8/9 TRAVEL DAY TO VENICE. Back on the Busabout buses and starting the Southern Loop. On the way to Venice we stopped at St Johann it looked so much like Switzerland so very pretty. Arrived in Venice to some hot weather, first thing I did was put shorts and a singlet on. Venice has the biggest mosquitos I have ever seen they are huge. 9/9 Headed into Venice on the 9am Shuttle bus as our campsite is outside Venice but doesn't take long to get there. As we walked over our first canal I was awe struck Venice is so beautiful [View Full Entry]

5/9 TRAVEL DAY TO MUNICH. Today I was up at 2.30am to get to Stanstead airport for my 8am flight to Munich. Arrived at Wombat's in Munich at 1pm to the most beautiful day, so sunny and warm. Wasn't able to enjoy the day as I had hurt my knee banging it on a door so had to ice it for a while as it was quite swollen and sore and so I could enjoy walking around Munich over the next few days. I love this city it is so beautiful and I feel so safe adn comfortable here and always [View Full Entry]

9/8 Today I moved hostels to The Clink which should have been very easy on the Underground but no the line I needed was closed for works today, oh well. Would have been better if it wasn't raining, again. I went shopping on Regent and Oxford Street after dropping my bag at the Clink hostel, had a good day aside from getting absolutely soaked in the rain. :) Oxford and Regent Streeets are crazily busy its unbelievable trying to dodge all the umbrellas and people. The Clink hostel was great the pod beds were awesome and in a 6 bed dorm [View Full Entry]

4/8 Today I leave for a 5 day tour of England and Wales, my first organised tour. I can't wait really looking forward to someone else making the decisions and plans for a while. As soon as we got on the bus we found out our tour guide Gary is just a little crazy, throwing a bad cd out the window of the bus, making us all stand at the front of the bus and tell everyone who we are, where we are from, why we are on the tour and a random fact about ourselves, wasn't too bad as there [View Full Entry]

Which is a massive parkland with a river running through it, it has a beer garden, surf wave, and nudist area with lots of naked old men (eiwwww grose).
