This morning we were dragging our heels a bit! We've just finished a 24 day tour plus the 5 days we spent in Paris. We were feeling a little tired, a little cranky and sick of getting up early. But we got up, fought the battle with the shower, had brekky and with no plan at all jumped on the bus and headed out into the bustling world of London. First stop was the Natural History Museum. How can you not be in awe of the creatures that have walked the earth, the de...

Today we left Europe behind and headed to the U.K. I was most excited to finally be heading to the big metropolis of London. But first we had the 10 hour trip to get through. We travelled through 4 countries today. The Netherlands, Belgium, France and the United Kingdom. Phew! Imagine that! In one day you can drive from Emerald to Brisbane in one state but in Europe you can actually drive through 4 countries in that time! Anyway we arrived in Calais, France to ca...

Of course there were plenty of girls, sex shows, sex shops, pub, clubs etc but it...

That night we settled into our motel and then it was back on the bus to a mysterious location. Nick had organized for us to visit the Reichard House which has an o...

I have thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Prague or Praha as they say. It was so relaxing just walking down the cobbled streets (not that Jacqui thought so hehe) and wandering through the old buildings. When we arrived yesterday, Nick took us on a walking tour via some of Prague's monuments. We saw the most amazing view of the city, walked over the Charles Bridge (the most famous bridge in Prague), some beautiful churches and the John Lennon wall. Hilarious moment - ...
