See English text below 19 de enero 2008. Sábado Cuando me levanto me encuentro al francés abarullado blasfemando delante de la puerta del albergue. Hace ya rato que quería salir, pero la puerta no la abren hasta las 8. "Brrrruuubrrruuu!!!brruuuubrruuu!!!"- es lo que básicamente dice todo el tiempo sin parar. A este curioso personaje ya le conocía de antes, pues en el albergue de Burgos ya se ha quedado varias veces. Lleva haciendo muchas veces el camino de Santiago y aún no me ha quedado claro sí es que lo hace porque no tiene casa o porque le gusta realmente mucho (o ambas cosas). Abarulladamente me ennumera todos los albergues en los que no hay que pagar (es decir, casi ninguno desde aquí hasta Santiago), los albergues que están cerrados en Santiago y bla bla bla ... read more

Amongst the hustle and bustle of Oxford Street, through the crowds emerged my cousin Peter. Now Peter is only a couple of years younger than me and luckily for me, going to let me crash at his place for a couple of nights before I head back down to Hythe to the rest of the family. Lugging my pack all the way, we walked down Bond Street, past Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square to Charing Cross Station where we caught the train to Woolwich Arsenel which is where he lives. This area is experiencing quite a revival with lots of redevelopment and new building going up around the place, reminding me quite a lot of some of the coastal developments going on at home. Staying on the fifth floor of his apartment building with a view ... read more

Hello. It has come to my attention to whatever idiot told me there are 8 popes really is an idiot. I will investigate their reasoning/strange ideas later and report back! Yesterday we went to about 10 sites! It is hard to keep track of them and they are written down somewhere... but some of my favorites were San. Givovanni, San. Pietro (a smaller one Ill add pictures later!), San Cuatro, Piazza Navona and Piazza Feresse. I will get pictures up as soon as we get WiFi! This 1990 computers here are killing my photo capabilities! Today is a "work" day and tomorrow we leave for "vacation"! We are going to the island Ischia! We go for three days, then head to Switzerland, then to our final leg of the trip, Paris! More to come of course. ... read more

Hey! (annyit tesz hello svédül) ma hamar végelett az órának, az indiai srácok az európa-körútjukra foglalták le a jegyeket, és mivel egyiküknek sincs bankkártyája, a tanárunk, carin odaadta az övét, hogy azzal vegyék meg az interneten a jegyeket, ők meg készpénzben odaadták. szóval eljöttek ide indiából az összes vagyonukat készpénzben hozva, nem semmi.... szóval hazajöttem és aludtam egy hatalmasat :) aztán siobhánnal bebicóztunk a városba a nationömbe, ahol találkoztunk a másik ír lánnyal, vanessával, meg egy ír fiúval, mind kicsit nyúzottak voltak az előző napi buli miatt :D, vanessa tele volt kék-lila foltokkal, párszor elesett a bringájával :))) na aztán jártunk nationről nationre, mindenhol egy sör, nagyon vicces volt, mindenhol megismerkedtünk vki mással, aztán 2 chilei-svéd fiúval még elmentünk szokásos hajnali hamburgert enni majd f3 körül, már világosban (!) hazatekertünk. a... read more

Yesterday we left a sunny Amsterdam behind us and flew to a sunnier Copenhagen! I got sunburnt on the plane, but that is nothing out of the ordinary... weather was gorgeous and i was wandering around all day in a singlet and jeans... less than i wore through the Aussie Summer i think! As soon as we got here our first stop was information to get a map and find out what's what in Copenhagen... the free map we picked up had a self guided walking tour in it that covered most of our must-see list and whilst it estimated 3 hours we braved it anyway! Grabbed ice cream on the way so we could have Copenhagen icecream from a Copenhagen icecreamery, and ventured pretty much all over the city.... We visited Hans Christian Anderson and ... read more
