Maybe I'm not the geek I thought I was... or maybe it's not actually geeky... who knows? But it's fun!

A crazy trip to Germany

When booking my flights from Ibiza to Paris I stumbled across some cheap flights I couldn't resist so I decided to book a flight to Frankfurt for a day!!! So I took Marco with me and we flew across the channel to the mainland. After realising it would take too long to get the bus into Frankfurt we decided to hire a car. The cheapest option was an Opel (Holden) - which we didn't want! So the second cheapest was to get a Daihatsu Copen hard top convertible... which was pretty cute really! For specs click here.

Since we had a car we could go wherever we wanted, and luckily Marco knew how to drive on the right side of the road! So we drove to the Rhine and followed the coast up to Koblenz and looked at the beautiful countryside along the way, there were many castles and a really cool bridge that is probably famous!

Lunch was much cheaper than in England which was a nice relief! We looked at a few shops then headed south towards Cocham where we stopped for a nice walk and a beer. The beer in that country was amazing!! I do love German wheat beer. For some reason all the beer went down so easily that day! Lucky I wasn't driving!

Being careful of time we headed back through Traben-Trabach almost getting lost and having to ask a local for directions to the airport!! For a full trip route see here. But it did take ages to get out of the airport when arriving back to Stansted, I realised why people don't generally go to a country for just one day!!! But I did have some good luck though and got my full visa back in my passport for no cost at all... yay!!

I LOVE ENGLAND!!!

The Bluetones

Last Friday I set off for a pleasant evening at Koko, a venue which never ceases to please me! You can see the performers pretty much wherever you are and don’ t feel too far away, and there are three bars. This time I was lucky enough to have two tickets to see indie quartet the Bluetones. After guests Welsh band Hot Puppies and the electro sounds of Eugene Machine we were blessed with the presence of Mark Morriss and co. Adams apparently had fallen off a ladder and opted to spending the evening playing guitar sitting down! He's below on the right.

The was a great mix of new and old songs to keep the die-hard fans pleased as well as lots of pumping songs for dancing and a little bit of that dangerous crowd surfing! But had an chilled night out as I spent the evening drinking in the stalls. We stayed for Club NME for a while and the music was great! Then there was a surprise band that came on and played about an hour into club NME, I still haven't found out who they were. Koko is awesome!
