So at the moment I'm sitting on a french train to cebere, just had some crazy changeover from the shitty spanish one. French trains are coushty. Basically we were told to get off even though it was meant to go direct and nobody had the slightest clue what was going on - fun. Had a good last day in Barcelona, went and showed Emz the house of bones and La Pedera (More gaudi Stuff) and even went inside the hotel, only cose me €4. It was really good inside, just a general history of Gaudi and his work. We then went off to the Palace and got thoroughly pissed off at some stupid f*****ng skate show that was on right out front of the palace. We had to walk all the way round the outside....bastards. ... read more

I only speak five french words and it would have really helped us if I just tried to learn some more before we went to Marseille. Very few people can speak in english though they tried really hard to help us with directions. The first person I asked for directions was the bus driver who drove us from the airport. I asked how to go to Prado and he didn't understand me first since I pronounced it "pra-doe" instead of something like "prah-doh". He told me the directions and I kept on saying "Yeah, Okay, Merzeee.." while he was talking but I actually didn't understand a word since he was speaking in French. He did pointed out his hand while talking so at least I knew where to start. Hehe. At the train station, we did ... read more

No way could I ever remember the name of the restaurant (much less pronounce it!) but never will I forget the experience. I walked all over Marseilles, from Notre Dame de la Garde to Palais Longchamps. Coming down from the cathedral, I passed a small restaurant/fish market, that had its seafood tantalizingly displayed outside in total artful form. I was booking it soo fast down the hill that the sight registered in my brain after I had passed it. I put my stride in reverse for a second look. The prawns were three feet long and a foot wide... well, maybe not that large. They seemed to me to be though. Let's just say they were HUGE. They were soooo artfully displayed... It was too much... the magnetic pull was worse than someone grabbing me by ... read more

Hello, So i realize it has been a while... but Kelly and i have been unbelievably busy the past few weeks. After setting out on our own we have visited Vienna, Austria; Prague, Czech Republic; Budapest, Hungary; and are hanging out in Italy now. Needless to say we have been having a lot of fun (maybe too much) and now are completely exhausted. So the run down, (i promise i will try to keep it brief, but really there is a lot to tell you about)... Vienna was fantastic! We stayed with a med school student, named Lukas, in the center of down town Vienna. In our 5 days there we made an impressive tour of the university night life scene, saw countless palaces and museums, tasted a plethora of local delicacies (the Pakistani food that ... read more
