Will be a solid two months on the road. Looking very much forward to it, particularly a few day spent at Oktoberfest in Munich, which will be absolutely amazing!
The bloke im doing the whole trip with is a friend of mine named Ole. I met him just over a year ago while i was working at the Jetty Bar, he is from Hamburg, and we was travelling in a van across Australia with a friend. We became really good friends and i am looking very much forward to catching up with him again in a few weeks. I'm leaving him in charge of finding accommodation for Oktoberfest, its pretty late and a lot of the places are booked out, but we will see how we go!
Another highlight of the trip will be visiting Auschwitz Concentration Camp in Oświęcim, a town a few hours drive from Krakow. Being of Polish and German descent and being very interested in modern history, this will be something that will interest me greatly.
Another thing i am looking at doing with this trip is packing as lightly as i can, through asia, i found myself lugging a load of things that i was never going to use. I am hoping to be able to fit everything into my smaller backpack and carry that around with me. This will mean of course, i will be making frequent trips to the laundromat, but i will save big on not having check baggage when i go to the airport. Going to be interesting to see how i function only being able to carry what i can squeeze in my bag. Be a challenge.
I'd better update you guys on the riots, they've settled down around where i am in Hollingbourne, the towns either side of mine both had some trouble, maidstone had mobs roaming the streets, but i didn't hear of any damage. As for Chatham, they had a few arrests and a couple cars set alight.
Its all slowed down now, Which is great, police have threatened to cancel the first round of the English Premier League. No one wants that.
