James & Vilija

August, empty august… Its a time when Europe shuts down, everybody goes on holidays and normally buzzing metropolises become ghost towns complete with rolling tourists being blown down the main street by a hot northerly wind. At risk of boredom we decided to join the mass temporary migration and planned a holiday to Corsica & Paris with Vilija’s friend from Paris, James (henceforth referred to as Paris James) and his girlfriend Malene.

Stage one in the grand plan was to meet Paris James in Milano. He arrived on a cattle plane (mistakenly labeled as Ryan Air) from Paris and we wondered around Milano, the first real time for all of us. This was our first introduction to Europe in mid August. The Sydney of Italia was empty, streets that were death traps when I was there waiting for my flight last time were perfect spots for a spot of backyard cricket. (more…)

I have just added three new photo galleries covering recent adventures

- EuroFlora 2006
- Nice & Monaco
- Cinque Terra (inc. Continued adventures of Hippocrates)

There is also a movie from Nice here…

I hope you enjoy them folks, don’t be affraid of sending your comments!

Well, its Sunday afternoon and unusually I am not sitting here wondering what to write, but rather how to cover everything in sufficient detail without requiring those who read the following to devote a week to find the end.

In short in the past two weeks I have been to EuroFlora, Nice, Monaco/Monte-Carlo, Cinque Terra and a friend from university Amie has come to stay for a little under a week. (more…)
