Crapping on a yak.....overland to the other side of the world and the rest

This is the story of my 32 week London to Sydney overland trip on a big orange truck with 30 odd other people.....and what happens after.. I try to find the best pizza in the world. I test the limits of endurance of my T-shirts in the hunt for the most bizarre location in which to bump into a fellow fan of the band 'The Fall'. Slightly more successfully, I try to take a guitar to as many of the world's monuments as I can. Finally, I confront the greatest cultural divide of them all...toilets.

Day six - 07 August 2009 Vienna

Vienna is an haze of architectural delights, and I actually weary of turning another corner to find another stunning historical design. I start to think that it could only help if there was the occasional tacky ill conceived modern bu

ilding to relieve the monotony of brilliance.

I meet up with Bibiana, my Slovakian ex, who is very quiet initially, but seems to liven up when I buy her a coke. Afternoon sight-seeing became quite fun.

It must be said that Vienna is a very expensive city. Looking at shop windows I saw a pair of trainers advertised at €379, and a casual jacket at €979. I can’t even remember seeing prices like it anywhere in London.
