The Tyrol
So after we had finished being punished by Italy and more specifically, the Romans, we were now on the back straight and heading northwards towards Austria. The journey felt a lot quicker than it had done before visiting Italy. Maybe it was because I was getting so tired I wasn’t paying attention to the road, maybe it was the fact that I...
a lot of it..
I know it’s been a long time since I posted; I’ve got a lot to catch up on. I’ve just been hell busy with other things so it was pushed to the back of the pile. My last blog ended after Monaco Casino, where I woke up the next day and made my way over to Italy. More specifically we stopped off at Florence. Now I know I’ve left this...
Nice Nice
I have to start making a bigger effort with these blogs. They’re getting harder to write. Not because I don’t enjoy writing them, but because I’m being backlogged with so many other stories since I returned to London that I’m beginning to forget details from Europe. On our way to the French Riviera we stopped off at a local perfumery...
Lauterbrunnen
Well I’m back to post another blog – finally. I apologise for the delay, but my life has taken such a busy turn that I struggle to find the time to keep it as updated as I’d like. I’m actually lying, although I’ve been really busy sorting everything out over here in London, I still manage to find sufficient time to stalk as many...
D-Day!
Well after months of craziness – D-Day finally arrived.
Today I woke at the crack of dawn and went straight into overdrive, reading, re-reading and re-checking all the final items on my (massive) to-do list.
Packed my bags and was stunned to find I was 15kgs overweight. Spent the next 2 hours denying, rationalising, compromising, and finally deciding which of the must-haves should be converted to nice-to-haves – let me tell you when you’re going away for anything from 8 months to ??? – EVERYTHING is a must-have. Finally after much prompting, encouragement and finally bullying from Dad & Paul, I hit the target with little time to spare before it was time to leave.
So in 15 minutes I’ll be off to the airport and I won’t see this blog or Facebook for quite a few days – maybe weeks! My Dad’s been laughing at the prospect of me not having anybody to send text messages to over the coming weeks – he reckons I’ll come out in a nervous rash – he might be right.
I’ll post about my outward journey the first chance I get once I’m in London and settled – until then, a final thought before I close this entry – BRING IT ON!! 
Readers Beware
So it’s been pointed out that maybe my posts are becoming a bit too philosophical. I guess that’s just the learning process at work. Another issue has been “why have you started a travel blog before you leave?” Well obviously I won’t just land in London and suddenly know how to run a website will I? So right now I’m practicing and learning before I’m outta here and can’t get any help if I screw up – and lemme tell you there’s a lot more to it than you’d think.
Like I said I’ve copped some shit recently because I’m blogging in ‘too much depth’. Hmmm – well first off, if I really was typing in too much detail, you’d hear stories like “I just drank some vegetable juice that had an increase in vitamin C”. I suppose I’ve been writing here like I wrote my 4 unit english paper, so maybe I need to use a bit more ‘slang’ – mate. Nah, that sounds crap – can’t do it that way so if you really want shallow Hal posts…too bad. (kidding! 
) But where are all the feedback comments?
Secondly, Paul, Woods, Gomes and all you other chumpoids who want to criticise my creative masterpiece – be aware that the power of blogging is immense. If you guys aren’t careful, get ready to have all 6 of the people who read this blog (Ash Tuttle, Erin, some guy called Sam (dunno who this is), my brothers and myself) find out all your dirty little secrets. I’m sure I could find something, somewhere to embarrass the hell out of you.
