7:25 pm	valencia and free five star accomodation So its my last night of 3 staying in Valencia with this Aussie chef dude called Ben. He´s pretty much busy all the time, so gave me and Masha a key, and free entry to his apartment (and fridge!) for however long we wanted..lets see..city centre, views onto the Palau de Musica (basically looks like the Sydney Opera House..we took photos pretending it was our helmet), swimming pool and doormen, twenty minute walk from the beach. And free of course. Fuck this trip is working out amazingly. My tan is going awesome, all thats left of hospital memories is some bruises, and fuck the food has been amazing! Tomorrow heading to Granada where I will make some major changes to my face, and make more friends in hostels and go to a tea house and drink tea whilst sitting on a Persian carpet. After that I´m in Portugal for a couple weeks...and its only 30 days until i get to see my Rocket again!! We were in Barcelona for a couple nights which was awesome, stayed out til seven thirty in the am the first night, after still being completely tired from our night out dancing with the locals in Perpignan. Our hosts were South American boys and extremely touchy feely and in love with us, but hey, you get that. Ouch my face feels hot. Here are some photos from my trip. Mainly me posing out.

[IMG]http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a383/lidiabier/DSC05920.jpg[/IMG] Then I met my friend Kat in Perpignan and felt the need to pose out, due to tan and leopard print I think.

12:29 pm	WORLD CUP 2006! Something in my cold, cold, sports hating heart melted last night when Australia won the penalty shootout and all the soccer players took their tops off and ran around...Jax and I screamed, high fived, hugged and generally carried on about how much fun we're gonna have on our Euro tour '06 sitting in pubs with Aussies and watching Australia vs whomever games on a big screen TV. What the fuck?!!?!? I think Brendan's mad soccer lust may have infiltrated us to an unhealthy and sick degree. And we took a walk into the city that night, me sporting my massive baby pink Adidas trackies and observed the mad wogs goin fully sick in the city, also running around with no tops on. And someone took a photo of Stumpy and said he was "World Cup Dog". Yes. Anyway its way too sunny to be on the computer, so I'm going to fold out my aqua blue banana lounge in the backyard, close the doors and blinds, stick the sign Jax made on the door (It says "please knock before coming outside, I'm sunbaking topless."), and get stuck into my Murukami book which is so far the best one I have ever read. If anyone wants to come observe my sunburn tonight, Jacs, myself and others are going to QnA...oh yeah and a biiiig biiiig karaoke night will be occurring next Thursday, possibly at Charltons followed by Dallas Bar. Not the stripper part. I'm going to eat some prunes also. (Comment on this)

10:54 pm	So I somehow found myself in Hungry Jacks last night after Back In the Day and struck up a random conversation with the girl sitting at the table next to us about serial killers. We're going to go and see Wolf Creek together next week. I'm so good at making friends! Karaoke on Friday was aceness, and no one got stabbed at Sen Bar. Seeing people from work belting out tunes in the worst voices ever makes for totally interesting shifts the next day. Jacqueline and my rendition of You Give Love a Bad Name will go down in history, and James and my version of I Got You Babe was totally romantic. I'm sleepy and have no voice. (Comment on this)

12:58 pm	http://www.myspace.com/petra_k Croatian soap stars on Myspace...what next. This girl was in an awesome soap called Forbidden Love (Zabranjeni Ljubav) and was totally smacked out most of the time...and now she's my Myspace friend! I have vip connections for next time I go. (Comment on this)
10:12 am	so im ready to get back into the swing of melbourne finally... so, I'm looking forward to exploring all the things that have opened/changed/exploded whatever since Ive been away. First on my list. Urban Burger. They have 4 different veg burgers and one is even called vegan something or the other...just finding out about the chips now... So if anyone has any suggestions of things to have a look at or wants to come eat a burger with me, get in touch! Being back at Wallis is all at once the weirdest thing ever but also the most comfortable, tis like I never left. Extreme karaoke at the Great Brit is not very extreme at all. Any suggestions of good karaoke places? (10 Comments |Comment on this)

11:08 pm	so back in melbourne town and still feeling pretty shell shocked and having a veeerry difficult time adjusting. I'm going to STA on Tuesday and booking my flight back to Europe, I think it will be the middle of May but I will probably stay away about 4 months this time, if not more. I have nothing really to say, thanks to everyone who came out for dinner yesterday and back to my place after that....a vast quantity of various alcohol (including bambus, the traditional Croatian drink of red wine and cola, which was drunk out of a pickle jar) was polished off and I think I broke some glass to get that Motley Crue poster from out front of Vodafone arena cos Im real scratched up and hurty. Photos soon. Im tired. (5 Comments |Comment on this)

1:45 am	Leaving Croatia was much, much harder than I thought...and that had nothing to do with my 17 kilos of excess baggage or Australian customs throwing out a kilo and a half of ready to eat vegan cheese I tried to smuggle across the border. Cunts. I wish I could pick up my life here and drop it in the middle of fucking Garesnica and stay there forever. I'm back at Wallis next Tuesday, earning the money to take me back there with a few quick stops, possibly including South East Asia, Japan and definitely many regions of Europe on the way. Until then Im attempting to detox and shift the happyfun summer kilos I put on overseas and also simultaneously avoid eating the vegan goodies I brought back with me, including but not limited to vegan nutella, syrup waffles and soy whipped cream in a can. These are two of my several cousins in Croatia, and me. Goran, Lidia and Maja. I miss them the most. Why did the ridiculously tall and good looking genes in the family skip me? I have more pictures but need to sit down and host them on photobucket...ones great, its me doing metal fingers to a Croatian coverband playing Highway to Hell in an empty hall.

6:03 pm	bbrrrbrbrbrb Its fucking 10 degrees in Zagreb. This means its time to go home. And with $7000 left in the travel kitty, Im booking my ticket the very week I get in...only this time I'll actually venture out of the motherland. So, summer in Australia, another summer in Europe and back in time for summer 2006 in Australia again, and anyone knowing my abhorrence of winter knows just how delightful this is to me! Cant wait to get back though, home sickness has sorta kicked in, desire for my own bed instead of floor mattresses of varying comfort, the taste of broccolli which is a very hard to find produce here and when i did find it, it was manky. And everyone back home.... Having a goodbye slash birthday party on Friday jamming all my friends into Majas apartment and forcing them to listen to Belinda Carlisle and Poison (god knows I know all the words to the cro pop hits so they better fucking like it!) and shoving vegan brownies down their throats...my plan is to so entirely kill myself over the weekend that I sleep the entire 24 hour plane flight home, even sleepwalking the parts where I change plans and eating my vegan packaged airplane meal whilst snoring. And the whole motley crew of them are coming to the airport with me, ohhhh but there will be tears, yes there will be tears...dreading it. Having a welcome back birthday dinner on the 1st October at Enlightened Cuisine near Crown Casino. Give Jarod a yell if you dont know about it and want in. Back In The Day after..beware that my presence there has more likely than not been sorely missed over these last 3 months and I will have no choice whatsoever but to amuse and delight all patrons by shaking my arse like a madwoman and spilling drinks all down my top. You should probably be there to take photos. xoxoxox (2 Comments |Comment on this)

7:11 pm	Just got back from a whirlwind tour of Paris, France. It was everything I thought i would be and heaps heaps fucking more! If only I had more time...but Im positively positive I will be returning next year to do it all again. Eiffel Tower, sick, Louvre, sick, Musee D'Orsay, sick, Notre Dame, sick. The Louvre is a 17km hike and I did it all!! But I did madly speed through parts...there was a mass crowd around the Mona Lisa but I still got a good peek, her eyes follow you around and she seems to turn her body to face you no matter where you are standing in the room. Creepy. Had my arm felt up by a greasy old Frenchmen with a twirly moustache and stripy shirt. Definite highlight "eh girly u like caffe?" and some Senegalese boys made me a friendship bracelet which they said would bring me "good jiggy jiggy boom boom". Burnt a hole in my credit card shopping at Sephora (jesus fucking christ on a cross how many cosmetics can they pack in there?) and Champs Elysee and La Fayette but would buy it all again if I had the chance. Ate lots of baguettes. The sex district has cinemas called SEXODOME and stuff. Too funny. We didnt get served in a cafe cos we couldnt speak le francais to their liking. I didnt see a single person wearing a beret. Versailles was the bomb diggity and Im thinking about moving there, even just camping on the grounds surrounding it and wandering around Napoleons mini palace next door during the night. And riding horses and bikes through the mazes. Stuff like that. Oh my god I just found out theres Sephora in Italy and Greece also. NO GOD NO! Now planning my trip to Athens and the Greek Islands (tan has faded and requires building up) and Rome and coastal Italy, Naples and the like. Its raining in Zagreb. Poo! Ive been emailing some Croatian punk kids the last couple of weeks and were meeting up this week to hang out and take me out to eat vegan food and see bands (apparently theres a Zagreb version of Los Crudos kicking around somewhere) and stuff so I cant wait!

8:55 pm	So Im back in Zagreb after a week spent in a teensy village with my fucking awesome cousin Maja. Had a pretty crazy weekend attending village styles birthday parties and the local disco which only played Cro pop songs..oh my god so funny. I danced with the hottest guy in the village and all the girls glared at me because I was the new and mysterious girl who dared to wear thongs to the disco and not cork wedges like everyone else. So hilarious. Im definitely going back to do it all again. Photos to come, I cannot explain hte hilarity of it all without photographic evidence. There was even a lamb on a spit. Tomorrow off to Paris. Im staying here 3 weeks longer due to my own stupidity and the several twists of fate that made me so stupid, but Im sure it will all be fully sick. Ill be back on the 27th September aka my birthday!!!!! xoxoxox (9 Comments |Comment on this)
