The departure from 3 to one has been harder than i thought. My heads a bit all over the show at the moment, i just left my rucksack on the train for a moment, not my day pack but my actual 12 kg big backpack. I bought a croissant and a bottle of water during the interchange at Valencia, headphones on, no speaking. It feels like the funs been sucked out of everything at the moment. Now i`ve got a 4 hour train journey feeling like crap.
Ok that`s the last of the moaning i had a really good 3 weeks, from the first drinks at the Colosseum to chilling on the rocks in Cinque terre and finally chilling at Merv`s. I`ve been planning this trip as a solo thing for over a year and been thinking about it for the last few. I`ve no reason to complain.
I`ve just got on the train still in a bit of a mood and while checking tickets walked directly into a signpost, it was like a Marx brothers clip, had to laugh though as i`d been doing it all week and Sam seems to find people walking and tripping over things funnier than anyone else i`ve ever known.
Skip back 5 days, after our park trip in Valencia, we were on our way to Merv`s place for a chill out and a chance to shower. The place was really nice, cold beers in the fridge and the prospect of drinking and eating cheaply for the next few days. I didn`t take many pictures as you can tell but i know my trigger fingers going to go into overdrive as soon as i hit Japan so i took things slowly. After anally unpacking everything, washing it all and charging all my battery's. Then meticulously repacking everything. It also gave me a chance to have my first clean shave, which i haven`t done since i was able to grow stubble properly. It felt nice, i had clean clothes, clean underwear and no face fuzz. I looked awful mind, hobo-chic is all i can really do and everything else looks like a disaster.
I sat and relaxed reading Ewan McGregor/Charley Boorman`s long way round book which i`d found on the bookshelf. Definitely going to be doing my beginners bike license when i get back, i`ve been saying it for a while but that`s just put an extra explanation mark on it as something to do. I can say that with no fear now seeing as i`m miles away, and out of firing range from my mum.
The days flew, it`s amazing how times manges to go so fast when you re doing nothing, before i knew it i was here on my way to Madrid still feeling slightly sick about the transition. bo-ho...
Welcome,
to yet another travel blog!
This is the second time I’ve wrote this intro thing. I wrote one trying way too hard to sound the way I wish I could write. The truth is though, since my GCSE’s I haven’t had to do any proper writing what-so-ever. I did all art A-level as well as an art degree and now work as a graphic designer.
Hopefully it turns out alright, I’m going to try to update as much as possible and if you need to email me privately I’ll be checking my mails every week or so, so just click the mail button above. If the writing becomes too painful then you can go straight to all the photo’s from the "Pictures" link at the top, as will all my videos.
Cheers to anyone who ends up reading this, although I’m sure it’ll become a spam paradise of abuse from friends and work colleagues..cya all in a year or so :D
