Photos

I've just spent the last 3 hours uploading a heap of photos for your viewing pleasure, not a cheap task when you're doing it in pounds so I hope you all take a good long look at them :)

If you click on the 'my photos' link in the links section on the right hand side of this page it will open a new window in which you can take a look at me (and also various sites around Europe, but mostly me!)

On another note, I had the best sleep I've had in the last 3 weeks last night - 10 hours in a bed without a sleeping bag, HOORAY!

Ciao

Update

Hello,

I'm back from my big trip around Europe. It was an absolute blast, I don't think I've ever drunk so much and had so little sleep in my entire life.

This is a picture that got taken at the Heineken Brewery in Amsterdam on our last night in Europe. Obivously this is a 'before' shot, if there was an 'after' photo I wouldn't have looked in such good shape!

My favourite places on the trip were Rome, Prague & Amsterdam.

I'll write more about what I did later on - I'm too tired to go into much detail at the moment.

I'm currently killing time in London for a couple of days before I head off to Ireland. My plan is to spend a month doing a lap around the country, going to the tourist spots and checking out some of the major cities to see which one I like the most to live in later on.

After that I am planning on going to the running of the bulls festival in spain in early July and then I will head back to Ireland and look for some work.

I've got a lot of good photos from my trip and I will try to upload some of them to show to you tomorrow if I can get my ipod to work on the computers here.

Take care, talk to you later,

Pete

P.S. Hooray for NSW winning State of Origin 1!!!!!

Rome

Hi,
in Rome at the moment. It is a fantastic city, I spent the afternoon at the Coloseum and the morning in the Sistine Chapel and St Peters Basilica.
 
I won 100 euros at the casino in monaco a few nights ago!!
Moving onto Venice tomorrow. I am having a great time on the tour so far.
 
Talk to you later,
 
Pete

Skinny dipping in the mediteranean

Hello,
 
hope you are all doing fine. Im having a great time over here. Im on my topdeck tour now and were in Nice in France. There isnt a whole lot to do here so I went for a swim in the mediteranean and thought i may aswell go skinny dipping while i was in!
 
The keyboard here is all different so Im really struggling writing this email - but Ill soldier on. There are 30 people in the tour group and weve been to Paris, Lyon & Nice so far. Tonight we go to Monaco where Im planning on winning enough money to pay for my entire holiday, but will be happy if I come out with no less than what I went in with! Then on to Italy tomorrow.
 
Happy Mothers day to you mum (for soon), I wont be calling you cause I dont know how to use the phones here.
 
Thanks to everyone whos sent me emails - I will reply later once Im not on this tour anymore.
 
Anyhow, gotta run now, talk to you all later.
 
Pete
