London week 1 (17-24/6/2005)

Posted by: Melanie25th June, 2005

Well we finally made it to the place we will be calling home for a while. When we first arrived at the airport we realised a lot of others were also visiting London as the queue at immigration was phenomenal. Another thing that I noticed was the fact that if you’re English is not the [...]

Amsterdam – Day 2

Posted by: Melanie16th June, 2005

Just to let you all know the shower at our hostel is awesome the water goes so hot it burns the pressure gives you a massage. It is a slight change from the limp cold showers of Asia and just thought it was worth a mention. Our dorm room has six beds which was cool [...]

Netherlands – Amsterdam

Posted by: Melanie15th June, 2005

Amsterdam is our last stop over before London. I am finally starting to get more excited and nervous at the same time as I am not quite sure what the future will bring. However I can tell you that we are now definitely in Europe. Everything is old but very beautiful.

Ahhh oppsie we missed the towers again! Oh well slept until 1pm today that’s an improvement. Who cares about the towers anyway all I want is my high speed kick ass internet connection so I can talk to my mummy and daddy. I think  I have officially become a cyber space nerd but how could [...]

Today we were meant to go to the towers but we slept in just a little (woke up at 2pm). Today was spent doing domestic duties such as shopping washing, cleaning and cooking. It felt just like home I missed all these chores but got sick of it after about 2 hours.

Singapore

We finally made it to our next destination Singapore. The flight was around 5 hours and went by quite quickly. When we arrived at the airport I could not believe how huge the place is and how organized everything appears. Technology is everywhere in Singapore and it is very evident even when you first arrive [...]

Goodbye Bali

Posted by: Melanie6th June, 2005

It is our last few days in Bali I am a little sad but a little glad as well as I am ready to see something different and experience a new culture. Just a few quick funny bugger comments I had to mention this one was great coming from an old man directed at me [...]

The trip by boat was around 1.5hrs and this was [...]
