Onwards from new orleans to the plain's of taxas this bus journey was a bit of a sleepy blur i had now by this time managed to excel in the art of sleeping on busses it was one big blurr of mcdonalds neon signs and the back of my eyelids. Stopped for 20 mins at houston was dark blah blah texas is just full of deserts and oil hammer thingys. Nehow got my arse into austin at 2.30am not an ideal time when its mahoosive, but a taxi away and found this hostel in like the middle of nowhere i see why all people from texas drive, so get there and OMG what a view so the hostel is this little gem right on the lake side wow! I can see me not leaving this hostel much :p which i diddnt. Met some old folk i cant remember there names so im gonna call them hank and marv, so got talkin to hank and marv and they offered to drive me about as they wanted to look at some antiques shops and bike shops i thought it might be fun it wasnt ah well they were lovely chaps nehow saw a 'petting' thing for stray dogs which was nice so i give em some of my pennies especiallytothe pitt bull pup as i think its apalling that pit bulls get but down in lil ol england and there cute as! Got home chilled some guy had a dog tht kept goin in the late which was throughly entertaining for an hour or so again chilled out some more the whole second full day i barely left it was bliss.
One day of relaxing made me bored soo googled fun stuff to do only unknown to myself it was some sort of bank holiday so everything was closed :( ah well there was a kewl graffiti spot only as again texas was so huge it took me about 4 hours to walk there and i was sweating like a peado without many shops open to get refreshment :/ graffiti place was kewl but dear god do not wear flip flops especially when its those foam things tht as soon i got sweaty my feet fell out of them not good when the graffiti youve gone to see are on a hill so flip flops off and avoid the glass all over the floor fair to say i got a few odd looks but not as many as on my walk back to the hostel chasing squirrels down the streetthank god there wernt many people.
En route back i decided to go see the bats under the bridge, thts not a band i mean actual bats thousands aparently flappin sbout under a bridge was a bit boring to be honest mainly cos not many bats turned up and it was dark as feck and still had a long walk in the dark ahead of me anywho nowt much else happened.
me hank and marv ended up bumping into a few brazilian ppl 2 guys and a girl and a young lass from england woop woop, we decided the next day to b***** off to get some steak as thts what texas is famous for :p after goin to a place on 6th street thatwas about $70 we decided to go to a pub and have some good ol pib grub :p and the next morning me hank and marv And theass from england, i think her name was jess went to austins mini freak show which was kewl 2 headed cows etc and went to stroke the Big fake moniter lizard only to see it was real freaky!!! saw some kewl mini freak show so was a good time all in all, so Austin good if you can drive not so good if u cant. Off to denver!!!
