I am at my last port of call: London England. I fly home tomorrow! I thought it would be fun to put together all the lessons I have learned from this trip. Cheers Bria What I have learned: -Not spicy does not always guarentee that your mouth won't be burning by the end of the meal. Spicy is subjective, not objective. -Malaria pills don't actuallly prevent malaria they just delay it and make it less severe. No worries I was told this, I didn't learn it from experience. -Charcol pills are miracle workers on stomachs. Again I did not learn from experience. -A glass of Coco Cola can really help ease stomach aches. This one I learned from experience. -Always pack the night before. You never know when your alarm will fail you. I learned the ... read more

But for now the priority is finishing up work tomorrow and moving all my stuff back to my parents in Cork. This is to start me off, my next entry will probably be from Auckland!... read more

The early bird catches the worm För att undvika nåt strul överhuvudtaget så kliver jag upp 05:30, drar på mig kläderna och rullar ut hojen. Det är knappt gryning och alldeles daggfuktigt. Enligt fantomen är det 14 mil som ska avverkas på ganska precis två timmar. Vilket ger mig en timmas marginal till bilköer, passkontrollstrul etc. Hojen dundrar igång (jag är än en gång nöjd att jag inte har det typiska H-D "luft-och-buller", dvs. öppnare system) och vi morrar iväg genom ett sovande London, genom tomma och övergivna stadsdelar som långsamt vaknar till liv i det varma gryningsljuset. Morgondimmor ligger över parker och gräsmattor och jag kör i ett ursinningt tempo mest för att jag kan, så här dags så är jag helt ensam i London vilket känns lyxigt. Dessutom så tror jag att England har ... read more

The tennis was one thing that I had to do while in London, so when I got told that we would have to wake up at 6am and mission it to Wimbledon line up for four hours in the boling hot sun we were all jumping out of our skins for the opportunity. So glad we did it though, just to say I went there is very cool and something I will never forget. It had to be one of the warmest days in London and sitting on the bank eatting strawberries and cream was awesome. We were sitting so close to a water feature and couldnt resist putting our feet in. Mandy and I got filmed on American tv and Dale walked up with a pint of pims for us. We looked hot! Later that ... read more
