Nice legs on these birds! :) 
Britty loves horses, and she made a new friend that day. He didn't like me so much! 
This guy has a wig on. He was also running around like a chicken with his head cut off. 
A little taste of home.
"mmmm, I really need to cut these finger nails!!"
"Man, it was so much better in Madagascar"
Me and Britty in the zoo's forest. Was a nice walk.
Bremen is a city of 550 000 people. It is a nice city, which reminded me a little of Frankfurt, without the high rise buildings. Here are the pictures we took.
A look up the main shopping strip in Bremen toward the St Petri Dom, and City Hall.
Me standing in front of the very beautiful built Bremen City Hall. This area of the city is very nice, with shops, cafes, and heaps of places to sit in the autumn sun.
A closer picture of the St Petri Dom. This church is typical for Germany, with the Green roof that is usually the height of the skyline.
This statue was erected in 1404. This is Roland, Bremen's protector! I think he does a great job.
Britty and myself as usual decided to go to the top of bell tower. There were lots and lots of stairs, but the view was great. This was the cheapest Bell tower I have ever climbed. Only 1 Euro.
Inside the Church. Was nice, but not spectacular.
Me drinking a Becks, directly from the factory across the river! Very tasty.
The Becks factory. Unfortunately the tours are only on Thursday - Saturday! The Becks shop was however opened for business.
Somewhere in there they make the beer.
One of the smaller back streets of Bremen. A very pleasant atmosphere.
A long shot of the city. The trams where very long, most of them 4 long carriages long.
One pair of water proof pants, one water proof jacket (white), these from Karstat Sport. Two jumpers on the right hand side are from H&M.
I combined my black jumper with a Bennie that I bought over from Australia. It was a present from the KLM group a few Christmas back. I also was wearing some gloves that Britty's mum gave me. Very Warm.
Here is the beautiful Britty modelling my rain clothes for me. Looking good Britty! 
This is me in the second jumper. This one wasn't a bad pick-up. Looks ok on me, even though when we were looking I thought it might be a bit high on the Gaydar, but it turned out ok. 
Most Australian's that I know who live overseas keep a track of what is going on back home. When I woke last week and found 3 instant messages telling me to check the news I too was stunned that The Croc Hunter had been killed. What a sad moment for Australia. This was also big news in Germany. Newspapers, TV, and radio all relayed the news. The Croc Hunter was very well known in Germany, and most people I know were also shocked. The legacy will live on!
Being a Holden fan I also have to pay tribute to Peter Perfect. The guy was a winner, and a legend of the sport.
I am also happy that Josh and my mate, Pete B (for those of you that remember Josh and I met the Premier in the city one night), was returned as the Premier of QLD. There really was no other option, but I also put this down to Pete's dynamic leadership over the past years. The labour party decimated the other side in 
previous elections, leaving them with only a handful of sitting members. As a result it means they have problems producing anything of significance. Maybe if they change their strategy from slander and criticism to producing some viable alternative, they may one day gain back some votes.
There is lots of Poker on TV in Deutschland! When I first got to Germany, I also seemed to win heads up poker matches against Britty. Now she is on a run, and has beaten me 3 times in a row!
It was 5 years ago that September 11th shocked most of us. I clearly remember watching the TV that night, and seeing the 2nd plane hit the tower. I remember walking into work the next day, and hearing almost nothing. A university that was usually busy with people was quite, you could almost hear a pin drop. No one was talking, most people looked stunned. It was a very weird feeling.
On the weekend my team, the Broncos, failed to win another finals match in the NRL. This means they have failed to win one for at least 3 seasons. When they do finally win one, watch out!
On the topic of basketball, Andy and myself have a new favourite for “Dancing with the Stars”. None other than our most favourite player of all time, Andrew Gaze! I am really really disappointed (of course) that I am not in Australia to see it. Maybe some good people out there could tape for me and send it on. I would be really keen to see Gaze falling on his arse, and complaining to the judges that he was pushed by a Bullets player!
Since I have been in Germany, I have heard many Australian songs on the radio that most Brisbane radio stations no longer play. The first time I heard Vanessa Amorosi's I was shocked, but I was more shocked when I heard 3 of her songs during one work day!
We decided to head to a beach on the west coast of the Island that was recommended in my Loney Planet Travel Guide. The beach was located at Cala Mondrago, but on the way we stopped at Porto Cristo. This was a nice little beach town, that was full with tourists. This is the beach at the port, with many beautiful houses on the mountain above. We decided we wouldn't swim here, because it was just too busy. 
Another picture of the port at Porto Cristo. As with all of the ports on Mallorca, they are filled with expensive boats. Maybe next time we go there we take a boat cruise.
Another photo at the port.
Next we moved onto Cala Mondrago, the beach that we had planned to visit. It was just as the travel guide had described, however a little more touristy then I expected. I guess anywhere you go in Mallorca in August is going to be busy. The water here was beautiful, crystal clear, and perfect temperature.
A closer look at the beach.
At Cala Mondrago you were able to walk around to the beach on the other side of the rocks. This was the view from the walk way looking out to sea.
This photos is of the beach on the otherside of the rocks. Very very nice.
The following day we decided to go to the very popular (especially with German tourists) El Arenal . Going out here is similar to being in Germany, the clubs play only German music, and most of the people are German tourists. It was quite interesting, but not my favorite place on the island. The beach though is however spectacular, with a great view to the capital Palma. 
On the final night we went to dinner. Was not a bad feed.
I also took a few photos from around the house. As I have said previously the house was great. This was the dining area.
This was a photo looking toward the pool in the back of the yard.
This was our bedroom for the first few nights.
The court yard at the back of the house.
This is Bello. He was a very funny dog. The funniest thing was he use to love to go for a walk, collect rocks, and place them infront of the neighbours fence. Lets say he wasn't too happy about it.
The view from our room, when we moved up stairs after a few days. Is very very nice. Would love to wake up to this everyday.
Another photo from our balcony.
