We've been walking everywhere around here so we've seen a lot of the city. We've been meeting a heap of locals who are all very friendly and we've even sung some karaoke in a little bar.
It is a very cool town with one of my favourite parts being the standing waves in the rivers round here that people surf all day long. Looks like a lot of fun but we have no surfboards so haven't had a go yet.. Will work on getting one but for now its only been swimming for us. The water is freezing as it comes off the mountains but you can jump in the river and float for miles through the park :) Great times..No pics for this section yet but I'll post some ASAP. (ALL DONE NOW) My last post left off from London. We were there for about 5 nights and we didn't really do too much there. We checked out a few pubs and clubs near Piccadilly Circus which has a good night life. Apart from that we just chilled out and rested up after our Contiki tour.
From London we headed to Dublin in Ireland. I stayed with the boys the first night and then met up with Shelly for a few nights. We went to a heap of places over there, including the Guinness factory. It was massive and a pretty cool place with a massive bar up the top where you could see the entire city of Dublin. I had a few pints of Guinness and I can say that it does taste better in Ireland compared to Australia but I'm still not the biggest fan.. Was cool to try it over there though and even Shelly had a pint!
The hostel that we stayed at was only a week old and was the best hostel i've ever stayed at. It had plasma TVs and DVD players, along with a couple
of kitchens and private bathrooms in every room. Was a big change from what I'd been used to in London so it was a welcome change. We checked out a few castles and St Patricks cathedral and even went to a pub called the Brazen Head, which was built in 1198!
We had a big Irish breakfast one morning which consisted of sausages, bacon, black pudding, white pudding, eggs, pancakes and mushroom! It was a mean feed, the Irish sure know how to put on a good spread :)

After Shelly left, I caught up with the lads again for the last night and found out that they'd lined up a gig for us at the hostel. We played for about 3 hours in the lounge area and had a massive crowd. Was great fun and they paid us by giving us a free nights accommodation, pretty sweet :)From Dublin we flew back to London for one night and then headed to Munich, which is where we are now. The weather has been a bit crappy which is disappointing but what can you do.. Still having a great time over here, seeing a lot of new places and meeting heaps of cool people.
Will put pics up soon.. Bye for now :)
