Marga and her family invited Sarah and I to spend the weekend with them in Marbella. One of Marga's nephews lives there. We camped out in there apartment did lots of sight seeing and had some great tapas. The harbor there was lined with so many yachts that it would put Key West's harbor to shame. Seriously some of these boats were mansions. For those http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Spain/Andalusia/Marbella/blog-457660.html I missed the shot I wanted. Australians are really odd people mate. You see I unknowingly attempted to order some food at an Aussie bar They have quite a few throughout Europe by the way and when no one came to help me for several minutes I got up and went to the bathroom.Now as stimulating as that seems itrsquos not half as stimulating as INFLATABLE SHEEP DOLLS which were all SOLD OU http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Greater-London/Acton/blog-457655.html Move over Paris Milan London....Montenegro is one of the most fashionable and trendy places More funny becasue we just didn't expect it...and a bit bummed we didn't get some pictures of the street fashion to prove itWe had heard and seen some pretty amazing things about Montenegro and were a bit bummed we would wizz through this gorgeous countryWe were lucky and got a ride from Stjepo the gue http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Montenegro/Kotor/Kotor/blog-457565.html Hey everyoneYesterday it snowed in Guardo for the first time this winter Everyone has told us that last year it started snowing in mid October and throughout the winter there were particularly heavy snowfalls so the snow has arrived in Guardo quite late in comparison to last year.

We were spoilt We visited the Botanical Gardens and Statens Museum for Kunst National Gallery of Art before spending the evening a http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Denmark/Region-Hovedstaden/Copenhagen/blog-457533.html Kuba and I stayed on the olive farm in Piazza Armerina for a week helping to pick olives and do other random things. Like at the other farm the description said that they don't eat much meat but they actually ate meat all the time. For the most part it wasn't too bad because Sicilian food has more spice which I like. Usually when I travel I try hard to not turn my nose up at the local food.

It was especially hard going two weeks without having my danish language class. I find it really peaceful to have everybody around you speaking a language you don't understand the majority of.

It is EVERYWHERE now in Denmark. On Monday afternoon I flew to London to meet a bunch of friends from SCU. Even before I got on the plane to London I fell in love with the accent of those also waiting to board the flight. When I arrived at Gatwick airport in London I ha http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/blog-457393.html Frankfurt was a pleasant surprise. I arrived at the airport and took the Sbahn into the city to the main train station Hauptbahnhof. I had a few hours before the train so I left the luggage in a locker costs 2 Euroes near McDonald's and went for a walk.
