(Advance warning: not actually much to report here) On wednesday morning I slipped and sled down to West Ealing station in the slight frost that covered the ground, caught the Heathrow Connect, and then got held up spectacularly as the plane I was booked on didn't even turn up until 25 minutes after it was supposed to leave due to this aforementioned frost! 2 and a half hours after we were finally given our lovely airborn view of Slough, we pierced a thick nimbostratus to a panorama of vast lakes entirely frozen over, evergreen forests flecked with snow and eventually, a small city which, unlike heathrow terminal 3, seemed to be fully functioning in "extreme weather". After these delays there didn't turn out to be any time for much sightseeing in Stockholm. It was a relatively ... read more

Just chilling out at the moment.. have to be up in 4 hours time (like I'm going to get any sleep anyway) to leave for the airport, since it's at another city about 4 hours drive away and i'm flying at midday. My time in Stara Novalja has been like a period of integration, I've been really not doing very much, spending a lot of time working on music and catching up with my cyber-life, chilling down at the bar and going for the odd short excursion. I totally forgot to mention that the day I arrived there were some serious business thunderstorms, which were incredible for a short time because we could see really heavy lightning from miles around, but at first couldn't hear it, and there were no clouds above our heads or of ... read more

Haven't managed to find an internet connection since leaving Prague until now, and I'm now well immersed in the spirit of travelling - which to m, amongst other things, entails getting bored of places as soon as possible and going somewhere else, which most people find very strange. I had an epic last night in Prague, not being able to sleep again, I went for a drink at the bar round the corner (the owner of which informed me that people who mix becherovka and coke are weird), and then to the club next to the hostel where they were hosting a free event as a warm up for the "summer of love" festival in pardubice - which I'm now interested in trying to go to sometime, as it looks like glade but about 5 times ... read more

Well, I am in Prague, it's pretty early and I'm eating slices of cheese for breakfast. Journey over was good, met some cool people in the departure lounge at Luton, and particularly enjoyed the views over the Czech Republic as we landed, of small industrial towns on the banks of several rivers. Arrived at the hostel and the company in my dorm who I've met so far have comprised a guy from london and three girls from harrogate - extremely strange coincidence when they could be from anywhere in the world. The London guy and I spent yesterday evening drinking Staropramen in the hostel bar (for 25Kc a go, that's LESS THAN A POUND STERLING for a pint ladies and gentlemen, disco shit) while watching the Olympics and lolling forever at the fact that "pistol shooting" ... read more
