DONE!!

I found this website while on www.stumbleupon.com

There are some very useful tips in here

My favourite and most appropriate for today would be #1 from the list...

Stop spending time with the wrong people. – Life is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you. If someone wants you in their life, they’ll make room for you. You shouldn’t have to fight for a spot. Never, ever insist yourself to someone who continuously overlooks your worth. And remember, it’s not the people that stand by your side when you’re at your best, but the ones who stand beside you when you’re at your worst that are your true friends.

Hope you enjoy as much as I did!

Alive.

Hidden gold mines, amongst hidden mines.

London Town

Oh London town… The thing I loved most about this city was the culture… from Buckingham Palace to small galleries, there is always something to see and learn about. Plus… and this is especially important for me… there are plenty of places to get a decent coffee… which so far, through Europe I have found quite difficult, but not in London, not even in the middle of the night! There are many exciting attractions for those people who are not necessarily history or art buffs too! Within one day we managed (only just) to squeeze in seeing a Chelsea v Sunderland game at Stamford Bridge Stadium and then raced back to the hotel room and prepared ourselves up for The Lion King Musical at Lyceom Theatre! I spent quite a few days in London while I was in England but still could have done much, much more in this eventful city.

Trysil, Norway

Half way down the mountain at Trysil Ski Lodge, Norway. Although the sun sets here at an outrageously early hour in comparison to my homeland Australia, watching the sun set over the snowy mountains is enough to take your breath away and forget (for just a second) how freezing and dark it is about to become. Norway's nature is outstanding, even the areas that are heavily built up are surrounded by copious amounts of plantation, forest and wide open spaces.

This is definitely a country worth the 36 hour travel time from down-under!

Thank You Norway!!

This trip to Norway has introduced me to some beautiful people and experiences, one such person being Jarle Bernhoft, an amazing Norwegian musician who masters the art of male falsetto and the loop pedal to create musically virtuosic performances... devastating that he will not be on tour while I'm in Europe... Let's hope he ventures his way down under some time soon ;)
