Our day in Prague was fantastic, it was such a cute place. We spent the morning at the Prague castle then Rachel and I went to check out the stalls on the Charles Bridge (we assumed this was the market we had been told about until we found the real market later in the day just as it was closing). We had a traditional Czech lunch in a restaurant and went to the Sex toys museum. Which was kind of boring, it sounded interesting but was really a waste of money. We mainly just explored in Prague and did a bit of shopping. That night we just had a pub meal for dinner but I had beef stroganoff which is one of my favourite foods ever so I was happy! After dinner Naomi and I went ... read more

Hi guys, we are now in Prague. After Rome we headed to Venice which was just beautiful! We went for a Gondola ride and did alot of shopping. After Venice we went to Austria, we were going to go Paraglyding but the weather was bad so some of the group went Canyon jumping but I just spent the afternoon relaxing. After Austria we went to Prague and had a walking tour that night then went out for a drink. ... read more

Hey Guys! Just spent the day in Rome, was pretty cool but way too hot! Was gross and sweaty all day long. We had to get up Super early to get into the Vatican City and see The Sistene Chapel. It was nice, but not worth waiting two hours in a line for. If I was on my own I wouldnt have bothered. By the end we were all so grumpy and just wanting to eat! (we being Myself, Belinda, Naomi and Rachel the girls Ive been hanging around with most and sharing rooms with) We went to see some ruins, The Roman Forum and the Colleseum which were much cooler. We also went to this Monk tomb and all the walls were decorated with Bones and skulls and skeletons. It was awesome. Anyway I had ... read more

Hey Guys, Just a quick hello from Nice. I'm having a fantastic time. I haven't really had much time to call anyone or email so sorry about that, we've been so busy and I've been having too much fun to want to sit at a computer. Switzerland was just wonderful! Our camping ground where we stayed in cabins was surrounded by Alps and waterfalls and it was just georgeous - I loved it there. We are now in Nice then going to Italy tommorow (starting in Florence). Nice is pretty cool, It's a small city but we sat by the beach and went shopping for a bit. I kind of have a tan too (yay!) There are some really wicked people on the tour and I'm having tons of fun, the food is great and drinking ... read more

Hi again, I'm now at the Hostel in Hammersmith. It's better than I expected, the rooms are nice and clean and they give us breakfast. The facilities here are also really good and theres a shop with cheaper food and all of that. The day before yesterday I went around London on the bus. It was one of those hop on, hop off tours. You get a little set of headphones and there is commentating telling you all about where you are. The bus was also double decker with no roof on the top so it was nice to sit up there. I went to Madame Tusades which is probaly the best thing I've done here so far, it was great. Half the time you can't tell what is real and what is wax so in ... read more

Hi everyone, I've arrived in London safe and sound. The plane trip was fine, singapore airlines was pretty good you could play nintendo and everything and the food was good. I barely slept on the plane, I was way to excited but the trip went so much quicker than I expected (probably because they gave us so much food to keep us occupied). I got here at about six in the morning and by the time we got through the airport and everything it was about eight when I got to my hotel. I was buggered and dying for a shower. I wasn't meant to check in until about three pm but they girl at the counter said they had a room available but it was a smoking one. I probably normally wouldn't choose a smoking ... read more
