This little adventure sees me off to the E.U. for just over two months. What am I doing over there you ask?.....Did you really? I hope not. It's not my first time in Europe, no, I spent three months over there in 2009. Now I'm back, and there's projects to finish...
My itinerary is something like this...
So I fly out of the Gold Coast airport. Early on a Sunday morning.... (thanks to whichever poor sucker drops me down there...) Gotta love budget AirAsia...
And arrive in London, where I have carefully chosen a suitable hostel (something with over 400 beds and a bar downstairs) to base myself for four nights.
Of course there's a layover in Malaysia, Kuala-Lumpur, the AirAsia world hub. I'll pick up some raybans, a pair of havaianas. Then catch a wink to recover from a 9 hour flight and prepare for a 13 hour flight. Sweet.
Then Athens, the gateway to Kalymnos... I've been here before, but I missed the National Archieological Museum. So I'll look at some old stuff before flying (yeah I know, I messed up the ferry timing and would of had to wait three days. Not when there's climbing to be done) to Kaly, bussing to Massouri and hassling some Greeks for a cheap six weeks accomodation.
Ahhh little Kalymnos, too big to climb it all.
The water really is this clear, and yes, there is deep water soloing.
The climbing is world class. I'd like to tick 'Daniboy' the most popular 8a on the island, as well plenty of 7c and 7c+'s. Some 7b on-sights would go a treat also. Better bring my best game.
Finally, on to Paris. Must see attractions include baguettes and Euro Disney Land. I may have been here before.. It will be cold.
But that means good friction at font ! After a trip to Castle hill in May this year, I have a soft spot for the boulders. What sort of trip would be complete without a few days on the bloc. Fontainebleau, tres bien, we.
My flight leaves in 14 hours, I haven't packed yet. My camera is broken and I can't find the charger. I think I'd better stop stressing over this blog and chill out with some quality Air Crash Investigation.
Stay tuned, it's gunna be swell.
