Dresden: Day 4 + 5 (who knows?)

Ok, so my first three days in the lollis hostel are much improved xD for one i do not have food poisening! Small successes :) made veggie rice with my new favourite food ever = avacado. And had a few drinks, which was only accomplished after the disaster of opening it xD broke one screw, two forks and a few cuts later, with much team work the drinking of said wine (with the cork happily floating in the bottle) and meet a few locals, was brilliant :p

Next day i went to the military museum and it was amazing, 7 hours is my new average time spent :) i totaly reccomend it though you do see some gory stuff in certain sections so beware of hidden shelves and warnings :p then we had a brilliant bbq, ended up going to little creatures pub and listening to hip hop (what has become of me xD)

Now to a few hours recovery before the flower power show and pre drinking (coffee recovery!) Will update you all on that later xD tomorrow for the hygiene museum (the name is misleading) im going to a anatomical exhabition on the human body :)

Oh i got some AMAZING news this morning but im not gonna jinx it xD keep you posted! Ciao for now x

Dresden: Day 1, 2 & 3 (booking mistakes and evil kebabs)

Ok so these posts are not going on a positive path atm but travelling is.'m not all sunshine and rainbows xD so i finally used blabla car and its great, got there, learnt how to use a tram, got to my hostel and its cool and has loads of mismatched furniture and i was instantly at home, unfortunatly i wasnt due there for a week (damn you internet) so realising all the hostels are full at 10pm is a kick in the teeth but luckily the guy was great, moved my date up to the closest time possible, sunday night. So basically i only had to fine a place to sleep for three nights, doable right? Wrong, but he was so nice that he rang all his emergancy hostels for a room, one had one for that night for €25 and free bed sheets, so i only had to worry about two and i was sorted, so one tram back and a 10 minute walk and i was good to go xD ah the messes i get myself into!

Next day: ok so i needed a hostel and fast, on booking sites online it was now €42 + €3 for sheets but due to the fact i used their computer i found if i booked fron there i coukd get the same thing but for €36 + €3 for bed sheets, every little helps xD so i had a kebab and a beer to celebrate. And in return i had food poisening... so yesterday i just tried to recover, slept for 14 hours and really wanted to be at home. But i pulled through, if i coukd climb a mountain i could do this xD so here i am, just had to book a hotel (was the cheapest thing avaliable) but im determined to carry on this journey :) i have great things to look forward too (meeting Ikra in Berlin and Cammy in Warsaw) and more workaways and museums to see, people to meet and booze to drink xD so appreciate the bad because it makes the good times better :)

So ciao for now, and continue on x

Ansbach: mothers day and the mountain of doom!

When i heard mothers day was coming up, i paniced thinking i missed the celebration with my mum (so much guilt) until i remembered it was in march and the dates are different here xD small mercies aye?

I was invited to posh meal at a golf club and drank so much beer in sun that i got quite drunk, so the sunburn came as a surpise xD oh and jen did my hair, and asked for a 60s rock hair do, however the hair dryer was on so she thought i said 80s rock xD imagine my suprise :p luckily a few hair pins later it was 90s grunge, good save hair pins, i will.never abandon you or dispear when you stab me in the feet again xD

After we went to a fair ground and i finally tried currywurst, so delicious :) my new favourite i think :) i even got to go on thr bumper cars and stuff myself with candy floss (its like my birthday all over again :)

A few days later i decided to try hike the mountain of doom, and i say doom for its cruel steepness and my twice near death experiences xD

To be continued...

Ok, i will begin this by telling you that my parents used to take my camping and hiking and lots of outdoor activities and all i used to ask was what i was beinf punished for xD i also used to projectile every camping trip, it was horrendous. But i couldnt say no to an experience like klutterstyking (and i wasnt sick, though it was close there a few times) so wow was it steep, and i mean steep, and we walked 2400 ish feet up, the views were beautiful, the snow dangerous and the goats were graceful. Wait yes dangerous snow! So when we got to the almost top to start our vertical climp up the zugspitz, thats right, the tallest moutain in germany which we had to start from Austria (wow) we realise we had no way of safely getting to the cart things so we had to walk, more like trek down. So, hiking up snow is dangerous, hiking down snow? Whole other ball park, deathly! And i not only slipped once, but twice, into rocks, painful jaged rocks, and wow snow doesnt half graze, it looks soft but thats a lie! So after this horribly painful experience, i didnt cry, i just wanted off this mountain, and i stormed the rest of the way down (my knees) but 8 hours later i realised i hate hiking and no one will ever make me do it again xD moral, never go vertical when horizontal is an option. Ciao for now x

Nuremberg: Blue night (how embarissing)

Ok so i love germany xD its beautiful and its bit like I've moved to wales :p you cant take the heart out of, well, however the phrase goes :) im gonna be trying this sport where you extreme hike with wall wires? Ill have to re ask but what a brilliant opportunity! Thinking i might try my luck at sky diving (I've been inspired) i"ll keep you posted on that :)

Ok so i was helping with (watching) dinner and jen was telling me about this special chilli that they'd driven an hour away especially to get and it smelt wonderful. I was pretty nervous about meeting Jens mum and eating together but i had a beer for courage (so delicious) and everyone was super friendly when i grabbed the special chilli when disaster struck,i opened the pot and the chilli emptyed all over my plate, the table, how embarissing! Luckily they found it amusing but trust my luck :p

The next night was The Blue Night in Nuremberg, which happens every year and its a beautiful light show spread all over the town, it lights up the castle in paintings and there was a tourch (called lady liberty) with gold fire and bratwurst sandwiches with mustard.it was spectacular :) luckily kevins a bit of a photographer and since my pictures dont do it justice I'll be posting his :) so anyway ciao for now x
