Well as you may already know, we've booked our flights home in time for Christmas. We have started thinking about catching up with everyone and are looking forward to it although we will miss the friends who have kept us company this year. My housemate tried to convince me to stay for another year last night but we couldn't do it to you all! (I know my mum at least would kill me) Its hard to believe that it is almost August. Time has gone by so quickly. We have our trip around central Europe towards the end of August. 2 nights in Berlin, 2 in Prague, 2 in Krakow, and 2 in Budapest. It'll be great. I've always wanted to go to Berlin after studying Nazi Germany in Year 12. We're also going to Auschwitz-Birkenau which is just out of Krakow. That will be an experience in itself. Very sad.
The sun has finally showed its face in the past week. Dad is here visiting at the moment so I have been doing the touristy bit with him around the city. He keeps saying he never thought he might get burnt in London. Sure enough, he did as did I. Its been about 30 degrees which has brought out pasty arms and legs everywhere so I'm back to wearing my sunnies to block out the glare and the odd pasty chest of the guy who thinks its too hot for a shirt. Londoners don't cope too well with the heat and don't really have the provisions for it. They're good at heating but on hot days, the tube isn't too pleasant. We went on a boat down the Thames to Greenwich with Dad on Saturday and one of the guys came on the speaker and said "Due to the adverse weather conditions, we have opened up the front doors. Please do not walk on the front deck of the boat as we will be forced to close the doors." Matt couldn't quite figure out what they meant by "adverse weather conditions" at first. We found it funny that they were refering to the heat.
Enjoy the cold and rain Sydney :)
