Well we have made it.  It took a long time and was a little painful but we are here and enjoying it.  We are at Erin's friends parents in a little country town called Kidderminster.  It seems lovely and very qaint.  Tonight we will head out to a local pub, we think that will be very interesting :)

Tomorrow we will go to Birmingham, about 18 miles from where we are now.  We are staying at a backpackers right in town.  So it will be great to be in the bussle and hussle of a big town.

So it is EXTREMELY expensive here so we are a little worried about our money but we will make it work, will prob have to get more work than we thought.

Our first stopover in Vietnam was hectic, we were delayed by two hours so we were only there for 5 hours instead of 7 so it was a lot of running around. It was very hot and busy, and horns were constantly honking.  Then we were in Paris yesterday for the day which was beatiful and amazing but ever so tiresome.  We werent able to store our handluggag anywhere so it hard work lugging it all around paris.  We saw some amazing sites, a beautiful chapel type thing called ste chapelle and a prison called Concergerie where Marie Antoinette was held.

The amazing led light windows at the Ste Chapelle.

Originaly posted by Scarlett in WA "Hey Hotties, Great to hear you survived the trip!!! Monty and Scarlett are currently tearing up the WA night scene with Myk, Terina, Matt and Betty! I've seen more places since the boys arrived than in the previous 6 months!!! Unemployment has never been so good! EG: I was picked in lesbian Perfect Match game at the Court the other night as the "Match of Choice" to the girl asking all the questions (my answers were the dirtiest!!!)... Turns out the girl asking the questions was the ONLY other straight girl in the venue so i guess, YES, we were a match. We won (and i kept) a gal / gal appliance AND lots of free booze! Thinking about it now, this is probably NOT the format to keep you up to date with our shenanigans! Just wanted to say HI. Love to the boy. Keep in touch. MWA! - Scarlett" Posted 7/12/2007 2:43:14 AM
