I'm writing this on Thursday (yes I'm a terrible person, sue me) so it might be slightly inaccurate as my memory has never been my greatest asset. So there may or may not have been a whale on a 6-wheeled skateboard and the Pope may or may not have tried to sell us roofies. I apologise. We started the day by visiting the Opera House. This is a superb structure which is absolutely coated in marble. It's like the architect went to a marble factory (or wherever the hell you buy marble from and said "I would take all of it, but it's not enough. Get more." It's like a marble cake with marble on top. I cannot accurately stress how much marble there is in this place. The stage is magnificent, huge, and really pretty. ... read more

No seriously, Paris is very damp this morning. A nice slate grey sky. A nice break from the scorching ember that is Malta. All our politicians will be more than prepared for hell when they get there at least. And lawyers. Never forget the lawyers. (I love all my lawyer friends). First order of the day, after a gorgeously extravagant breakfast of French baguette and croissant, was mass at the Notre Dame. My parents and brothers queued for 15 minutes to enter. I took the door on the left and didn't. Anyway. We eventually all got in and had a look, and luckily for us a remembrance mass for 9/11 was about to start, so we were treated to a mass in the great cathedral, organ booming and all. It was rather epic. After mass we ... read more

Evening one in Paris, we were off to see the Latin quarter. Why the Latin Quarter you ask? Are you not in France? Yes that's what I thought, and I still don't get it. Something about scholars. According to Thomas the place was as dead as the language and I couldn't agree more. On our way there we stopped to see the fabled cathedral of Notre Dame. Everyone's initial reaction was "it looked bigger in Van Helsing." It was rather pretty though. Beautiful carvings and stuff. And a weird Spanish guy singing terribly in the background. Welcome to France. Latin Quarter next, u milli jidher hadna dawra papali. Even so, after much aimless wandering (and in depth wondering about what in fact we were supposed to be doing) we heard an earth shattering growl... It was ... read more

Today, according to my family, we went to hemm, there. We went to Queenscliff and Sorrento. Or so I'm told. I have a rather crap memory, as you may or may not know. It was nice and pretty and stuff... xD So we went to Sorrento and caught a ferry to Queenscliff, on the other side of the peninsula. We walked around a bit, then decided we were starving and went to eat in this neat old-fasioned hotel restaurant thingy. The food was really good, but really expensive, and really really small. I mean honestly, it must have been a restaurant for pygmies. I wouldn't feed rabbits the portions thay gave us! Cheapskate scrooges. Pft. But at least it was really good. So that kinda made up for it. After that we went to the playground! ... read more

Back again :D Ok, so here we are in Melbourne! We're staying in a suburb city called... Dingley! No seriously, t's called Dingley. We're staying with our dearest Uncle Tony and his daughter Carol, it's really nice over here. The city is less busy then Sydney, and Mama and Papa prefer it, but it think there's more life in Sydney personally. So on our first day we went up to a village in the nearby mountain range. Don't ask me what it's called, I haven't the foggiest. Honestly, not a clue, was nice though. :) Lots of cute little shops. After visiting most of the cute little shops, we went to eat at a place called Pie in the Sky, which had rather good pies, in spite of the weird-ass name. After the pies were promptly ... read more
