End Of An Era

I just left all of my new contiki friends. As we speak, they are on a bus to London without me as i wait in the Paris airport for my light to london-casablanca-ozzuarte and type on a very crappy keyboard.

Contiki was the most awesome thing that i have ever done in my life. I made great new friends (we have already planned catch up trips), drank way too much, slept way too little, saw some of the most amazing things in the world and learnt to surive on my own. And i still have another three weeks or so!

After munich (where we stole beer steins), we went to venice for nye. Gondola rides are fantastic! We saw amazing buildings in rome, my kiwi mate and i ran around all day ad ernt ourselves the nickname of retarded laughing girls. I saw mum and dad before we left for florence were i saw the awesome david statue and ate such a huge gelati that i never want to eat it again. I had a huge snow fight in austria. In lucern i got a real swiss army knife, saw a giant lion - and i got myself into a bar fight which ended in my bleeding everywhere and everyone generally flipping out, plus a girl lost my camera which was the worst thing to happen all trip, because i love my photos and now dont have any of my cool ones... but im trying to move on. At least i can get a new camera! In paris i had my biggest night out yet, which resulted in my proving that french can't kiss and the moulin rouge isnt all its cracked up to be... wild times. No sleep... if i catch all of my flights today i will be surprised.

Depressed by the end of contiki i am off to buy perfume and a camera! Miss you all - and miss reading my blogs! Not sure how i will manage ten days in a car with the rents - it ill be like contiki but with no alcohol, no fun friends, more packing, more unpacking, a smaller car... but im sure i will like it in the end.

Home soon! Who wants to come get me from the airport? ;P
