Back in the Emerald Isle


Scary Fokker F50 Air Baltic Plane
Iris and Haapsalu Castle

Yes its true, I am in Ireland again! I came back for my brothers birthday and had fun surprising a few people.
On the way I went via Estonia to visit my girlfriend and had a lovely time but it was really cold there, I have definately accustomed to the warm aussie weather now. Even as I write this I'm wrapped up in fleeces feeling cold!
Its off to Spain tomorrow to visit my dad, hopefully its warmer there.


Cool old Russian Bike

I get back to Ireland just in time for the Fleadh Seoil, a windsurfing festival in Malahide so hope to catch up with a few friends before I go back to Estonia on Tuesday week.
Phew busy busy!

P.S. I have a lovely wave board for sale if anyone is interested.

Gold Coast


I left the Gold Coast today on my way south to visit my mate "the Pirate".
The last few days have been great, managed to get some more windsurfin in Currumbin. The place has amazing down the line sailing but needs quite specific conditions to be great. Namely a good south easterly, if there is no east in it there is quite a challange in getting out! It's been gettin me fit with all the swimming in and walking up palm beach with my gear on my head!
Unfortuneatly i dont have any pics as my wonderful personal photographer is home in Estonia at the moment.
Apart from standin on the beach chattin to Kirk and the other guys I went to the National Motorcycle Museum for a look around. Its a great spot with lots of bikes new and old.
While its nice to be on the road again its always a shame to leave a place after spending time with Anna and the other friends I met on the Gold Coast, I look forward to going back sometime.A replica of the first motorcycle ever built
