I head off on a three day tour of Scotland. Unfortunately, the tour took us north. The way I see it, that’s closer to the North Pole. So it was pretty much three days of extremely strong winds, torrential rain, hail, and even snow!

Ah, good ol’ Edinburgh. Always a great place to have a great time. This time with  Jez, Nancy, Laura and Kate who’d made the long trek up north. Continue reading this post…

We’d been camping for several days (without a shower), and were feeling pretty grubby. But still loving it!!!

That’s a lot of beer!!!

The beer halls are massive, temporary buildings which hold thousands upon thousands of beer drinkers! There would be at least 15 of these massive structures, which are put up by different breweries. So, depending on which beer hall you’re in, you can only buy one type of beer – and it only comes in one litre size!

Millions of people flock to Munich for this month long festival of one-litre beer steins, German outfits, marching bands, pretzels and blonde germans who say “Ya!”

The festival centre is held on a massive ground filled with rides, and ‘beer halls’ and millions of beer Continue reading this post…

The fair city of Amsterdam.

The European capital of sex, drugs and… more sex and drugs. I’m sure there’s some history surrounding this place, but if there is it’s completely overshadowed by neon lights, scantily clad women and crazy people running around stoned out of their heads.

Above is the only picture I have inside the Red Light District. Taking pictures there isn’t condoned. Shop fronts and the ‘window girls’ close the curtains to their stores as soon as a camera is spotted. And then comes the security… Continue reading this post…

In Germany, I tried climbing the Berlin wall.

… actually,  i’m about 3m away from it, standing on a big concrete block, looking like a complete iditiot to passers-by while I try to balance my legs and arms in mid-air so it looks like i’ve actually managed to climb the famous 3m concrete wall!

I hit up a kareoke bar in Berlin that night (with the 40 girls)… big mistake! They chose a song for me and forced me to sing it solo first up – ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’. Urgh. I did terribly and was practically booed off stage while the girls laughed themselves silly.

Although, I guess I got my own back by posting this lovely picture below on the internet of one of the girls in one of her ‘not-so-great moments’. Ha ha.

By the time I’d got to Prague, I was getting tired of being around the same 40 girls. I head off by myslef into the city that night, and met some awesome Scottish lads who were out and about.

A crazy sport! You climb to the top of a mountain, and go straight back down it by abseiling, jumping, swimming and falling through the canyons! First we climbed the up the Austrian Alps, and then put on layers of wetsuits to protect against the freezing cold water. It comes straight from the snow-topped peaks – SO IT WAS FREEZING!!!
