In Bruges

Warning, the following post contains extreme language. If you don’t know why, watch this trailer or just Ralph Fiennes‘ bits. Mum, just skip to the photos.

As soon as we got off the train, we realised Bruges is a shithole. I mean, if I grew up on a farm, and was retarded, Bruges might impress me. But I didn’t, so it doesn’t.

Bruges is famous for its beer & chocolate. But somehow our time balance tipped in the favour of culture. Like a big, fat, fucking retarded, fucking black girl on a see-saw, opposite… a dwarf.

Matt said Bruges wasn’t really his thing. But It’s a fairytale town, isn’t it? How’s a fairytale town not somebody’s fucking thing? But once we showed him the swans and the park he just fuckin’ loved it.

We went around on a boat, lookin’ at stuff. Apparently its called sight-seeing.

Pete wanted to go up the tower, but what’s the fucking point? The view? The view of what? The view of down here? I can see that down here. Anyway, as we tried to enter, the guy said it was closing. So Pete head- butted him and up we went. Those stairs get real narrow at the top.

Next day, we saw an American family about to go up.. We tried to warn them not to… Cause of the stairs… I mean.. I’m not being funny. They were a bunch of fucking elephants!

Nevertheless, we did make it to a pub or two, so I could order a gay beer for my gay friends. We also bought some chocolate which was fuckin’ great. But we had so much we wanted to hand some out to children, but that didn’t go down to well.

So yeah, Bruges is a shithole.

Maybe that’s what hell is, the entire rest of eternity spent in fucking Bruges.

But its not all bad, they were filming midgets! We waved to one, but he didn’t wave back.

Little fuckin’ cunt.

Paris 2011

Next Stop, Paris! Starting with another early flight, we wondered around on the first day, but Ciaran & I took the walking tour the next day so we actually knew what we were looking at (at the time… I’ve forgotten it all now) and some of the history of Paris. It was pretty good and in-depth, taking around 4hrs!

I didn’t go into the Louvre this time (been there, done that) but we tried to go up the Eiffel Tower at night and they had closed the stairs off already!! The lift queues were hours long so we gave up. The Arc De Triomph gives great city views anyway, and the tower is best seen from the ground, not on it!

I stumbled on to some impromptu street opera! OK it was probably organised by the shop, and normally I couldn’t care less about opera, but it was just in the street and I found it by walking in a random direction! :)

Barcelona 2011

So once again I leave London, starting with a trip to Europe with the boys; Irish Pete (met in Vancouver) English Matt & Canadian Ciaran (met in Toronto) and Aussie Justin, who I met in London!

Last time I was in Barcelona, with Joe and Jon, we had a blast, with sights by day & partying at night. So if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!

Although this time the weather was beautiful; Sun and 30C all day! So
we basically spent our 3 days starting at the beach, followed by a bit of Gaudi viewing, & partying at night :) The guys bought a 5LTR keg, and with a game of 21 it didn’t last long.

On the last night, we brought some drinks and food down to the beach, and sat on the steps. Two girls came up to us selling Vegan Cake! Of course I bought one, and only later realised I actually knew one of the girls via Facebook for her activist work! Amazing!
