Mump-tastic!!! - Apr. 26, 2006 at 05:38 AM

Who gets the mumps? Who gets the mumps while on vacation in Europe? I'm in Barcelona, Spain at the moment, 2 feet from the Mediterranian Sea but I'm not pumped on the idea of going outside to expose my GARGANTUOUS face! Seriously, I have no neck right now, just a solid swollen lump from my ears to my shoulders! Super hot! I'm taking 3 types of drugs I got from a pharmasist in France and I slept until 1pm today! It's a good thing I have 2 weeks in Spain, and I better get rid of this Elephant Man head soon!

Moncontour Tour!

Moncontour Tour! - Apr. 18, 2006 at 11:12 AM

I now find myself in my friend Patrice's bar in a very small medieval town in the north west of France! I can't wait to explore Moncontour tomorrow! My journey of the last few days took me through Prague to London Stansted, then over to Luton by coach, then flew to Brest, France where I met a girl (Nadege) on my flight who gave me a ride from the airport to the train station where I took a train to Lamballe, then Patrice's friend picked me up and drove me here! You can always count on the kindness of strangers...well sometimes!

I Heart Prague!

I Heart Prague! - Apr. 14, 2006 at 07:02 AM

Made it to one of my all time favourite cities in the world - Prague, Czech Republic! After a 12 hour plus journey from Saarlouis yesterday, Melissa and I arrived ready for a great sleep in the warm, clean and super friendly hostel owned by a friend of Suska - teammate of Lynda! Crazy how the world is connected, and so wonderful!

Saarlouis Germany!

Saarlouis Germany! - Apr. 10, 2006 at 03:26 AM

Been a crazy journey thus far, but oh so fun! Melissa and I saw the Lion King on Thursday then headed off to Bath, England for Friday night and Saturday. Saw the Roman Baths, went on a comedy tour of the city as well as a historical tour and just chilled in this gorgeous place! Back to London Stansted airport Saturday night where we treated ourselves to a hotel! Holiday Inn Express right by the airport, so we could catch our 8am flight to Munich on Sunday morning. Flew to Munich, grabbed the train to Wasserburg to watch our friend Lynda play basketball. We then hopped on the team van back to Saarlouis where we are hanging out with Lynda until Thursday. Then off to Prague for the weekend!!! So excited - I love Prague! There, Melissa and I are meeting up with Gordo and James - Aussie friends from London, so it should be good times!

London Town

London Town - Apr. 04, 2006 at 09:41 AM

Made it into London last night and reconnected with Melissa at the hostel! Went out with some of her Contiki Tour friends and had a great sleep in a cozy hostel bed. Today Melissa and I puttered around London - getting familiarized with the Tube and planning what sites to see in the coming week. The sun made some surprize guest appearances today, but it hasn't rained yet, so good times! Going to watch some Aussie Football with Melissa's friend Gordo tonight, should be fun! Tomorrow will consist of a city bus tour and possibly the purchace of a Lion King the musical ticket?

Last Day in Edinburgh...sigh...

Last Day in Edinburgh...sigh... - Apr. 02, 2006 at 03:57 AM

Well then. It's been a blast here in Edinburgh - Scotland is indeed an amazing and magical land! Met some really fabulous people, saw some breathtaking sights and created some great memories! I will definitely plan a trip back in years to come.
So super sunny out yesterday - went for a long walk down by the shoreline just outside of the hostel. Visited with a bunch of dogs - good times! Had a wonderful meal at The Castle Arms with Alicia and Melanie, followed by a very tame Saturday night early to bed! Just heading into town for my last bit of touristy stuff before I depart for London tomorrow afternoon.
