A sea of silly hats and green t-shirts lays before us. St Patrick's day is well n truly underway. Even if it isn't till tomorrow. What to do now? Tourist centre. They'll know. Spoke to a bird that looked like she been out on the lash for a week, her hair was unbrushed and her false eyelashes were falling off. "go see the book of kells" she says. You'll have to get in before 5 though. What is the book of kells? Some old book. Do I want to go see that, or see the G...

Well here we go again but this time with a difference, Feesy doesn't know where she's going. Cats dropped off at their hotel, £105 thank you very much and now on the motorway heading west on the M62. You can almost see the cogs turning in Fi's head as she starts eliminating destinations. Manchester airport no longer an option, maybe it's John Lennon airport now we are heading towards Liverpool. Haha further bewilderment as we now swing south for a short whil...

And it begins!! It just goes to show how bad the uk is. Just one big delay in 26 trains and then we try an east coast home. Announcement made in the station to say that they are still titivating the train so we can't board. Then the platform us released and like 1000s of take that fans clambering to get a bit of Robbie, there's an almighty surge towards the train. Old woman and suits are wheeling their cases like they are racing the the lead at the Monaco grand...

Salzburg to home Well this doesn't bode well. Had about an hours Kip and don't seem to be able to sleep anymore. Partly due to being uncomfy and partly to sunburn. Now I have to sit and listen to a 1980s throwback german steve guttenburg (who really should have gone to specsavers) talking about god knows what!! All German men appear to think that the mustache will make a huge comeback in 2011. Sorry to disappoint you guys but it won't. I tell you what. The ni...
