05 - Trains & Monuments
Hi Everyone, This one is a bit shorter than the last two. I've mostly been travelling. Went from London to Lille, France. Rented a car, 2-door Fiat standard transmission - just my size ;). Took the car to see Vimy Ridge and Tyne Cot Cemetery . It was very moving to stand in those places and to take it all in. After just one sleep in Lille, I was off on the trains again heading towards Brussels in Belgium. Here now in my Brussels hostel I have the free time to catch you

04 - London, UK - Part 2
Hi Everybody, Today was another early day for me. Started by visiting the Sky Garden + Lounge at the top of 20 Fenchurch Street. Afterwards I decided to take a walk in the famous Hyde Park.

02 - Leaving on a Jet-plane
Hi Everyone! The day has finally arrived. I'm sitting here in Calgary airport having successfully gotten this far. Kamloops to here was relatively uneventful after my wonderful mom & dad dropped me off - love you guys. Figured y'all would like to hear from me, so here it is... my Europe 2024 adventure has finally begun! Just a short 8 hour and 40 minute flight to go. By Ozzy standards that's a blink of an eye :). Anyway, I hope you all stay tuned and are looking forward
