I was awoken every 2 hours by the fan choking out and weird noises coming from the room next to me. By 6am I gave up and decided it was time to head out. Excitement had grown on me and with what sleep I had gotten all my old adventurous feelings came running back t http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/National-Capital-Territory/Delhi/blog-323309.html Sitting in Washington 4 days ago I was thinking what it would take to topple the past 4 months. I was expecting so little out of going and working at a summer camp in the US and what came out of it was nothing short of amazing. Meeting the most awesome people who welcomed me into there homes and took me out whenever possible. Touring New York Philadelphia and Washington and learning that there http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/National-Capital-Territory/Delhi/blog-323305.html After settling down for a good nights sleep last night fresh bread rolls in 1 hand and a carton of the famous Apple Juice in the other in walk 2 Sydney girls backpacks on there back and they remind me of a certain somebody from the movie Legally Blounde. I straight away knew that my desired night of rest before venturing to Austria the next morning would not entail as expected yep 35minutes http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Austria/Vienna-State/Vienna/blog-61726.html Who would have thought that Budapest has the largest population of mosquitos that I have encountered thus far on my travels. For the first half on the 'Pest' side there have been no sign of them. I come over hear and they think I'm a walking cheeseburger with extra ketchup... I'm here for the taking come get me People walk upto me on the street and ask if im suffering badly from acne I polit http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Hungary/Central-Hungary/Budapest/blog-61564.html Yup so I was down and out my shoes had been stolen and my last nickle spent in a run down casino betting on a 1 legged horse to win the grand national then into the room came my saviour... a man offering a free bed warm shower and a hearty meal. 24 hours later and after a lot of rum I woke up to the sound of seagulls and around me drunk sailors yelling Land AhoiEnd of Chapter 1Well m http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Hungary/Central-Hungary/Budapest/blog-60001.html Sorry I just couldn't resist such an awesome title for this entry.After a not so exciting few days in Slovakia I decided that it was time to move on forward and so the movement began... the movement to Budapest. The plan was to goto Budapest and meet up with some Canadian girls who I met in Prague. Then an Australian dood wanted someone to goto Budapest with so i agreed that us australians shoul http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Hungary/Central-Hungary/Budapest/blog-59422.html 4 days since my left entry in Ceskie Krumlov... time just floats by in that place. So much quietness and tranquility... it got boring pretty quickly though. Apart from the nights which where filled with Absynth fun with a few Canadian girls and another crazy evening with some Chinese 30yr old ladies during the day there wasn't much to do apart from hike explore the town castle for the 50th tim http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Slovakia/Bratislava-Region/Bratislava/blog-58817.html One Phrase. I'm in a life like Fairytale Town. I caught a 4 hour bus from Prague the cultural hub of Czech Republic to a small town near the Austria border known as Cesky Krumlov. The only reason I headed down this way is because the rather good looking girl who was working at the hostel in Prague said she said it was the most beatiful place in the world and she has a friend who works in a hos http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Czech-Republic/South-Bohemian-Region/Cesky-Krumlov/blog-57884.html Guten TagThe last few days since arriving in Prague have been awesome. Prague is such a beatiful city. It has a fairytale feel to it and walking along its streets just makes you all fuzzy inside. So many churches religion is a big part of the culture here... another big thing here is a wee thing called scamming. Yeh I've been done for the first time on my trip. Then I got done again.The t http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Czech-Republic/Prague/blog-57648.html Normally I awake around 8am 9amish to nature calling. Busting for the toilet and scampering through to the nearest cubical to release my overnight water fountain. This morning was not to be. All of a sardine my eyes came open and it was 12.40pm. I had just slept through EVERYTHING. After a shower and clean change of clothes I headed outwards in search of a new hostel. The hostel where I http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Poland/blog-56815.html After a comfortable flight filled with music and endless views of blue sky we arrived in Krakow 9am local time. Oh yeh before take off there was a fire at the airport and we had to be hussled out through Fire Exits. I have never used fire exits before and always thought they where a waste of time. It was so cool though coz it was pouring down outside and crazy polish women where going crazy at http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Poland/Lesser-Poland/Krakow/blog-56663.html After an awesome car chase style drive through the streets of Watford by Uncle Martin I arrived at Watford Train Station in good nick.... looking forward to what ever was ahead.Waiting in the departure lounge I found myself asking how in the blue moon I got myself into the situation I was in. On the other side of the world seeking more and more of something that has got hold of me... a need to s http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/blog-56661.html Preperation ZeroToday is quite an almighty day for Sir Jonny V. Not only do I get the not so pleasurable experience of watching Spurs live against Bolton but today also marks the day that my new trip looms. After a morning of packing clothes into my backpack hoovering carpet and cleaning bed linen it was time to get down to the train station to catch a series of trains upto White Hart Lane. http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/blog-56659.html Allrighy theeenThis morning I got up at 9.40 and had to scramble to avoid paying the late fee of checking out after 10am. Of course I was about 5minutes over but they didn't seem to mind.I headed upto the bus station to book my train to Prague and check out how we where gonna get to Auschwitz later on. I managed to book a train for around 10.30pm later on tonight so am looking forward to my firs http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Poland/Lesser-Poland/Auschwitz/blog-57114.html This train trip was hilarious. Mr Canada was telling me tips on how to A get the best cabin and B get a second class cabin to myself. The solution...Make the cabin as messy.. as slobby and as horrible as possible so that when other passengers come to sit in your cabin at the beggining of the trip they get deterred by the prospect of sitting with crazy backpackers. For us this meant taking all http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Czech-Republic/Prague/blog-57117.html This past week I headed back into London this time with a tour guide. Meaning I wont get lost and I will know what to expect. I went around to my tour guides house aka Clair at around 10.30ish to begin the trek to Watford Junction. We bought an all access pass giving us complete romage of the London Underground and the return trip to and from London not bad for 12 26.The day was spent http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Greater-London/London-City/blog-51706.html Bonjour... Ich Bin Stark un Bist Du Dick yahThats the only FrenchGerman I had ever learnt during my schooling years. The relevence of that exercise has nothing to do with this post.Its been awhilst since I posted anything detailing highly adventurous expeditions and risky run in's with the italian mafia but the reason is.. I haven't been anywhere special to report about. Since returning from http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Hertfordshire/blog-50562.html This morning I woke at a nifty time off 9am. Skipped the shower they where in a terrible state and headed out into Dublin. I confirmed my bus at the station and headed out into the city off Dublin. I guess I'm just not used to huge citys but I don't like them. You have to scale 4 blocks just to see 1 thing. I mainly saw a ton off shops only a few monuments before heading back to the bus. http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Ireland/County-Dublin/blog-46633.html This morning a French girl I met the night before thought it would be a great idea to wake me up at 9am. YOULE MIZZ ZEE BOOOURS JAWNDoesn't she realise im an ill little boy jeesh. I chuckled and insisted I would get to the bus on time I then turned over and attempted to sleep before she decided it was an appropiate time to talk about stuff. 'Soo Jaawwn do you enjoy Ireland'. I got u http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Ireland/County-Clare/The-Burren/blog-46630.html Waking at 9.30am I realised I had about half an hour to shower get changed and take advantage off the complimentry brekfast then another half hour to get checked out and get to the bus station where I needed to get the bus to a place galled Galway. 4 hours North on the tip off the Atlantic Ocean. On top off that my head hurts.After gulping my Marmolade and Toast I headed out to the bus... whi http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Ireland/County-Galway/Galway/blog-46627.html
