We started off the morning going on a walking tour. We went to a few places, which to be honest, I can't remember all the names for. Some real wicked architecture though. The Germans obviously have a lot of really bad history but are taking corrective steps to fixing what they can, which is really cool. There's pleanty of history throughout the city and lots of explainations for what has happened. Things like, the Monument of the Jewish Holocaust in the centre of town to commemorate the Jews. The monument caused a lot of controversy for reasons like: People thought it should be for all those that died, not just the jews; they thought a better way was to improve public transport out to concentration camps; or just plain unhappy with the location. The monument got ... read more

Amsterdam The computer Im writing on has the Y & Z swapped around, so you may see me type words with Z. Some of the other buttons dont work. We started off the day at 8am and went for a bike ride around Edam, home of the Edam cheese. Rode some grandma bike which although it soudns gay as fuck, in reality is the type of bike everyone rides around here and they ride A LOT of bikes. There are entire car park type buildings which are entirely decicated to bikes. Its fucked up. So the ride was nice, scenery was pleasent, bike was easier to ride then I expected and the lady who was incharge of us was fucking hilarious. She made jokes about The Dyke, which is kind of like a Damn that allows ... read more

writing this in Amsterdam. Got up ultra early in the morning to beat people to the free internet! The day started well, got on the metro fine, made it to Newcastle with plenty of time, got to the train alright and then the wheel on my suitcase broke. This is going to be an interesting 20days. When I got off the train, I quickly noticed how difficult it was going to be with one wheel. I got to the hotel alright, but completely exhausted and sweaty due to the half hour walk dragging a 20kg suitcase. I don't know how the fuck those muscle man mother fuckers drag buses! Get to the reception and I'm told I've got to drag it to the Contiki basment...EVEN FURTHER!?! Got things sorted, then I had to drag it ... read more

Bamburgh Castle Since Raph had been neglecting me by doing horrible things such as working, on her day off she decided to take me to a castle because I'm easily entertained. And off to Bamburgh we went. Bamburgh Castle's about an hour and a half north of where we're staying. Again it's completely different to the castles I've been to as it's a lot more modern then then the others. It's more of a 18th-19th Century Castle that still has some rich bastards living in it. Imagine that, living in a Castle that's open to the public. Sure you've got your own privacy behind locked doors, but you can't even take full advantage of this awesome castle. If I lived there, I would totally go to the top of the tower every day and call out ... read more

I'm really tired at the moment so this blogs going to be pretty boring. Oh by the way, I didn't take any photos at the Rebellion Fest at all incase my camera got broken. Blackpool had nothing worth taking photos of so I didn't bother. B & B Observation Now in Newcastle. Just had a read over all my other blogs and noticed a part of it has been deleted some how. I basically went into detail about B & B I stayed in. So since it's not there, I'll try and recapture the experience. The room cost £15 ($40) per night. It's probably one of the cheapest single rooms you'll find around England anywhere. When I arrived there was a lady who looked like a hooker standing across the street. Made me feel a tad ... read more
