OMG!! IT'S BOOKED!! YEY! =D

Ok, im terribly excited because after about 2-3 weeks of indecision and termoil regarding my moves after Dorset and Museum, ive finally booked a tour of Europe!!! Its not a fullest tour of Europe available with the company (but its the second biggest/longest - 28 days), but because its so late in the year, there was a limited selection to choose from. This is the link that describes the tour...

How good does it look?! I settled on a tour for a few reasons;
  • it will probably end up cheaper anyway because the company knows what they're doing (cross fingers) and the best places to go
  • my accommodation (cabins and tents) and food all are sorted
  • ill get to meet other like minded people instead of being alone (the ages for the tour company is between 18 and 35 i think, so no kids or old people! lol)
  • there are optional extra excursions if i think i have enough money (up to me)
  • i know that ill be seeing most of the highlights of Europe even though they have all been done before, its still a new experince for me (such as Paris, Venice, Rome, Prague!!!)
  • its a good way to get an idea about countries i like and would maybe like to visit again
  • it keeps me on a schedule instead of just wandering around not knowing where to go next (and therefore spending too much money in one place) because im so indecisive sometimes
I think all those reasons count for something! It goes to alot of countries, but misses out a couple that i really wanted to see, such as Barcelona in Spain, as well as Austria. But, money permitting, id like to head to Austria for a little while later in the year anyway.

So what am i doing after the tour? Well i have a few ideas actually, including a couple of other shorter tours that ill let you all in on later when i have it all figured out! Its so good to have a focus now outside of work here. Work is still going well and im definitely going to miss everyone, but im really getting the feeling that its time to move on, definitely getting itchy travellers feet again! LOL This tour should surely cure that =D

Anyway, not much else to report, but ill have more updates later about what else ill have planned for after the tour because ill need to get all that sorted before i leave here.

Hope everyone is well! Also, ill be calling people in the next couple of weeks as well before i go, as i don't think ill get much of a chance to call people after that!

Sweet summer has finally arrived

Heya all!

Well, summer has finally arrived in Dorset! LOL The weather has been stunning and im feeling FANTASTIC! Spending long afternoon lounging out in the back yard working on my tan, reading, listening to music etc etc. Im really really enjoying my time here at the moment. I can't believe the time has gone so fast, ive been working here like 6 weeks now!

Oh and i must mention, that yes i had the time of my life riding the other day, its definiately an experience ill never forget, hopefully ill get to do it again as well.

In this post i must say hi to a couple of people who are my biggest fans and are dedicated to reading my blog regularly....Mum and Judith!! Hope you are both well...and the bird and dog and any other beings in the house while you are reading this :-D Always thinking of you guys and you don't have to worry about me, im doin really really well and it won't be too long before im sure ill see you again OXOXOX

Oh and by the way Judith, i sent you a postcard with Stonehenge on it not long after your birthday, not sure you got it, Mum said you hadn't mentioned it. But anyway, if you haven't got it it doesn't matter, i don' t think the postage system it being too relyable at the moment.

Well not much else to report on really, just enjoying my time here, enjoying the sunshine, enjoying hanging with the cool ppls here, enjoying working and earning my poundage for traveling, life is sweet.

Love you all! ox
