Some photos from Paris

Awesome ay!



Elliot and Rachel from hostel and myself outside Eiffel tower.....picture of it sparking, really beautiful.

Thats the crew i met at hosetl, chilling out, having a wine and playing gutiar outside effiel tower, was a fantatic night and theres the hostel that got us togehter, peace and love baby, hahaha

Pictures of the Lourve, HUGE place, so impressive, cant take photos of Mona Lisa but i was there for an hour or so, you would need all day or a week to appreciate it fully.

The Lourve above and next to that is the view from my hostel room, could see the effiel tower in the distance. Paris is seriously the best city ive visited, if i knew french it would be even better1 haha.

I have way more photos to go up but will do that all later once there on CD, or i have ,y cord to transfer from camera,

Take care and keep in touch,

Brussels from the train

This is my one decent photo of Brussells from the train, haha. So not sure where or that is but there you go!

Amsterdam: the photos!

Hey my people,

Decided to put some phots up while im resting a bit today

This was the view from our 2nd hostel, the next photo is a view of the leaning houses.

A view down one of the canals, well the above speaks for it self! ha (i didnt go in, honest)

Thats me outside one a club, not a smoking one i think, had a cool neon 70s theme going on inside both club and coffee shop. The photo next is a view from around the city centre, heaps of trams and bikes, my god, millions of bikes.

Another view from aorund the city centre.

Amsterdam was really beautiful, whether your there to smoke or just to see the sights it works for both and nost poeple speak english which helps heaps! I went to Anne Franks house, toured the Heiniken Brewery and paddled around the canals with the guys, wicked time. Our first hostel was chritian where we got asked if we wanted to partake in bible readings, wasnt really our thuing so we left there for the rainbow palace, sounds a bit gay but i was really cool, except for the stairs! haha, Julian, Andrew and myself had a room to ourselves which was sweet.

Anyway, hope you enjoy the photos heaps more to come, these just the ones i have on my CD here at the moment,

Take care

Sep 11th

Hey,

Just a quick blog, for those that dont know, my Nana passed away on saturday. Once again this has been testing and sometimes dont know where my heads at. My flatmates are cool, work was ok and i got some mates here but in truth if i had the money i may not be here now, i know i have to do this, i do, and i probably wouldnt have comeback but maybe its a good thing i dont have the money, that way i will never know but it can play with the mind.

Hats off to my family, Mum, Dad and Vanessa, your truly awesome.

My Nan was amazing, i love her very much and will miss her, will make coming back without her there very different. Though, the pain she has been through recently, I know she is in a happier place.

Trying to focus all my energies on this trip to Europe.

Thats it, just a quick update,

Will write longer soon,

Luv

Birthday pictures

Hey, just a couple of pictures from when i went out to Soho for my 24th, was an awesome night. We went out trying to find karoke but it turns out that karoke must be a big thing here in London as it was all booked or what have you, so we settled for alcohol, music and good company. Got to bed around 4am from memory, playing rugby 2006 after we got back city, with Craig on his PS2, that game rocks by the way!, then i crashed on his floor. the chicks in the photos are two American girls Chris and Gareth met at the local in bayswater, i believe the story goes that chris chased them after they walked out of the pub and they all ended up playing texas hold 'em poker (whatever that is) and yea, they were top chicks, everyone had a great time, thankfully there was no haka from memory, unlike last saturday when i made a complete fool of myself at my own house, haha buuuuut thats another story.

By the way, i leave London to go to New York on the 18th for two nights and then to Los Angeles for two nights, then back home to Auckland on the 22nd of feb.

Anyway, this was before Dublin, so check out those ones below this.

Cheers,

Trav
