Mum & Dad in London

So after catching up with my Sister and Brother-in-law in Vegas,, and Jon & Cat and a bunch of mates in Japan, I now have a string of visitors coming to london! :D

Rob & Thommy (met in Thailand), Gabbs, Joe & Tara, Dave & Elle (Aus), Northern Irish Pete (Samesun in Vancouver), Geraldine while on a trip to Dublin, Dasom (Toronto), and of course my PARENTS! Who I haven’t seen for 4 years!!

I went to a few of London’s sites with Dasom like the Sherlock Holmes museum! We also saw the Lion King musical which is frickin’ awesome, and I saw the Queen musical with Gabbs!. Then mostly Pubs to catch up with everyone else! :)

So these last few months I have probably seen the most familiar faces since I left home :) Although.. half of them are faces I first saw during travels haha.

“World Cup 2006, by Pete”

Australia’s First Soccer World Cup in 36years, and I happened to be in Germany for it :) This is a video from my time there, much of it spent watching the games and drinking Weisbeer with Tim and Gabby! Unfortunately the Ref’s were constantly against us as we had some of the worst decisions and lop-sided calls made in the entire competition, notably ital’ys DIVE obtaining a free kick to steal the match, and the biggest foul difference ever against brazil. Still, Australia made the 2nd round and proved many doubters wrong. GO AUSTRALIA!

With the cup and LP gone, its the first time in a while we actually had to think of what to do! So we got back on the tourist path.
Visiting the Topography of terror, Check-point Charlie museum with some amaizing stories of escape to the West, various other museums, one with a special on the history of the World Cup (check out the photo of the last Australian qualifying team!!) and a bar with a pool by the river.

We also took the train to Potsdam, viewing the massive park containing SAN SOUCI Palace, but Joe wasn’t home. And a odd little movie-themed park with some funny little rides. Here I also say goodbye to gabby for a few weeks!
Finally Dom, whats this Sequin covered night club here?? :)

Starting as a protest (basically some guys following a car with a couple of subs), Love Parade grew to be the world’s largest outdoor dance festival.
With the authorities refusing to class it as a protest anymore, Love Parade organizers could not afford the clean up bill, as previously it was paid by the Government (condition of protest) and so it was canceled for 2 years. Continue Reading…
