... running around in circles). At least they didn't tell me I couldn’t come back! We will see how a feel next week as to if I decide to join them again. I do however know I will be more cautious when they invite me to play a friendly match of any sport. To end this I will tell you I bought a pair of Ugg boots today… I feel a little ashamed. They maybe quite ugly, but it is cold here (not in respect to MI ...

... takes blow up boats half way round the world to some of the largest rivers known to man don't they?

Anyway, it know looks like we'll be hiring out there, which worked in Nepal, but rather than being able to hire a trusty Scud the raft centre we found has given us a list of boats which I have never heard of. Time to start searching Google me thinks.

... terribly long, so I will cut to the chase. It is very beautiful here, the weather leaves something to be desired (but I hear its not to great back home either), the people are (generally) nice, and the food isn't that bad (though I won't recommend the sausages as they are very 'Dodgy' - no one really knows if there is meat in them). If you have any curiosities about life in England tell me so I have something to write about next week!

Cheers! xx

After months of seeing different doctors and numerous tests we established that i had inherited an immune system deficiency that my dad so kindly passed down (thanks dad!). Anyway, looks like it was set off by a virus ...

Anyway, we went to bed shortly after that coz it was just too damn cold for anything else really, and thought it best to be rested for the journey the following morning to the Lake District!

I am not sure where I left you off, but since I last wrote I spent my last day in Dublin watching the gaelic football match between County Kerry and County Cork. The streets morphed into a sea of red and white and green and yellow as fans made their way to Croke Park for the match. I wore red and white to support County Cork because after spending a week in Cork I felt like I had family there and wanted to support them. I watched the game in a bar ...

It was hard to get in and out .. we had to walk a lot .. and use taxi as well.

After waiting for a bus long time (X5 or X6) .. we took a taxi to the hotel (City Inn).

... dazu. Aber naja, I'll manage over the time. Besonders schoen war, dass ich nach dem Training dann noch mit dem Fahrrad nach Hause fahren durfte.
