Well I finally got to go on a little trip to Europe, USA and Australia. On my trip I got to met up with people from the internet, a mate I havent seen in 10.5 yrs and to attend a friend's wedding. This is what happen on my trip. I left New Zealand with my friend Bev (dvine) and her daughter Chrissy!..... here is a picture of them at Christchurch airport waiting for our flight.
My first stop was in Germany!!!! I met up with a guy (Rince) from the channel #europe. We met at the airport. Rince was holding up a sign so I would know who he was. The sign read F.D.S (fluffy duck seeker). After Rince handed me the flowers he bought for me, we headed straight for McDONALDs!!!! My time in Germany was filled with a lovely hike up a mountain side to see a huge rock with a cross on it.... movie world....McDONALDs.... going to a greek restaurant....playing dices......McDONALDS...hmm and much more stuff .... take a look at some pics
Paris was my next stop ... Rince decided to tag along on this adventure. We caught a train , took 6 hours to get there. The sights along the way was great, got to see a little bit of Belgium, thru the windows, I was looking for a factory where they make that yummy Belgium chocolate.... anyway back to my time in Paris! First we needed to find the hotel we were staying at, and there just happen to be a McDONALDs, a few mintues walk from there:) Our time in Paris was spent mainly sight seeing and finding the place where Jimmy Morrison is buried, and eating at McDONALDs. Take a look at some photo's of my time in Paris!
Next Rince and I headed to Holland to visit a young man from #europe ..... PaMa and his lovely wife Turid. I had a great time, even tho I got dragged to the redlight area in Amsterdam.... all I have to say about that is, im not so innocent since I have been there. I got to see lots of windmills, go up a tower, eat these wee wee wee pancakes thingys. Also two people from #europe Nacht and Orlando both from Belgium, came to PaMa place to say Hi. Thanks heaps PaMa for spoiling me:)
Next stop was England, I was planning to meet the Queen for lunch, but instead I ended up having lunch with Rince and Wowee (wowee is another gang member from #europe). Rince and I only had a few hours in London so we wanted to make the most of it. We caught a bus and took in some sights around london. I got to see where the Queen lives :) Next we headed back to Heathrow Airport to met up with another #europe gang member Hazlenut. Once we found her, she took us to Gaffa and Mags place.... yes some more gang members. Well it was Friday night when we arrived, and yes it was a party night. Also at gaffa place was his Son Beachy and his wife Ang...... what a night of drinking (water), ircing, and chatting .... You didnt hear it from me, but Rince left his underwear under Mags kitchen table:) Oh and Hazlenut threw a bowl of cornflakes at me, thank god for Mags, she washed my top for me!!!!! AHHH Saturday night we headed down to the local pub for a ABBA show, I loved it so much. I just want everyone to know that Gaffa and I were the last one up drinking (water) :)!!!!!!
Sunday morning Rince and I head to Venice, Italy . Here we met up with some others from #europe (Hazlenut, Djc, Hobo, Rainer, Makwa, Dvine & Gig) It was just like meeting up with an old friend. We stay at a hotel and spent nearly a week together. Hmmm theses are some of the things that happen ...Dvine got drunk on Red Wine .... Hobo received some lovely scratch marks .... Rince left his clothes hanging on the stairs so everyone in the hotel could see them .... Hobo had his pants upzipped .... Djc and Gig locked Hazle and I out of their room ... sight seeing ....Hobo did some Limbo Rock .... played a game of mini golf .... hanging out at a beach ...Oh we just had so much fun fun fun .... Take a look
the beach ....... Venice ........ Dvine, Me, Gig &Hobo
After saying good bye to the #Europe gang, I headed for the USA!!!! I stayed with my friends from Truckee CA for 3 weeks. It was good to be able to see them again. Dvine met me back at my friend place for 4 days and then we headed to another #europe meeting at Coffee Creek ! Rasp picked Dvine and I up in Sacremento and he drove us to Coffee Creek. Along the way we had to go thru a bush fire. By the time we got their, Aclem was outside cooking us some chicken on the Barbie :) The following day, Aclem and I went to pick up Duckie .... Aclem took Duckie some flowers :) That night we had our own Coffee Creek Band. Following day it was time to say good bye :( Rasp took Dvine and I back to San Fransico. The following day, Dvine and I got to visit Alcatraz Prison. It was great to finally say i have been to Alcatraz:)
After a 14 hour flight from Los Angeles to Sydney Australia, Dvine and I was sick of airports and planes, but we still needed to catch one more flight to Brisbane. Our friend Mel and her future hubby was there to meet us. Was good to catch up with her and to meet her man. While we were in Oz, I got the chance to spend some time with my Uncle (havent seen him for 10yrs), and also i met up with my friend Shelley. (Shelley and I have been friends since she was 2 and I was was 3 yrs old ... we hadnt seen each other for 10.5 yrs) Shelley and I had a blast. We took Dvine to a club called the Loose Goose. All I have to say about that club is, those Aussie girls are quite Loose, so I guess they had no trouble naming it.
Following day was Mel Wedding!!!!! Dvine, Shelley and I spent some time with Mel and her family before she got married. After the wedding, Shelley and I decided to go to some clubs, as it was my last night of the trip. Dvine didnt want to come, so she went back to the hotel. Dvine said for us not to wake her up when we got home from clubbing , so Shelley and I didnt come home .... actually in the end, we woke up at the Best man house, not sure how that happen .... Must be that Aussie Beer!!!! Oh how sick Shelley and I was. Dvine took great pleasure at nursing us. Shelley was throwing up in the taxi as we were going to the airport. My head was so sore, all I wanted to do was sleep. Thanks so much Dvine :)
After being away from home, living out of a suit case, waiting at airports, sitting in planes for long hours, I was pleased to arrive back in Kiwiland. That only lasted for a day or two !
Thank you to all of those who help make this trip a trip of a life time.
