... or I will no doubt be sick (again)!

I will add some photo's when I arrive on the isle of Tasmania, and I will write again once I am over the jet lag.

Goodbye for now my lovely friends and family.. see you all in 6 months or so!! Love Julia x x x

... finest art pieces such as the Salvador Dali masterpiece Christ of St John of the Cross, which has been at the museum/art gallery since June 1952. There was also plenty of minerals/rocks/crystals on display... particularly huge green and pink fluorite crystals (im talking 20cmX30cm!), as well as a collection of early hominid skulls and bones which took me back to my sweet uni days with the geology crew... Immiss you guys alot!! So... I was totally in my element ...

We are sitting with a huge pile of travel guides, maps, notebooks, post it notes and general accumulated info in front of us wondering where to start!

The itinery is almost sorted out in terms of countries and cities. We've got the MASTA health brief and the FCO no go areas. We think we've got Visa requirments in hand and the boring (but necessary ...

... area, lawn tennis courts, a band stand and a cafe! We had a great time.

... 23,000 and the stadium could have held 27,000(?) I think. I got a real buzz out of being one of the 'odd men out' seeing England was playing on their home ground.... and when the roars went up from the English people when they eventually scored - I felt it was more relief than happiness! It was all fairly good natured except when (as John said) the English people booed their own team off at half time. I missed that entirely as I ...

... night from Bolton and slept soundly before my lectures on Monday morning. Is it just me, or is it normal for you to wake up and genuinely welcome the week ahead of you following a great weekend?! Or was that just because subconsciously I knew that after a week the pain in my thigh from being shot would probably be gone?! hahaha

Ahead of me.. I'm going to be meeting Amy ( the friend who came to Wollongong uni last semester and is doing two ...

... good time. Oh, and wine over here is 13% alcohol which is quite a bit more then American wine. Interesting fact.

Lets see what else...
I got a 96% on my physics assignment last week, thanks to awesome study partners.
My bathroom still reaks of black mold and they told me there was nothing they could do.
Me and Lauren are always too lazy to go to Manchester, so we postponed the trip again.

I guess that is as exciting as it gets for now.

See ya!xx

Tow truck 2, turns up at 15:29 and we are off again for the next leg of the journey, Stirling Services to Lancaster Services. This journey takes around 4 hours and I have a nice chat with the driver, Jim all the way. We phone ahead and arrange the next tow truck to meet us at Lancaster at 19:15, guess what? Yes, it wasn't there and I am told it won't be there until 20:15 and it finally arrives at 20:30

< br>We were in the 2008 European City of Culture, if the billboards trumpeting this on every street corner were to be believed. But isn’t that slightly premature? How on earth do those making the pronouncement know that in four years time Liverpool deserves a title like that? Or is there no more to it than the major cities on the continent sharing the title between themselves ...

John took me to Blackpool. He may have wanted to show me a UK beach resort. The street along the beach was full of decorations. I took a picture of his profile in the car. It was just a memory of Blackpool. We were on the way from Preston, where we met his old friend, and John talked about the word "love", because people there used "love" meaning "you" very often, when they talk to someone, like "Good morning, love!". That sounded awkward to him.
