Geo: 37.9795, 23.7162day NINETY THREE...what sick bastard goes away for that long!!i am seriously home sick....glad i'm here, but still home sickmy cousin had a boy :):) we knew it would be a boy because they saw his peepee in an ultrasound months agobeing in athens for a month with family has been so great...and being in athens for a month has reminded me exactly why i ran away from here and back to sydney 11 years ago...i'll always love it here, my other home, but fuck me it's an infuriating place with people so stuck in their infuriating ways - and of course with me being stuck in my own infuriating ways, those given to me by my australian upbringing which advocates a way of life geared toward acceptance and understanding of differences, well, we ... read more

Geo: 40.7492, 14.5007Amalfi and Positano are picturesque and quite lovely...probably a haven of beauty and awe for those who don't have seaside beaches as part of their lives, but as usual for aussies it's just 'aaawww cute"...i gave up looking for great beaches outside of australia some years agoNaples is DODGY! i've heard "be careful in southern italy, it's dangerous" but that's actually quite inaccurate...the reality is "don't ever go to napoli, you will get shot"...the locals can't wear helmets when riding bikes or scooters because it will be assumed they are 'hiding' and possibly on their way to a drive-by shooting, so someone will shoot them first...other than the impracticality of dying from a stray bullet while on holiday, increasing your chances of having a bad day, Napoli actually looks like a shithole - so ... read more

Geo: 36.4044, 25.3959people tell you your whole life that it's unique and beautiful but you don't really get a grip on just how much until you see it with your own eyes, and pictures will never do it justice...it is just so incredible...small villages built on the top of a mountain and on the edges of cliffs...the main road is on the eastern edge and to get to the western side, where the sun sets, you need to walk through small cobbled streets over the top of the mountain and then down the other side...it makes for interesting leg pain but is very well worth itway back when, the only way to get from the port to the town was to walk or ride a donkey...nowadays they have a proper road for cars (for the new ... read more

Geo: 51.2094, 3.22523I JUST DID THE BEST TING EVER IN MY LIFE...i went hot air ballooning - and then my camera broke so i have very limited pics!Bruges was so so very beautiful...it humbles you to think such gorgeous places exist -- and then annoys you that you have to spend your days working in concrete bohemouthsthe difference between the belgians who speak dutch and those who speak french is pretty instantly recognisable...the french speaking ones are wankers...i got bollocked on the train in brussels by a short frenchie chick because, obviously, it was so very my own fault that the train was busy...i just pretended that she could read minds and sent some awful images into her brain which she should have nightmares over for quite a whilebut the dutchies are so so very nice! ... read more
