Septiembre 20 Strassbourg, Colmar,Besancon, Dijon, Beaune Aprovechamos la mañana para visitar el casco antiguo de Strassbourg, sus calles, la Petite France y la Grand Ile, sus casas de madera con el entrando y los geranios y en fin tantas cosas típicas a las que estábamos acostumbrado de ver o imaginar en los cuentos alemanes y que finalmente concretamos en esta visita. Es una ciudad con mucho toque alemán…de hecho ha hecho parte en ocasiones de Alemania ya actualmente de Francia. Sus habitantes hablan un dialecto con mucho contenido alemán. Después de esto iniciamos un recorrido por la ruta del vino de Alsacia, una serie de pueblos típicos de esta región y productores de vinos, especialmente el Riesling. Nos sentimos en Alemania en todo momento. Pasamos por Molsheim, Obernai, el mas grande de todos…allí caminamos un rato ... read more

18 days. What went through my mind when i booked my ticket for marseille? u tell me. i've never been so bored, people are still the same, lazy, rude, always complaining, loud mouth, please someone put me onto the next airplane. so what happened since the 11th? i've seen tons of doctors, i've been brave and had my wisdom tooth taken out, been eating a lot and sick a lot; my body must have got used to bad food in England but it was so worth it, don't forget that i'm gonna starve for 2 months in Asia. I've seen all my friends, my parents, been told by my ex-boyfriend, in short, to piss off, life couldn't be better. the good thing was maybe i got the chance to see 50cent perform yesterday night and it ... read more

Damn. Its been a busy few weeks and this blog is in serious disrepair! Well i left off last time as i was departing for a week-long event called Footbag Camp, at a resort some 20 hours by bus from Prague at a place called Baska Voda, Croatia. Its located on the Croatian coast, with a backdrop of stoney grey mountains, crytal clear water and seemingly permanent cloudless blue skies. The camp was organised by the Czech footbag crew and welcomed people from Czech Rep., Australia, Germany, Austria, France, Russia etc. We camped in comfortable 4 man tents, the most important feature of which was the fridge to keep our beer cold :0) The week was spent largely on footbag training on various concepts every day, led by the 4 time World Champion from the Czech ... read more

After 2 flights of boredom, we arrived at Heathrow Airport at 5.50am on Sept 21st. In Kuala Lumpur Amanda got searched whilst checking in for our flight to Heathrow, though obviously had nothing on her. Takeoff, landing and turbulence are fun, whilst cruising is quite boring. England is very different from Melbourne in some ways, though very similar in others. Major differences are the speed limits (much faster here), the width of the streets and the supermarkets (they sell everything!) We went for a walk down the street to the shopping area yesterday and found that despite popular opinion they do sell Milo, Cadbury, and Vegemite in the shops. On the way back we saw a car accident but luckily no one was hurt. We’ve met most of the family now (I think) and they are ... read more
