Surf’s up! 21 February, 2008 at
12:19 am
..in a CouchSurfing kind of way. I’ve had a few CouchSurfers contact me recently about meeting up in Sydney, and met one of them (with other surfers in tow) at the Slip Inn this evening. I haven’t had dinner there in ages – it seems they don’t do a $5-ish menu these days, but the food prices aren’t too bad. It did make me feel ‘homesick’ for my old apartment just across the road, but speaking to some travelers has perhaps rekindled some traveling spirit – a reminder of the reason I left that apartment in the first place: to go and see the world. I should be at least starting to plan my return to London later this year.
I’ve reminded myself also that I’d really like to see Kruder & Dorfmeister at the Playground Weekender festival early next month. Anyone already planning on, or interested in, going?

Rome, Vatican City, Venice, Osoppo (near Udine)… places I have been, if only for a short while, in Italy.
I’ve just made the last of my Europe photos (London since the birthday visit to Denmark) available in my Gallery. Unfortunately I have nothing from my visit to Austria or the stopover in Vietnam, thanks to my camera being stolen!
Anyhow, Italy was the starting point for my trip to Europe. Having only spent about a day and a half in each of Rome and Venice, though, the experience was a little glossed over! No matter, it seems a nice enough place to want to go back to. I’d like to visit Pompeii some day as well.
The food was pretty good in Italy. I’d eat some more of that! :o)
