tays' year in review (Antipodes & Europe, 65 pics)

The year I finally got to get out of the sticks.



ponying it up a bit in South Yarra.





my new cam sucked when in motion.



January 24th, Melbourne, ambient temperature 36 degrees.



January 25th, London, ambient temperature -2 degrees.







Edinburgh.





First time I'd ever seen snow with my own eyes



Get some Glasgow into your diet.



Flat 1F3, 2 Rossie Place, EH7 5SG, United Kingdom, Europe, Earth, Sol, Milky Way.



No, I'm not back in Australia:



P.A.R.I.S.







Back to Edin-bog.





Good town nevertheless though:





Scousers love it



England's biggest tourist trap outside London, York - the original.





In Scotland, when you live in a tenement (see pic after this) - you actually live 'up a stair' - note lack of plural.



Tays Manor - bay window, 1st above the chemist, 26 stairs to get to it.



Big blighty







I waved to betty, yes I did.



a week between the above and this, thanks to Royal Bank of Scotland for the business class in economy seat (who said the scots weren't tight?) flights:



Dubrovnika... on 15 minutes sleep.



Bravo Bravo





Good pivo.



Rijeka.



Grüß aus Berlin.



It's no Champs-Élysées but, it's still sehr schön









Back to the city of cities.







Oooh, French skyscrapers.



Ponying it up a bit in Chelsea.



The land of guiness, shamrocks and the shittest PT in europe.









I'll be completely honest now, I only went to Dublin, because this view only cost me 99p:



Edinburgh, getting there.



Spot the Canadian from cowtown via Montreal, Glen Coe.



Crazy Glaswegian.



Isle of Skye



Nessy Spotting



You know when the Edinburgh festival starts, the prices go up - rip off (remember, that's in Sterling - approx $24)



Last look at blighty



Home.



Swish new plasmas that still don't work.



Home Sweet Home - for the moment.



But it's like I haven't left Europe?





Record breaker. 50,333 Melbourne Victory vs Sydney FC - largest domestic soccer match attendance ever in Aus.



Drought.



END.
