To feel wanted....

















'Travelling, if I was to put a label on it, is (like life) a shizophrenic chameleon. It's a party, it's an escapist, it's lonely as hell and it's beautiful'
Paul Harrington
Spend a little time in Dubai on the way home (picture above - me chilling out in the desert.....yeah right). Wasn't particularly impressed. Egypt was enough of the Middle East for me. Although I did buy a lovely water pipe. Happy days.
I also stopped over in Brunei on the way home (In Malaysia). Wasn't overly impressed there either. I think I just wanted to get home. The sultan of Brunei lives there (used to be richest man in the world) and they have a cool village with houses all on stilts.
Since I got home last week have been busy busy job hunting. And it all payed off. Got offered a job today to be Assistant Manager at Tree of Life Liverpool. It's my old hippy store that I used to work for just a different place. So yay for me! I am no longer unemployed and start next Wednesday training.
Other than that have been spending lots of time with my family and friends and enjoying being back. Had a 21st to go to which was fun!
And so this is the end of my travels for now. Until the next adventure....

Feelin' hot hot hot!!

Yello.....

Well well well. From the drizzling, windy and cold streets of London I've now been subjected to the total opposite. I am in Dubai!!! Been her just a couple of days stopping over back to Oz. Went on a desert safari the other arvo, we went dune driving in a 4WD which was wicked fun! Checked out the markets here and just generally wandered around.

And no....I'm not staying in the 7 star hotel. Just slightly out of my price range!

Leaving tonight and on to Brunei!

Ciao for now xoxo

Ps. Missing all you guys in London already! Was lovely to catch up =)

Berlin Piccies





Aaaah Berlin photos. They are in order (top to bottom) - The Brandenburg Gate, Partners in crime on a pub crawl, Inside the building of the artist/squatter bar, Penny and the East side Gallery on the Berlin Wall.

Our last day in Berlin we went and had a look at some flea markets, Went to the top of the Parliament Building for some great views of Berlin, and went and had a look at the exhibition 'Topography of Terror'. Set on the grounds of the hotel where the Nazi Party used to meet, it displayed a lot of history about the horrific things the Nazi's were responsible for in the war.

We left Berlin Monday and trained it to Hamburg where we flew back to London (cheaper!!). Got back into London last night. Strange to be back here actually, I forgot how crazy it was!! Just here for a couple of days catching up with everyone and then i'm off the Dubai and Brunei and then Sydney!!!!

See you all soon!
