Not really. But I am in Notting Hill and I have to say, if I could afford to live here, or if I thought I was cool enough, I'd definitely live in Notting Hill. You see, if you walk down Portobello road, you'll see some of the coolest people wearing ... Read more >

Forgot to mention a few things in that last posting. Thursday 17th: I caught up with a friend Michelle from Verdon. Hadn't seen her for about 13 years so it was good to find out what had been going on with her and her friends since the Verdon/Uni ... Read more >

So yeah, haven't really done much lately. Funds are slowly decreasing although I have been keeping an eye on them lately. The good exchange rate (1.97 to 1 the other day!) means my dollars go a bit further. All I've really been doing is looking after ... Read more >

Ahoy me hearties, Monday: On Sunday night, got a text from an old friend from Invercargill, Mike Gane. We used to live on Anglesey street and play heaps of cricket together. Anyway, he was taking an early morning trip to Rye, a small and extremely ... Read more >

So Edinburgh was pretty cool. Lots of fat people, everyone smokes, and everything is deep fried. Luckily Steve's a good cook, so I ate pretty well. Monday: Took a walk around Edinburgh city and a typical rainy Scottish summer day. The most annoying ... Read more >

Ahoy, me hearties. Not a lot has happened since Spain. I went back to London, stayed at my mate Tim's house in Islington and ate more than my fair share of gourmet hamburgers. Lots of nice places to eat in Islington and I found a great place called ... Read more >

Saturday - early start, getting up before 7am and took the train to a Algericas which is very close to La Linea, where Ian's grandparents live. The train wasn't as nice this time and had strangers sitting either side of me. Long trip (five and a half ... Read more >

Friday 26 June - Roasting day today, for a change (!). We kicked off the day around 11 or 12 and headed in toward Gaudi's La Sagrada Familia cathedral. It's quite a touristy spot there with queues stretching around the corner to get inside, so we ... Read more >

Hola. Wednesday : Got up at 4am to get to the train station in Sheffield. Didn't get much sleep as I stayed up most of the night packing and making sure I had everything. Forgot to mention that on the Tuesday, I went out for lunch with Ian and ... Read more >

Greetings all, Bit of an update while I've got the chance. Everyone else is hungover after a night in the hostel in Barcelona, so early morning on the bunk-bed is probably the best time to update. Monday: First of all - Sheffield. Have to say, ... Read more >

Hello all, Week two in London has been pretty good so far. The body clock has adjusted itself so my sleeping, eating, and I suppose pooping patterns are in synch with the locals. Monday : Took it pretty easy after a busy weekend and read a book ... Read more >

Hello all, Well, have nearly been here a week no and so far, so good. Might be easier to just break it down day by day. Monday : Arrived with a minimum of fuss. Pretty long flight but not as draining as I thought it'd be. Abu Dhabi looked like ... Read more >

Yesterday I went to a nice bakery for breakfast and had some tasty eggs from a man named Benedict. Upon leaving I saw a tasty biscuit that I just had to have. 3.50 pounds, so, a little on the pricey side. Imagine my dismay when I go to take a bite ... Read more >

Finally made it to the UK. Australia was great, especially catching up with everyone although there were lots of errands to run and loose ends to tie up so I was very busy every day. Caught up with nearly everyone I wanted to. Had a pre-birthday ... Read more >

The trip so far has been relatively uneventful but it almost didn't happen. Rumours about Invercargill's weather are true. It's shit. Basically, there was a temperature drop (or is it rise?) when I was due to check in and the whole airport got covered ... Read more >

Currently sitting in Invercargill. The weather is shit but a strange fiery ball has appeared in the sky. I can only assume that this is what scientists refer to as 'the Sun'.
Only six more days until I head back to Australia and the trip begins!
