So today is finally my last day in Amsterdam and since I have done everything today was a day to catch up on postcards and journal writing. I was listening to my IPOD and 'Who wouldnt want to be me' by Keith Urban came on and all along I have wanted to write a song about backpacking but I just dont really have the musical talent to come up with something myself so here is 'Who wouldnt want to be Glyn' sung to the tune of the song I just mentioned...ahem

I got no money in my pockets
I got a hole in my pack
I had a watch and I lost it
But it wont get to me

Cause I'm riding on the EuRail
With some guy who snores
On my way to nowhere
Im on the wrong train

(chorus)
Any beds a bunkbed
This guy keeps snoring
And Im still hung over
From Scotland in Gay Paris (french pronunciation Pareee)
And I got my whole life in backpack
My passport is hidden
Im alive and Im lost
Who wouldnt want to be Glyn

The shower drain shes backed up
No hot water left
No toilet paper in sight
Whats that smell, like moldy hair

(Chorus x 2)

Got no food in my backpack
Ive got a hole in my gut
A pack of crisps will last me
Untill the next rest stop
Its 8 hours away
Wont be the longest
Ive gone without real food


So what do you think of Glyns first song about backpacking? Its just a rough draft and Im really bored, I need something to do that doesnt cost money and thats about it. Im sure there will be more to come later on. Nothing like a 10 hour long bus ride to Berlin tomorrow to spark the imagination.

Hope everyone is doing good. I love the emails from home to let me know how everyone is doing. No new and exciting pictures for this update but Im sure there will be more to come at a later date, you all know me :-)

Hey Glynn, I know the feeling I just didn't have the mad musical skills like you. Well there be an encore?
