... to find out they were fake. * The brochure stated: "No hairdressers at the accommodation." We're trainee hairdressers - will we be OK staying here? * There are too many Spanish people. The receptionist speaks Spanish. The food is Spanish. Too many foreigners. * We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure shows the sand as yellow but it was white. * We had to queue outside with no air-conditioning. * I think it should be explained ...

... I've been proving to have this past week. I was off for two days as soon as Brian got here and we headed to a hostel in London to get away from the crazyness of Pax Lodge for a couple days. It rained a bit both days, but we were still able to spend some time outside each day. We headed to Camden town in the morning of the first day and our mission was to find Brian a belt. I don't really think we did anything ...

... around there so Rich could see some of it. We walked up to Strawberry Fields, which is the John Lennon memorial, its a big circle surrounded by gardens with benches and a huge tiled sun thing with the word 'IMAGINE' in the middle, quite cool, Leight said that they put flowers out in the shape of a peace sign on top of it, but probably during the summer because Central Park is very bare compared to summer according to Leight. We realised what the time was and rushed ...

... there to greet us, then we all got on buses (1 hour ride to the hotel). Once we were checked in we found a flat, had lunch, bought cell phones, "topped up," rode the tube twice and went into a few shops and were back at the hotel by around 5pm. Now I'm really tired! There was a mandatory dinner that we all had to attend at 6, Darren and I both fell asleep at the table. We ...

... a band playing and a bunch of people lining up. So we walked over to the crowd ... it turns out we stumbled upon the changing of the guard. It was awesome. It would have been more awesome, if we were on the other side (not looking at the butts). The War Rooms and Churchill Museum is by far the coolest museum you will ever go to. Plus, the war rooms are the actual underground bunker ...

... was sitting in traffic, so we got off and decided to see if he was in. Smartest move yet, his shop was full of amazing stylists and stylistas and set the stage for the rest of the evening. He was off to a private art opening for the 20th anniversary of Damien Hirst's 'freeze' exhibition and made the call that got us in the door too. This was the show that began the rule of the YBA and it wasn't hard to see why. Hirst's fish in ...

... month because the shower leaks. Good: There is left over Roman stuff. Everywhere. Bugger 'mind the gap', it should really be 'mind the aqueduct'. Australia needs more Romans. Then it would have been the Roman proof fence. Instead, we've got the Rabbit proof fence, which serves no purpose other then to keep Klages out ...

... night was our bus driver. He was a fat feral lazy guy who seemed to be in some way mentally challenged. When he first rocked up with the bus he was basically running away from us and another guy while we tried to ask him questions. He came back about 20 mins later opened up the luggage compartment chucked about 4 peoples bags including mine without actually saying anything or yelling out "any bags ...

Yeah, so I may just get bored of all this soon, but for now I am absolutely fascinated. Only been the wrong way on the tube once so far. I constantly feel as though I am going in the wrong direction on the tubes though. Kinda like when you go on holiday as a kid and when you come out of the gas sation it feels as though you on your way home again. Anyone get that? Went to ...

Ok, after a weekend in Sydney getting sun burnt playing golf. I left for Heathrow via Bangkok and what a long journey it was. I found that when you go duty free over in Bangkok everything is in US dollars and nothing is actually cheap. I was in desperate need of de-odorant and at $20US I had no choice because it was in my baggage on board and not my carry on luggage! Any way with that sorted I re boarded and continued the really long ...
