    Have a great one Kelz
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    Blardy hell. Do you have time to breathe?

    If you get the opportunity, have some spare days do do things that pop-up, like a museum or a shop...(Hamley's toy shop? 8 floors of fun! = 1/2 a day!)

    Take heaps of piccies and keep us updated!

    When you get to Heathrow,no you havn't taken a wrong turning and found yourself in the bin shed,that really is the airport and it really is that disgusting.
    Shame you cant get further South West than Bristol,best part of the country.
    Have fun,sounds like a great trip.

    An awesome sounding trip. Edinburgh is excellent for going on the piss. You are bound to enjoy yourself, and make the credit cards melt. In the UK buy Monster Munch chippies - best in the world, especially pickled onion flavour.

    When you're in Amsterdam if you see teenagers dressed like prostitutes and someone sidles up and offer to sell you some drugs you're probably in the red-light district,if it happens in London you're probably outside of a school at home time.
    If you see someone in London walking like a woman,dressed like a woman but with a moustache it's probably a gay guy,see the same thing in Spain and it's someone's mother.
