rewind a bit

Ok, so time to rewind just a tad, and get a few other things on here that I meant to post but got all lazy about. first thing is...dun dun dun...all the way back to Iceland, Christmas time and New Years. Or what I like to call the new years part, worst holiday ever, coinciding with New Years. Hah.

So, them last bits of Iceland. I had written half a post about it, but now it seems just too far gone to bother. We went to this place kind of near the airport that was a super thermal area, all smelly steamy and bubbly. Just for one last look around on our way to the airport. Anyway, I'll caption the photos and not bother here.

some rando houses just outside reykjavik 
claire and rory and me all jumped out to get the last pictures. woo houses!

And that is the end of that. Iceland. Fiiiiianlly right?

Moving right along...

Christmasssss. Man how awesome was this day! We had some friends come up from Brighton, and some others come over for the day too, so it was really lovely. Not really the warmth you guys in NZ would have been loving, but it was so fun anyway. Rory and me went and did a mass shop the day before, and even got a magnum of Moet for the day. Woop woop, feelin fancy. So Ellen and Simon brought up a leg of lamb, and my boss gave me this massive turkey, and after rubbing these two meats farrr too much and also having mine and Ellens hands inside the turkey at the same time (hah hah harrr it was kinda funny really) we managed to squish them both in our wee oven for the next 5 hours. And holy hell it was all so yummy. And most of the rest of the day was an awesome onesie filled drink fest (I got everyone onesies for presents, as you'll see in the photo) so that's about all I'll say about that. It was amaze. And Sam got me a remote for my camera too which is super awesdogs. Right, photos...

onesie rep

The Simpsons Castle ahoy Hi! Oban haha Otto the watchful dog Just turdsing up the beach... Looking for prawns Success!  Hey. Next destination please! We left for Scotland at 11 for the long drive north, following signs that actually said ‘The North’, which I thought was quite funny.   We drove past Sherwood Forest, which was near Robin Hood airport. Go robin hood.   We did get a flat tire which took about an hour to find a place to replace the back two, and luckily it was that close, there was a lot of driving where there was nothing for ages. Driving past ruined castles was pretty cool, just hanging on the side of the motorway. It seemed to start raining as soon as we went over the border haha, YAY! I   do like a bit of cloudy background. Also on the way in and out of Glasgow, they had these big signs above the motorways, the ones that generally say ‘WORKS AHEAD’ and all that, and they were saying things like, ‘why not car share?...

If you remember I came to Tarragona one other time, >AT CHRISTMAS< , when I was driving down the coast on my Christmas holidays.  Well this time we managed to find the amphitheatre, which juts so happened to be about 4 minutes from where we were staying for the night. Handy. Checked out a few  more of the old Roman buildings and walls and decided to stop for a niceee iced coffee. You do iced coffee? Yeah? Cool, two of them thanks. And what ...

We booked this place a 20 mins drive from Levanto which is on the coast and close to Cinque Terre. The temperature in the mountains is juuuuust that little bit more bearable wth motorbike gear on hahah. Intermission Last year Greer and I were going to stay in Riomaggiore which is the first of the 5 little villages of 'Cinque Terre'. I'd seen a picture of one of them on a bus, we thought we would go to Pisa, Florence and Riomaggiore for the week, and so I googled, 'how to say Cinque Terre'. Keep in mind this is a place in ...
