Birthdays, Rain, Work and no internet

and that pretty much sums up the week or so...

Tuesday was my first birthday away from home, little different spending it with Lindsay rather than the parents, but spoke with them on the phone for ages. Then Lindsay took me out for breakfast, which was yummy. Then we went to a show called We Will Rock You. Its based on the songs from Queen with a bit f a story thrown in for good measure. It was awesome. And stoked they played our day song. A day song for those that dont know is a song that we listen to every morning when we got on teh bus on Contiki. It is Dont Stop me now. As soon as it started playing at the show i got all excited and nostalgic, for being crammed in a bus with 50 other people!!

Well i have experienced first hand why everyone thinks it rains a lot in England... BECAUSE IT DOES!!!!!!!!!!! the last few days we have had quite a bit of rain... and me yet to invest in an umbrella (doh!!) is has fined up today but the clouds are still a-threatening :)

... and work... yes well who would have thought i'd be itching to get back to work... ok who wouldnt have thought it! but i am, 2 weeks off doing not much, apart from job searching is getting slightly tiresome!!! so if anyone has a cousins, friends, mothers, son looking for anyone who needs work??????

Internet will be hooked up on sunday... all going to plan so then i can be in touch a lot more... these internet cafes are not cheap!

hope you're all well and happy

Living in London

the last few days have flown by... we found a flat, i have a room, i have all my clothes out of my pack (sweet!!!) and we are almost settled... next would be the job.

things have flown by so fast in the last week, it barely feels like a week that we have been back in london! i havnt seen much as i have been stressing about finding work.

the next mission is to find a job... not as easy as one would think being a kiwi in london, but hopefully it wont be too long, as the old money situation is not looking promising!! especially with rent going out...

tonight i am at my brothers bar, and he is making cocktails... i have to say pretty good ones... very very very berry bery drinkable... :) hehehe

so therefore i have much better thing to do than update this...

hope all is good with you all... prromise to rite more wen im not dfrunk... :)

CU

Vienna to Prague to Munich to Switzerland to Germany (again) to Amsterdam to London

Ok, so I am still alive... but the last 2 weeks have been a little insane... more so than usual!

so from Venice we made our way to Vienna, which was crazy! our first night we attended a Mozart/Strauss Concert which was great, nice to see a number of tv advertisements ripping off the greats :)

The euro cup was also being played in vienna while we were there, which made driving, sightseeing and general movement within the city ... interesting, to say the least.

Had 2 full days in Prague, where we saw Charles Bridge, the most photographed bridge in Prague, also the bridge at the end of the movie XXX (go Vin Deisel). Also had a bike tour through the city which was fun, especially on the cobblestones.

After Prague we had one night in Munich... 2 words... beer hall :) nothing like a litre of beer to celebrate octoberfest... oh no wait... only 4 months too early!!

Then onto the beautiful switzerland, and swiss alps, where we went to the top of europe, also known as jangfrau, some 11,000 feet up! was a great day out, had a snow fight, did snow angels, wrote in the snow... with our hands!!! get your mind out of the gutter only boys can do that!! we also attempted the snow man, but we were all to lazy to move the snow. :)

We then made it back into Germany were Birkenstock's are only 45 euro!! nice... here we stayed in Grandmas house... the most freakiest "hotel" in the world!! jesus rooms, dress up clothes, leaky ceilings and creepy locked cupboards. did i mention my own personal shower... next to my bed!!

once in the Netherlands we did a bike tour through edam then a visit to the clog factory and cheese factory... yes together. but funnily enough no cheese clogs???

Amsterdam was a blast, the first night we went to a sex show... yes a sex show... and thats all i will say on the matter :) and also took a walk through the red light district... its literally like window shopping, only for women... or not women... what ever your taste

the following day we went to Anne Franks house, which is now a museum, it was fascinating and really well laid out with excerpts from her diaries and photos from when they lived there.

After amsterdam we made our way back to london. where for good measure we all went to the bar... well going cold turkey would have been a bit of a shock to the system!

went to camden market on Saturday, where i met up with Hannah YAY!!!!!!!! friend i havnt seen in 3 years. was awesome to see her again after all that time.

yesterday we went to church... church is from 12 till 4 you have to buy 3 drinks at a time and the idea is to get as drunk as fast as you can. enough said...

today Narae, Brooke, Sam, Andre and I found a flat to move into, we can move in tomorrow, its a nice wee place and i have a nice wee room.

anyway thats enough... you may all breath a sigh of relief now :)
