Sorry, gone travelling.

In May 2011 I set off on a 7 month journey. With nothing but a backpack on my back, my best friend by my side and a return ticket to EUROPE... Needless to say it was by far the most amazing 7 months of my absolute life!!! Somehow I was motivated enough (and stupid enough) to keep a travel blog going through the whole adventure, and so now, with technology being as fabulous as it is, our story is now roughly preserved on this silly blog.

"Promise me you'll never forget me, because if I thought you would, then I'd never leave."

-A.A Milne

It's hard you know, saying goodbye to our family and friends, kissing our comfortable beds goodbye, waving a sad farewell to the lives we've called home for the last 18 years... But this is the adventure of travelling, right?

"Don't be dismayed by good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again."

La Hermosa Granada

We are saying in Granada for two nights, in the cute old town area. Granada is sweet as, lined with tapas bars and Morrocan hippie shops, and surrounded by mountains.. Ah, i may never leave. We arrived on the midnight train, so when we woke up at 7am and looked out the window the sun was rising over the countryside- it was seriously like movie. At night our friend took us to all the great tapas bars and the local hub- hazzah no tourists ;) Prepare to be bombarded with photography as this morning we visited Alhambra! This beautiful palace, that was built for the Muslim eris back in the 14th century, stands on a hill and overlooks Granada. We spent hours frolicking around Alhambra and loved every second of it, even if we were hungover and dead from the night before. Also the weather is hot here- all you Melbourne kids will be hating us right now- as we kick back with our 35 degrees and constant sun- it is overwhelming since we just came from Holland, but by god, i have missed the sun!
