So it appears that I have taken a break from my blog. But as I have a four-hour train ahead of me I thought it would be right to provide those interested with an update. As far as I am aware, my last entry was just after I left Greece some 5 or 6 months ago. Well a lot has happened since then and I will do my best to recount the events of recent times. From Greece I made my way up to Norway where I was to meet Ragnhild and Emily in Bergen. Blessed with near p...

We rode on the Amtrak train and it was very comfortable. 5 hours later we were to arrive in the nations capital. Here we did everything you'd expect. Saw the White House, Washington monument, World War II memorial, Lincoln memorial, Kenned...

Although we didn't spend too much time in Austin, it was up there with my favourite places so far. The weather was hot so we set out to find somewhere to swim. We had met a couple of English girls the night before in the hostel so we were fortunate enough to have some new company.
