It seems to be getting harder and harder to find the time to write these entries, and often when I do have the time I either don't have access to a computer or I'm just too exhausted to be bothered. Anyway, the last entry left off with Saul talking to the members of the band that we saw at a bar and asking if they had a couch for us for the next night. Turns out they did, but they lived in Lyon, and we were in Nimes. So what did we do? Well the next day we hitch...

Wow, does this feel like it happened a million years ago. Writing this is an absolute b****, damn French keyboards. So forgive me if there is the odd q instead of a or , instead of m. From Barcelona we had about one week before Saul was off to Europe and we were deciding what to do. The first plan was Italy, but we eventually settled on the south of France as it was closer. However, it didn't prove as easy to get there as it should have. We had a Couchsurfing ho...

Barceòpna was a bit of an interesting time. We were there for 4 days, but somehow didn't really do anything. I think we were getting hit with a hangover 3 days in the making from Oktoberfest.

It has been quite a while since I've made an update to this. It has been a crazy couple of weeks all starting with Oktoberfest. I haven't been able to upload any photos yet as I had my laptop stolen. I'm writing this from an Internet cafe in Milan. Im really not sure what there is to write about Oktoberfest really. It was just a crazy 3 days of basically drinking from noon until about 10 or 11pm. I met a crazy bunch of Aussies and one South African who is now li...

From Liptovský Mikuláš we hitch-hiked to Žilina to see a couple of castles there. There were two old guard castles (maybe keeps or forts I guess). One closer to the town which required a paid tour to see, the other further down which didn't. We just walked by the first one and went to the other which is called Starý Hrad, which means Old Castle. Which was a good choice. It was a bit of a hike up into the forest but we were the only ones there. It was a full ...
