I'm in london still…
Mar 30th
I have to say after being in London for a week that Paris’ subway system is actually really efficient (even if it smells really bad).
A lot has happened in the past week, I got a really bad cold the day after we after we arrived, thank fully this is almost gone. A few days later i fell down the stairs in the house we are staying at and tore a lot of back muscles amongst other things. ouch.
Spent a day or so doing nothing but watching pay tv while trying to recover. Watched a lot of friends and some macgyver 
It’s not all bad though, we have been to Cardiff bay (home of Torchwood for doctor who fans) and while we were there we went to the Doctor Who exhibition.
Also went to the Tower of London, London Bridge, Science Museum, Natural History Museum and the Apple store on regents street Lots of other stuff as well but cant remember it all at this time.
The weather has been crazy, when we first arrived it wouldnt stop raining, and then snowing, and now its really nice and sunny – right before we leave of course.
We are off tomorrow night (10pm London time) and get to Australia around 6am on Wednesday morning. oh the fun
hope everyone is well!
Hello Paris & smelly metro subways
Mar 17th
Hello!
We have now left scotland and all of its historic castley goodness and arrived in france.
I have to say it wasn’t the best start – we got lost on the subways trying to get to Dream Castle (The Disney themed hotel we are staying at for the night). You know when the shit has hit-eth the fan when jem starts worrying. (Thats my job).
Jem just pointed out an interesting fact – It took us longer to get from the airport to the hotel, then from Scotland to France.. which is a whole other country.
And I don’t want to complain (but I will), their subways smell. alot. And just so you can imagine – I would rather sleep in the fortitude valley train station on a saturday/sunday morning after a nights worth of brisbane getting shitfaced then enter a subway in paris at any time of the day. gross.
While on the train, I was thinking of things I would like to be able to say in French (hello google translator)
- All your base are belong to us
- Take me to your leader
- do not want
But anyway, tomorrow we go to disney land!
We have 550 hi res photos already, mostly of castles and other such things.. don’t worry we will invite you all around for a slideshow
Ian! to answer your question, we were not in Dublin for the St Patrick’s day celebrations 
apparently it is very busy. They also dont celebrate for a single day, but have St Patrick’s Festival which goes for 5 days. lucky buggers. They were setting up the festival while we were there and had several streets closed off for it.
anyway, im sure most of my blog is incoherent, I blame paris for its futile public transport system, or something
Hope everyone is well!
here in scotland…
Mar 16th
blogging from Mcdonald’s isnt that fun so ill make this quick 
we have been in Scotland for the last few days, however our current residence does not have internets (not even 1 let alone 500) so Mcdonalds free wifi it is (go the eeepc!).
we have been having a great time visiting loads of castles and historic monuments like the william wallace monument.
the hire company gave us a Skoda to drive which is.. interesting. It runs on unleaded but it sounds like a diesel tractor (and it goes like one as well!)
Anyway, I have to sign off, will hopefully write more tomorrow night when we get to paris!
