Wow. It has been so long since I've been able to blog. Partly due to inebriation, partly due to lack of internet. PARIS-MUNICH-PRAGUE-BUDAPEST. I have decided that I much prefer train travel when in Europe. Rock up to the station 10 minutes before departure, chuck your bags on the rack and chill out. Albeit it's 3 times as long, but it's worth it for the journey. This was promtly decided after our shuttle came to pick us up at 3.30am for a 7am flight in Paris, it was painful and so unncessary, but unfortunately a train was just not an option for our little adventure to the land of the beer. Now, I'd love to tell you how beautiful Munich is and how much I enjoyed the German sights but unfortunately all I can relay is ... read more

Bonjour!! J'adooooooorrrreeeeee FRANCE! What a beautiful country. Am yet to find anything that I don't just love, love, love about France! But first of all, just to recap, before leaving for France on Monday on the Eurostar mum, Alissa and I spent Saturday and Sunday having a 'girls' weekend out, it was fab! Saturday was spent wandering through the Notting Hill markets and then we found a new hair salon that had just opened so we all went in and had our mullets trimmed. I had a fringe cut in and am feeling so much better, it's funny how a new hair cut can lift morale! Anywho, we met the boys on the Thames, after we'd had a quick (aka expensive) shop at Selfridges, where a festival was taking place, once the whole clan was together ... read more

Jello! We have been doing so many activites since we arrived. Yesterday we were knee deep in sequins, hot pants and feathers. The Notting Hill Carnival. And.it.was.amazing! I loved it so much, so much colour, the weather was perfect, the atmosphere was electric and the costumes were incredible. There was a whole lot of booty shaking (not on my part) and some great dj's leading each float. Just another example of the many wonderful ways you can spend your time in a city like London. The day before we went to Cambridge for some punting. Manya pun' followed our journey. Amazingly enough the English do not really appreciate the Australian humour but don't worry, we well entertained ourselves with our shenanigans on our hour long punt trip. Punting consists of a long boat (which we found ... read more

HERRROOO! Well, we have arrived in London!! We arrived yesterday around 11 am, after leaving New York at 6pm the day before, arriving in Germany at 7.30am and then boarding another plane to London. After about 8.5 hours of travel and god knows how many time zones we were all sooo knackered. Thankfully Alissa was kind enough to scoot home after her flight and pick up her car so she could collect us when we flew in (she was on a different flight) which meant I could sleep on the back seat of her car for the ride home. Her flat is very lovely and homey, I even have my own little "british" room, which I love! I was in bed asleep by 7.30 last night and caught about 16 hours!! So today was a nothing ... read more

We are in the city that never sleeps. Unfortunately, we do sleep, a lot. Today we woke up at 1.30pm, thinking it was 9am (the time our alarms were set to go off), today was a lazy day. To say the least. However, we did managed to go out to see the Statue of Liberty, our ticket permitted us to a ferry ride and entry to the monument, although it was up around the 35+ degree mark and we were all so hot and bothered that we didn't get off the boat, we got some sweet snaps of old Lady Libs from the boat and stayed aboard, and we definitely got some sweet snaps in front of the Statue in our new Stat. of Libs foam crowns... ohh yeah. Once we got back to the hotel ... read more
