Travelling.

I was in the mood for writing, and reading discussions of people here. A new column but this simply wouldn't fit.

As some of you will know, I went travelling over summer. It was one of the best experiences that I have ever had in my life. I came back after a week in the Netherlands; four of those in Hoofdorpp, near Amsterdam, the other 3 at LAN playing with enhanced. I came back home on the 6th of July, and on the 10th I would fly out again to Prague, visit various countries, and share great experiences for 28 days. I had six great companions, some I was not close to at the time and am now, one I learnt to love.

What sort of experiences did we encounter? We translated rough broken german and english into a plan to save us walking 8KM with our rucksack in Balaton. We also spent a night there in a lake-side hut and slept through a huge storm that went on all night. We ran for a train to Vienna is Krakow. We got ushered off a train in the [flag=cz Czech Republic], after almost getting left in Ostrava. We slept in Rome's train station. We crammed into train corridors in an attempt to get 3 hours sleep. I walked around Paris for four hours in an attempt to see all the main sights. Desperate, tired times for all 7 of us. But the fondest of memories, and with €30 a day we were poor too.

I met up with DanL, Overboost, V1ech, Wesbo on my travels too, as I have discussed in a column.

The meaning of this post? I want to travel. England is cold and grim. I also want other people to tell me their travelling dreams. Where they have been, their memories. All of these should be cherished.
