Hey everyone, last night I took the "Superfast" Ferry to Greece I'm only staying 3 nights though cause origionally I was going to go to Mykonos and Santorini but there were no ferries avaliable so I just decided to go to Austria and The Neatherlands instead, Which I'm really excited about.

Long time no Blog

Hi everyone I just wanna say europe rocks. All the places I've been to now are Paris, Lyon, Nice, Monaco Cannes, Florance, Pisa, Siena and Rome. I've meet tonnes of people even some lady from Labradoor on the Gold Coast. Everyones really nice, but the service over here sucks.
 
Traveling by train is really easy but all you need to do is ask because there always seems to be better train connections. That was the only reason I went to Siena, because origionally it was to hard to plan all the changes. Lucky I did go though because that was by far the best day I've had on this trip.
 
The hostels are very good to except the breakfast is usually crap. 1 Bread roll, hot drink and juice, and in some places cornflakes. In Paris I even got the room all to myself for 2 nights.

Hi everyone

Hi everyone. Im having a really good time in France. In a few days Im off to Italy. Ive been writing sort of a journal on paper everyday. Instead of writing a small blog I decided to add my whole journal on my site under a new link. However I cant do that at the moment, because firstly the keyboards here are terriable and the keys are all out of place and also it would take a long time and cost alot of money at the internet cafes.

So far Ive been to Paris, Lyon, Nice, Monaco and Florance is next. Thats all for now

Bonjur

The day has finally come. Tomorrow I leave England and fly to Paris, where I will begin my 1 month trip through France, Italy, Greece and Switzerland. I've packed all my bags, got all my tickets and made all the necessary arrangements, so all thats left now is to have fun. Below I've included a map of nearly all the places I'm going to . Also theres a new link to Sheffield/Snake Pass. Stay tunned .....

Sheffield & Snake Pass

The other day I went to Sheffield with my uncle while he was on business. Its a small town with not much to do, however there was a really nice botanicle gardens filled with beautiful flowers. Other than that the only other interesting thing were the little private art galleries.

On the way to and from Sheffield we would go through the valley stopping at the dam for a good photo opportunity. As well as stopping at a windey stretch of road call "Snake Pass" named for obvious reasons.

Apollo Cinemas

I finally went and saw X-Men 3 today. Just made it to the cinemas before it started too.

Only a few days left till I leave for my Trip. I still have to book all the hostels and some trains and ferries. Also I've nearly finished my train schedule, just have to add in the ferry times as soon as I call up and find out.

Gawthrope Hall

I recieved my new camera today via DHL express. After spending about half an hour playing around with the settings I made my way back to Gawthorpe Hall to take photos. Also I discovered that the CD that came with the camera has its own Panorama program, as well as having a function on the camera called stich assistance. Below is my first ever panorama, hopefully the next ones will be better.

On my way back home I ran into a couple from France/America. They were nice, the lady even offered to give me here jacket cause she thought it was too cold for me since I came from Australia. Obviously I didnt take it. There are also more photos in the "Burnley" link.
