The Tourist

What!!! Who made this blog and didn't tell me? Just kidding, that's my lame excuse for updating it. Well I've got broadband in my tiny London flat now so look out this blog is gonna get burning like vindaloo. A lot has happened since the last main post, I've been through 11 countries (including driving through 5 in one afternoon). So I thought I'd put some quick highlights of my travels over the last month or two (in no particular order).

• Bangkok's mixture of crazy atmosphere and peaceful people.
  
• Island life in Malaysia, the sound of waves over the hum of an conditioner.
  
• Oli Kahn walking on to the pitch of the Allianz Arena to his own theme song (Bayern Munich vs FC Cologne).
  
• Lake Como, the most beautiful lake ever, as if any one can know that Napoleon.
  
• Driving through the imposing Brenner Pass at 150kph (Austria to Italy).
  
• Hitting 200Kph on a German autobahn in a little French car.
  
• La Brigue, the little French village I stayed in for a week, the gallery speaks for itself.
  
• Being admidst the craziness of Juventus fans in the Stadio Delle Alpi during the Champions League Quarter final with Arsenal.
  
• Driving through falling snow in March (in a 2 wheel drive car with no chains, oops).
  
• Trying to tell a french car rental company that it wasn't my fault the side mirror fell off.
  

If you haven't yet found out, I've been updating my photo galleries lots since I left so have a look (Wazza, I used iWeb to create the galleries from iPhoto = best and quickest thing ever). As for upcoming news, I'm going to Germany for a wedding on the 3rd June then overnight training to Rotterdam for the Socceroos vs Holland!!! Don't get me started on the World Cup, I'll get too excited.

Anyway, eat up all your meat based foods and while you're at it email me at dave at davebangay.com.
