a rare photo of me and kat and my dad, hadnt seen him for almost 15 years.
and you complain about the state of public buses australia, mmm russia style

Mega mac. now that really cant be good for you. 
if you order a english breakfast in turkey you will get this. pretty much as far from a real english breakfast ever. it looks almost healthy
little mongolian boy saying whats up...
the kitten chasing crickets. it did this all day.
your girlfriend would look like this also if you had been on a train for 2 days then get to the hostel at 7am to find no one there to let you in!!!
thought i'd get some reading in and was somewhat distracted. mongolian outback!
again with the distractions...
windy place indeed.them camels in the bak were rather weird to ride.

Here are some random trip pics, in no order at all.  enjoy and hope everyone is well.

went to a nice beach in venice, where the streets were all water, the streets and water was nice, but the beach was a building site and shithole!!
cut throat shave in turkey, i didnt barter him as i didnt want to piss him off before he held a razor to my throat.
remember these when you are a kid, like put 50 cents in and get a ball or lollies or something cool. Well.....
This one had g strings.. u know when u leave the house with out your g string on accidently and u can be all.. its cool i'll grab one when i get to the city.. lol

Im not going to even comment on this, my old house mate dion would have a field day with this one..lol
just about 10 bux australian, and sold in regular supermarkets in croatia..
we were in croatia months ago, we now dont own a single thing in that pic except the clothing, and the clothes line. not the car, tent, cooker, burners anything.. oh the joys.
Croatia an amazing place.
Tourist wank shot, such a good campsite.
not many too choose from.
kat with sun flowers as tall as her.
mmm a fun arvo anyone. wake boarding the way it sholud be. 
or rafting down a river for 4 hours, drinking beers and relaxing. not the toughest looking of rafts, thanks to seve but fun nonetheless
i look disgusted as i think seve just drank the last beer and we are miles from a bottlo and on a river.
so i venture off to find beer
asking this small swiss boy, he paddled off in fear, not sure why really, the language barrier or maybe a big tattood weirdo asking if he has any beer?
best bbq in a long time. i miss tims bbq's
not sure if i could get this through customs.
me waiting for kat to view ANOTHER church, i just wait at the bottom of the stairs now.. lol
we seen some pretty crazy art by famous guys who's names i remember from art at school. seeing these pieces in real life is kind of wasted on a person like me, as i have no interest or maybe take for granted what im seeing, sorry to all u art lovers who would love to see them. but too me that just look good, or not good.
good
not good
i think not good, but kat says its famous and should be good.
other people agree with kat also
not good
good
good
see ya

RUNNING OF THE BULLS!!!!!

the running of the bulls is every morning for 7 mornings. i tried to find out as much as i could thinking it would help me. i was directed to the rules of the run... here they are... mmmmm?
matt and i were going to run together, he slept in as we had to be up at 5am. im pretty sure the san gria he drank the night before had something to do with it.
2000 ppl and upto 7 bulls and 5 steer all run into this little door to the bull ring.
they leave these pens. then its 850metres to the bull ring.
up this first hill.. they can get to about 23mph on an uphill, and there horns can be upto 110cms from horn to horn across ways.
the happy couple the day before i shitted my pants and ran faster than i ever have in my life.
it wasnt very crowded on opening day at midday.
run like the wind...... ohhhh shit.

before they run they clear the course and ppl get there early to watch the 
these guys are not to be messed with, if you are holding anything at all they will pull u out and no running for you, about 400 ppl a day are pulled out early before the run.
these guys seem to be needed, not really sure why.. lol.
run run  run run run run 
the runners that get to the bullring are stuck in there for about 30 minutes when they let out 6 smaller bulls, they have there horns tapped but are still damn big and scary, they then toss people round like ragdolls for the amusement of the crowd
this guys in trouble
they run out of here and ppl crouch down and get jumped over.... fun indeed.
spot me im the one in the white 
this is gonna hurt the next day
then the big steer comes out and collects his small bull friend. the steers were daaaamn big, huge and they had big un tapped horns.. damn
ouch
run fat boy run...
out comes another one.
when u gotta go you gotta go
i will post footage asap

proof is in the pudding, caught a trout. yay for me
a wee light house. 
this is the house in the south of france we have stayed at a fair bit, thanks dad and maggie. it is in a tiny village, no shops, no bars, no nothing, the nearest place to buy food is about 5kms away. not much to do here but fish, relax, sleep, read. perfect!!!
this was cool to see. and me, always good to see.. lol
hamburger and chips in france, mmmmm not really the same as at home
those were the days. just found this on the computer.
if you got 3 kids and wanted to go into this shop there may be trouble.
possibly not deep enough to dive.
this looked like fun, but the possibility of doing a shallow dive from that hight may not have worked too well...
biggest of bens.
this is me, on the train inthe car from england to france, about to drive 16 hours or so in a day.
getting onto the train in a car, bit weird
the line up for the london eye was pretty short!!!!

ireland.

in ireland they made the titanic, it was made in a dry dock which we saw, it was damn damn big, this is how much of the boat was out the top of the dry dock.. they didnt really focus on what happened when it left ireland. kind of like when someone says when it left here it was fine, not in there water not there fault.
more we are the biggest and the best.
amazing....lol
this is the dry dock they used, they float the boat in, drain the water, then can work on the boat from underneath. this was huge, crazy indeed.
this shows how damn big the boat would have been. it was also in 1911.

deryy is the town where the sunday bloody sunday massacre took place.u2 sang a song about it. it was a weird feeling beeing here. these houses had some pretty amazing murals on them, some 3 stories high.
pretty up front and honest, dont mess with anyone from northern ireland.








the buildings from a far.
sometimes i do things which arent meant to be done, like touch things in museums or sit in the head honchos chair at parliament. this took some convincing for kat to take the pic.
oh yeah!
this was pretty damn windy and hella high, we jumped over a fence to get a better look.
they are in the movie "a princess bride" such a good flick. get it and watch it!!!
just some lunch at an old church, pretty epic place.
kats birthday, and relaxing with some beers.
went to the jamesons factory, kat was a taster for the day, rather fun, and a few free drinks also.
a kebab, with the longest bits of meat ever.
and i was on security camera whilst ordering, what the hell is someone going to do, steal a kebab?

something from left field.

i bought a lomo fisheye camera and used it too see how the pics turned out. the camera is super basic and i wondered if the pics would even work. i was pleasently suprised. it has a view of 170 degrees.
