I've been to the past, I've been to the future, I've been all around the afterlife. But you know...the best place to be is here...the best time to be, now. And all's I can say is...let's rock!
So. Paris as you can see was a photographic dream. Many awesome things, buildings older than NZ 6 times over etc. We will definitely be going back many times so must learn french this time. We lived on baguettes and croque monsier since we coul't really figure out what the rest was. One piece of advice...those FAST TALK FRENCH/weekend away phrase books are pretty much fuckin useless unless you are only going there for 20 mins at the airport.... It SEEMS to have what you need when planning your trip until you get there and realise it has bugger all in it and none of the wods on menus/signs are actually in your phrasebook. SO, you have been warned!!!!!!!! Buy a normal size phrasebook/dictionary or just learn it. Our hotel was small but was nice enough ... read more
We made it to Phuket and have settled into the Graceland Resort. We are located in Patong so pretty close to the night life. Its very hot here too but I think we are getting used to it. The resort and our room is pretty flash, I do not think we could afford to stay here under usual circumstances. We just got an exceptional deal!!! We have not been out to any thai bars or restaurants yet tho...however we have managed to go to two Irish bars haha. I have also broke my no poultry rule twice, eating both duck and chicken....hope I don't pay for it!!! The beers in our mini-bar are cheaper than in the bar at the resort, which is weird but good for us!! All we have been doing is drinking and ... read more
The hotel room in Hong Kong is a smoking room, which sounded ok at the time... but it is PROHIBITED to open the windows so Hamish is getting free secondhand cigs. As for my last entry, I realise that cities is not spelt city's but got a too trigger happy and posted without checking. Totally can't edit a blog entry ??? Or I can't find it anyway....stupid thing!! Ok, about to go out but wondering why I only seem to have long sleeved tops....... read more
Well after getting up yesterday at 3am, flying for 91/2 hours and generally being miserable we made it to Hong Kong last night. This place is unbelievably hot and humid, no one has really got that across in their descriptions of the place. You need to feel it to believe it! The hotel is pretty good and much bigger than expected. It does have a funny smell tho....but then so does Hong Kong to me. We went to the space museum last night but it was a bit of a let down....ah well. I am sure they have them in the UK. I really just wanna go to a planetarium haha. Today we will go off and walk around snapping pics like tourists. Find a place to eat and generally just stare at stuff. It is ... read more
Last night in Melbourne and we have had such a great time. If I don't love the UK then will totally move here. We are just hanging in the room, gonna pack up cos we have a taxi booked for 3.50am to take us to the airport....YUK! Then just over 9 hours later we will be in Hong Kong. WOOHOO!!! Missing everyone lots, but also having a really good time so far. Love and hugs, Me.... read more
Well, we are in Melbourne and I love this place. If the UK ends up being crap we are totally gonna live here! Have seen Natalie and got drunk plus looked around so well worth the trip. My sister will be here any minute, her plane has landed and she should be on a shuttle to the city. Have been walking lots but will go on a tram before we leave for fun! Also may visit the casino tonight hehe. Pics are on facebook if interested :) Missing everyone heaps, still not sure about this overseas moving thing but having ace times so far. Love you all xxx... read more
