To Spain and back again... (+ 750km)

Photo: It's only a short trip all over Europe Cass!

Holy crap... my time has finally arrived and all in what seems to be a blink of an eye!
Tomorrow is my last day at Virgin Megastore, Brighton then I have 2 days to get myself organised (Hahaha ha haha ha). On Wednesday morning, early, I'm off to Luton airport via 2 busses, a quick flight over to Paris, arriving in the early evening. 2 nights stay in Paris in a hostel and an early train ride to 'Saint Jean Pied de Port' where I'm still not sure where I'll be staying, presumably a pilgrims hostel.

More news coming soon...

It's official, I suck at posting... and I'M COMING HOME!!!

Pictured: Brighton by the eve... I'm actually going to really miss it!

Well the date has been set... 2nd of December! Yep, that's the day my flight from Heathrow, London gets into Sydney, Australia.
There's quite a bit of time between now and then though but I have plenty of things planned between.
I'll be finishing up a Virgin here in Brighton at the end of the month and then flying over to Paris to start a very long trek, yes I'm going ahead with plans to walk the Camino de Santiago. I so far managed to organise walking shoes (friggin' expensive), flights and few other bits and bobs... though generally unorganised, as per usual!

In other random news I moved house again and I'm staying with friend and workmate, John till I head off to Paris / Spain. His a super star and has saved me millions to help out traveling. Also my sis is flying off from London on the 18th to begin her winter round Europe tour which fits in perfectly for me as I'm headed that direction to see Kosheen that very day anyhow! WOOHOO!

Not sure what's next after I finish on the camino but I'm thinking of heading to Ibiza just to visit 'Cafe del Mar', the home of some of the best chill out music in the world, that and it's been a long time dream to visit! After that? France, Italy, Greece......?

P.S. I've updated my little countdown thingo to reflect my new date to arrive home... 84 days and counting...

Oh Dear God...

Well I've just spent 2 amazing days in London. I traveled up
specifically to see "Oi Va Voi" live on their only UK tour date and,
to top it off, the launch of their new album. Originally refered to me
by a darling Internet friend, Claudia! We have such similar music
tastes it's almost freaky, down to the same songs on albums. That's
doing well considering my 'odd' music tastes.
It was amazing and so much more then I was expecting. Such wonderfully
crafted and balanced music and the visual show to match, I was in
heaven!
The trip itself was great too... £4.50 return coach, a £15 hostel for
the night, all my maps and details put onto the Nintendo DS along with
heaps of music for the coach. Well planned and stress free, has me
wondering why I'd ever spent a weekend at home!
In other random news my K800i mobile has started working again??
Figures seeings how I just went out and bought a new 'cheapie' phone
from work to cover me. Grrrr again at my mobile! Also my laptop power
adapter that died in Spain, that started working again has now resumed
dying, again!
My future is upon me now... that August deadline for the end of my
working time here in the UK is bearing down very fast...

Easy lungs, fractured 'air time' & portable browsing...

Right... I'd promised myseld I'd get an eary night tonight but here I
am at 11:45pm in a pub sending emails... where did I go wrong?

Anyhow, a big yahoo and sigh of relief to the new no smoking ban that
went into effect as of yesterday here in the UK! It's certainly making
my late night email far more plesent to write.
My mobile phone... still fucked! NOT HAPPY, JAN! (I had to explain
that quote to an Englishman recently, doesn't have the same effect. So
anyhow... sorry to all those that I normally call (not many, sorry
again)!
And now on to the latest purchase, a new Nintendo DS. I've been
thinking recently about all the items that I have to sell so I can
continue to travel (basically verything that doesn't go on my back)
and this means things like PS3, bike & it's looking very likely that
includes my laptop too! So after some research, one thing leads to
another and I have myself a new DS. Oh well... if this email works
it'll mean that I can use it to blog....
