update - June 20th, 2007
went to amsterdam for about 24 hours to visit Loeve. Amsterdam was absolutely awesome. Nick and Hayle´s place was great, we ate delicious food and walked around and saw the sites. red light district was . . . . ummmm . . . facinating? Wished i had more time to spend there, it´s ace.
left london a couple of days later, i have no sense of time at the moment, but that´s what holidays are for. Went to oxford for a night to meet up with roxy and her english buddies kat and debbie. Oxford is pleasant. tom yorke lives there. pushed our way down a canal on a punt with a bag full of beers.
been in spain for about 4 or 5 days now.
had bad weather in madrid. it was a nice place but not a patch on toledo or seville.
my new camera had been having trouble focussing on stuff, i thought the lense was just a bit crappy and that maybe it was the all-purpose lens i hoped it was. Then i went to take a shot (of another church) and felt something rattling around. turns out that the glass inside the lense had just busted off and was floating around inside the lens casing. no wonder it wasn´t working very well. crap. forked out 400 euro for a new lens exactly the same. Yeah, it is actually a great all-purpose lens.
Been to a few galleries and palace´s and stuff. Its ridiculous to just look around and there be a photo in every direction. Taken lots of photos but won´t get to post anything until we get back now as we´re on the road, and i can´t wait around in internet cafes uploading 4gb of photos to flickr when there´s a holiday to have.
speaking of that, what the hell am i doing, it´s lunchtime, and 35 degrees outside in seville. We´re going to a flamenco show tonight (hi homey, hope you´re feeling well) so that should be fun. Then i think the next 2 days are spent in 3 different countries. Tour guide is lovely, tour group are funny, health is fine, beer is cold, life is good.
until next time
