I drank too much guinness, listened to lots of live music, travelled around with my aussie mate claire and some blokes from work – had a laugh probably wouldn’t go back again as everything there was to see I saw but would love to see the rest of Ireland.

I saw the Pope !! It was completley by accident, me and my friend were at the vatican and we got ushered in to this room and kind of shoved to the the front of rows and rows of eager people and then out he came – the picture is how close we got. It was just 6 weeks before he died.

Tickets are hard to get but if you work there it is free! So keep your eyes open for work on stall or be a steward. =)

P.S Don’t forget your wellies!

Wasn’t that impressed if i’m honest. Found it to be a bit of a hot britain. Although I know there are other parts of Spain to see so one day my mind might be changed.

I had breakfast with an orangutan :)

I climbed the great wall of China!!!!

Amazing! Stunning! Gorgeous! I went to Bali just before all the bali bombings went on so I don’t know if it has changed much but I hope not. People are lovely be warned though if you are a women travelling alone the locals can get a bit too friendly. This place truly is paradise. =) Go there now!!

Its been quite a few years since I have been to Moscow so I don’t know if things have changed. If you want something different from a holiday.. or want a bit of an adventure this is the place to go… be warned … when I was last in Moscow the temperature got to minus 26 degreesC. Now that is cold!! brrr…

public transport is pretty scary – I was pulled off a bus by a policeman with an icycle hanging out of his nose and he held a gun up and demanded US dollars from me all because I didn’t stamp my ticket!! The flea markets are amazing if you want to get a souvenier or two. Gorky Park in the winter is fabulous, go and see all the ice sculptures, there is even a play park with slide all made out of ice!TIP : Don’t go to the circus I was very upset by this – they have a lot of animals in it and they aren’t nice to them. Finding food is always a bit hard and I struggled with the language a bit but all in all an amazing experience and I would love to go back!

I love fremantle! Which is also why my screen name is Freo and also my dog is called Freo! I lived in Fremantle for 3 years and i absolutley adore the place. Love this place and want to go back now!!!!
