More tavernas than toga parties although I did pack a LOT of shoes and nail varnish.

One thing that does spring to mind is that when you're younger you seem to have some sort of magic energy. That never ends. At the start of my backpacking trip around Asia, I flew to Amsterdam, then to Singapore - I didn't sleep on the plane as I had a drunk German in front of me for the entire journey from Amsterdam. Arrived in Singapore to gorgeous sunshine. Once I arrived at my hostel, I headed straight for the internet cafe to tell my folks I'd arrived ok and met none other than the now celebrity magician Ben Hanlin (he wasn't famous then). We hit it off immediately, joking about the strange insects crawling all over the computer desks. Along with another girl (I can't remember her name - bad I know) - we headed to the midnight safari and then some reggae bar and stayed there til sunrise. Following a non-nap (it was back in my diary-writing days so my I spent the entire 2 hours writing about my journey), we then went to the beach. Then met up with some of my mates who had flown in from Figi for dinner. All in all, I think I went nearly 3 days with no sleep. HOW DID WE DO THAT!!!!! I could NOT even dream of doing something like that now. I need my 8 hours. My wrinkles need my 8 hours. But would I do it again to experience the fun I had in those 3 days - hell yes! That trip to Asia was what made me fall in love with photography. I bought my first fancy camera at some dodgy shop in Singapore, nicknamed it the Beast, and I've never stopped snapping since. Thank you Mr Rip-off Salesman at giant electronics store. You might have ripped me off, but I loved that camera all the same. Until a vampire at a Hallowe'en party knocked it off the table and killed it - sad times ;o)Clairehttp://www.unscriptedphotography.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3340560222446184520.post-80330366803821332812016-04-07T15:16:51.172+01:002016-04-07T15:16:51.172+01:00It sounds like you had a blast...
