North England

Leeds in north England reminds me alot of Newcastle in Australia. Its got a great university here, so there are always plenty of students roaming the streets. Along with the university always comes plenty of pubs and coffee places... One of my great discoveries here has been that the local supermarket sells......VEGEMITE!! I didnt realise how much i missed that stuff until I was able to have it again! Im in heaven, with vegemite on toast and tea for breakfast in the mornings. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
They have a great park here, Hyde Park, which is a lovely spot for an afternoon stroll and a sit in the sunshine. One of my best moments here has been an afternoon filled with reading a great book, a take away coffee, some tunes on my iPod and a sunny day in the park. What more could you wish for??
The shops here are very good as well!!!! I have spent some time in the city centre, and been tempted a few times to stoll down the malls and side streets where some fab boutiques are.....self control being the operative word!
So, in this moment, i'm looking for some work to help me finance some more adventures and to return to all the places ive seen so far! I have made some strong promises for return visits which I intent to fulfill, so its back to work for this little Aussie here in Leeds.
In the meantime, i'm spending time planning more travels to Amsterdam (Holland) in July, Italy in September, Germany in October and further down the track, some more of Europe..... how exciting!
