Killing time today

Killing time today - cricket

Some say that cricket is a dull sport. On most occasions I would disagree... Cricket is a gentleman's sport and watching someone you know play can be very entertaining. It also allows you an emotional pipeline into the game - you get excited when they bowl a wicket, or make a great catch or hit a four! It's exciting.

Watching on an international level is wicked too!! In the past 3 months I have had some great times with some great girls, watching australia play ODI's and Twenty20 matches. It's just the culture of it- you get pulled into it. The beer, the wine, the food, the cheers, the Mexican waves, the beach balls flying about and getting confiscated by security. It really is just a great time.

Why don't the local leagues pick up there game a little. Haha.

I'm sitting here with my best friend Alysha (such an awesome chick I'll have to dedicate a whole post to how much I love and respect that chick - watch this space) watching her boyfriend Matt play the grand final match... Yes I may be blogging at the same time but that is entirely irrelevant. The first time made 180 runs... It's time to chase boys.

Up the mighty redbecks!!

Euro Adventures Pt 16 - Wild Boar Panini's and a Relaxing Afternoon in Roma

Another day another dollar - oh wait...I don't have to go to work today. Haha. We have another drive day today to get to Rome - our last stop in Italy before getting into Greece and the Greek Islands. It was about 4-5 hours from Florence to Rome and we had an early lunch stop at a little town called Orvieto. It was a beautiful little town except for one fact - it was on the absolute top of a mountain - making it very had to take over in war and times of unrest. Noddy told us that the last person to conquer Orvieto was Julius Caesar - she also told us that they were famous for their porchetta panini's (wild boar rolls)... We had to try one. Being a town on a giant cliff face we had to catch a strangle little train/carriage thing from the bottom to the top. We then had a very steep walk up to the town centre - Orvieto also had a Duomo that looked like a liquorice all-sort on one side. We had some free time so some of the group went to do a tour of the underground tunnels of th...

Euro Adventures Pt 1 - Catch ya Aus

The adventure has officially begun. A cruisey 3 hour drive up to Sydney and we are on our way - well almost. It's waiting time, 4 hours in an airport (any airport) is never going to be a barrel of laughs. But we are surviving... With a little help from our friend T-minus one hour until boarding. Can't wait to begin this incredible adventure with one of my best friends. Oh the places we will go, the people we will meet, the food we will eat, the awesome stuff we will do!!!! We are beyond excited. I am just going to use this blog as a reminder of all the amazing things we do, see, and experience. I do not want to miss a minute of it! Our itinerary: London Paris Swiss Alps Avignon Barcelona French Riviera Venice Florence Rome Athens Sailing for 3 days! Mykonos Athens London for a week ❤️

Euro Adventures Pt 19 - Sailing The Days Away, Greek Islands Style

Waking up on a ferry is a very surreal feeling... It was a very hot and very small cabin we were in and the boat was very softly humming. Weird! But at least we were closer to arriving in Greece - how exciting!! Our Topdeck tour is coming to its end and its very bittersweet, good, because I'm looking forward to getting home and sad, because I've been lucky to meet some amazing people. At least we had the three days of sailing together and partying in Mykonos to look forward to. We tried to have a little bit of brekkie on the ship before we disembarked but I wasn't feeling the best so I passed. Noddy gathered us all together and collected our keys and we made our way to the exit of the boat... Man! Greek people are pushy!! So pushy! We were all waiting for the same exit and everyone pushed past us. Hopeless. But we finally got out and looked over the beautiful coastlines of Greece. Wow. Just stunning. The ocean alone made the 15 hour ferry ride worth it. We had a short 20 mi...
