Hey dudes.
Am chilling out in good ol Chili's hostel in Prague right now. What a fantastic time to visit ascifi I thought...or whatever its called now. Anyway. Escaped London last week, where since finishing 5 weeks of mad travelling around Ireland, Scotland, and Western Europe I had been held hostage for 2 horrific weeks of goodbyes and last minute sights and pub nights. London is an Ok city I have decided...either in small doses OR if you are at least working to pass the time and not go broke.

. Ireland was sensational. Gotta love Guiness in its native homeland. Scotland was bloody brilliant, and despite two crazy swims in Loch Ness, one being at 2am in the morning, I did not find Nessie. But I did have fun trying! And Contiki's 20 day's of Europe... what can I say. If I wasn't an alcoholic before.... No seriously had an absolute ball, met some great people, did some wild and crazy things...had the time of my life. Paris, Florence, Rome, Venice, Austrian Tyrol, Munich, Switzerland (Alps), Amsterdam...are just some of the places I saw! So much fun - highly recommend it... best time ever!

Anyway, flew from London to Vienna last week - what a cool city! The German I can speak is struggling with the Viennese version but I'm picking it up. Its a life of cafes, coffees, strudels or sascha tortes! I have died and gone to heavon....Between this strenous cafe hopping and relaxed sight seeing of the city, I have been to Bratislava in Slovakia for a day, and to Salzburg for two days, where I amused myself with sound of music tours and excursions to Hitlers house. Am now in Prague, its my second night here, great city, but since I came by myself (mates on Vienna already done Prague, hence I am on my own...) the night life is me sitting in the hostel on the free internet writing to you guys.

Go back to Vienna late tomorrow night where I spend the next three days dividing my time between the cafes I have not seen yet, a few random sights, packing, and drinking... Before I start the arduous journy home on Sunday - its like a total of 23 hours flight time and 5 hours in airports...fun.

Despite this horrendous economy class nightmare where you can guarentee I will be stuck next to a fat old guy who snores....I can't wait to be home. Love travelling, but after the companionship of Contiki, its a little bit lonely. And truth be told...I am dying to get back to work or at least routine... really want an income to rebalance all my debts! So, next time I post it shall hopefully be while I am sitting in my own house on my own internet drinking a carlton Pure Blond, and eating Tim Tams.

...while not wearing 6 layers of clothing plus a beanie, gloves and scarf. And of course the entirety of seasons nine and ten shall be running on my DVD...I have some serious catching up to do! Cheers to that...
