back in london!!!

Oh my God!! The last three weeks have flown by and Scott and I are back in London. We made it back to London this evening. We were caught in traffic. We left Amsterdam this morning. It seems like so long ago already! We left early and drove almost to the border of Belgium to stop at Macca's. Had 45 mins there and drove thru Belgium straight to Calais to the ferry. We had to go through UK customs and I GOT A STAMP!!!! Now I have four. Liechtenstein (which I had to pay for, but it was so worth it!), Heathrow, departing Australia and now entering the UK again. Small things...

I must tell you about Amsterdam. On our first night we had a "cultural" evening. We (as in most of our group of 51) went to a live sex show. 'Twas a bit lame really, as it looked pretty much like an Aerobics Ozstyle display. Then we had free time to wander the streets of the Red Light District. There was porn everywhere, really in your face. It was an eye opening experience to say the least. As for the marijuana, that too was everywhere. There were quite a few in our group that tried it. So there were many giggles on the bus back to the hotel. WE spent the rest of the night packing as we had to fit everything into as few a bags as possible. We did it, only just though. And tonight we are staying at the Generator in London. We are starting work in a pub in Guildford,Surrey in two days time, so we head out there tomorrow. Anyone who would like the address, please email me and I will gladly send it to ya.

The tour overall was great. There were bits I would change or do differently, but it was a fantastic way to see some of the many sights of Europe. It was hectic, with late nights, early mornings, drinking, sleeping in the bus, taking lots of photos, meeting new people and making friends, laughing with and at people, climbing stairs, squeezing into hotel lifts, enduring cold showers, being hounded by black men with rip offs of designer bags, beggars, public transport systems, foreign languages, post cards and stiff legs from hours on the bus.

So that is it from me for now. I will next update from our new home of Guildford in Surrey. Take care peoples, and I would love to hear from y'all!! :-)
