Down Under!
Posted Jul 31, 2004
I've just arrived in Sydney airport en route to Auckland, so that's the most gruelling leg of the journey over. Found a free internet point, which is a fantastic innovation. It's 6.20 in the morning here, but the jet lag seems all right.
You just want to stop and look around, but I've still got another flight. Can't wait to tell the truth.

Snow

It's snowed! 
It snowed all yesterday afternoon and in the night and the world's all dressed in white, though perhaps not as much as you might like

My local run is taking place on October 4th again this year. So as usual I've been dragging out my running shoes and preparing for the last year I'm eligible for the 5,000m race. So far the training's been going pretty well with a 5k run on Sunday in 20:02, which is about tandard for me. My personal best being 19:00, but that was in a race, which means a nice lot of adrenaline helping you along.

Exams!
Posted Jun 17, 2003
I had my first end of year exam on monday. Luckily it was English, on Catcher in the Rye, that wasn't too hard. I had Maths today and though it was long it wasn't too difficult either. But tomorrow I have German and Biology exams, which are another matter. They're probably the most difficult. After that there's only Physics, Chemistry and Dutch, which shouldn't be too difficult. I'm just hoping I'll be OK tomorrow.

Barcelona
Posted Apr 23, 2003
I'm back from my trip to Barcelona so here's a list of the things I reccomend other people to go and see.
- Piccaso Museum, this has a huge collection of his works from when he was just 8.
- Miro Museum, a museum with lots of interesting paintings and it also contains various temporary exhibitions.
- Park Guël, a park with lots of things designed by the architect Gaudi.
- Sagrada Familia, this is an unfinished cathedral also designed by Gaudi. It has extremely interesting architecture and stone work.
- Casa Batló and La Pedrera, these are two Gaudi designed houses on the main street in Barcelona - Las Ramblas.
- The Maritime Museum, this large museum is built in Barcelonas ship yards and tracks the history of fishing and sailing through to the modern day.
Of course another of the wonderful things about Barcelona is just to walk around it. You'll find interesting bits of architecture scattered everywhere.
