Hello one and all contrary to popular belief we are still alive and well. Sorry about the long pause in updates, tinternet access has been a bit of an issue so we've only popped on a couple of times to check email and book hostels. I'm afraid this is only a short one as we have to go out and get breakfast and get on with the day. We'll see if we can get some pictures and what not uploaded soon, but these computers appear to be locked down so might be a little while yet. For those that have lost our progress, we are now in Berlin, Germany having been to Solvorn in northern Norway, Oslo (again) and Copenhagen, Denmark since the last blog! Hope everyone is well, cheerio ta ta for now! xx
. . . hello from Amsterdam, today we went to the Heineken Experience where we got the chance to see how a beer bottle lives. Looked awesome! Lots of rattling, zipping around conveyer belts, and then wiggling into boxes where you get to sleep for a while, then you get cracked open to momentarily enjoy the party before getting tipped down some drunkards throat, awesome no?

Anyways Amsterdam is rather nice, and the weather hasn't let us down with lots of sunshine again! Its very scenic here with lots of old buildings and such like. Tomorrow we go to Bruges in Belgium for a few days before finishing off the trip in Paris hopefully including a trip to Euro Disney! For those that are familiar with the planned route you may have noticed a few changes, we were supposed to finish in Amsterdam but accomodation has been a bit troublesome.
Anyways that'll have to be all, internet time is heavily limited here, see you all very soon - only 9 days left I think . . .cheerio ta ta
This is just a quick one to let you know I've added in the photos from our last day in Dorset. We went to National Trust Montacute House which was only about 20 minutes away from the cottage. The sun came out shortly after we arrived which was nice and gave us a good chance to have a walk around the gardens and into the field just beyond the house.

Sadly the weather didn't last and shortly after we had entered the house it begain to pour with rain. We had a good walk about the rooms including a hunt for the writing that had been etched into some of the window panes in the library and a walk along the long gallery with art from the National Portrait Gallery. It was still raining when we had been around the house, so we got a bit wet on the way back to the car. We had decided to head off today rather than in the morning so that we could get a lie-in tomorrow. The journey home was pretty good with fairly minimal traffic getting home just after 8.30. Enjoy the photos!
