegs decided to be nice and let me put some of her photos on my blog... (no, that's a lie... I stole them from hers! :P ) I experienced snow for the first time the other day. Me and the rest of the antipodeans ran outside like little children and had snowball fights in the street at 8 in the morning. We then went down to Princes Gardens and built a snowman... which Ash then destroyed... so we built another one... which Ash then destroyed... I'm heading off to Spain in three days, which I'm [View Full Entry]

Venturing out into a sun-bathed Edinburgh for the first time in over a month, my eyes hurt and went all squinty from the brightness. I couldn't remember the last time I saw the town as anything more than a looming pile of dour sillhouettes against the early morning (or afternoon) moonlight, and the sight of people walking the streets was quite overwhelming. Walking down to the Meadows in the almost-warmish kind of cold the sun now only feebly manages to provide here, it kind of felt like it was my first day again- a refreshing change from that month-long recurring deja [View Full Entry]

Um... well, still none of the actual town, but here's some from an 80's party we had at the hostel! :S (Sorry dad!) :P [View Full Entry]

aaagh! the computer shat itself before I managed to upload all 247 photos! :( Oh well... this is the Halloween Parade anyway... enjoy! [View Full Entry]

um... seeing as there is no real coherent order to any of this, I'm going to attempt to make sense of it by using point form... -Ash and I went to London... ok... so far this makes sense. -Trekked out to a dodgy part of the burbs to a dingy pub on Friday night -Got ourselves in on the door list and it turned out the Panda Band were playing there! -Also saw "The Spinto Band" and met their manager/A&R-dude man. -He'd seen me in Manchester and bought Ash & I beers. -Our trip had already been worth it! -After gig [View Full Entry]
