Well hello from the long haul flight back to Australia. I thought I’d use one of the 17 hours in the air to finish listing all the things about Eastern Europe that stood out to me. It’s been a long time since I last slept, so hopefully this post makes sense. And, by the time I go online to publish this, I’ll probably be back home. So…. here they are!

Merhaba, benim adım Hamfri!
English: Hello, my name is Humphrey
Yes, I’m still alive! I just haven’t blogged for a while because I’ve been up to doing so much. There are many things that I want to blog about, but for the time being I’ll just let you know what I’ve been up to since my last post. So here we go.
First Half Synopsis

I’m now about halfway through my trip in Eastern Europe, so I thought it would be a good time to give a quick summary of what I’ve been up to. I’ve added links throughout this post to either my other posts or posts by Elly & Stu. So here we go.

Ok, the time has come for me to highlight many of the weird things that Eastern Europe has to offer. Some things are weird, some things are better, and some things are just outright stupid or dangerous. There are a lot, so here is part one of the list which appears in no particular order.
Narrow Gauge Train To Bansko, Bulgaria

Since we (Elly, Stu, & me) have been up to so many exciting things in Bulgaria over the past few days, I have so many things that I want to blog about. I’m writing this while sitting on a bus to Sofia and there is only about 1 — 2 hours left. So I’ll just write about the coolest train trip ever that we took the other day. Hopefully I’ll get online soon to publish this.
Gün Üç — Coolest bus trip ever!

A couple of days ago I caught the bus from Istanbul, Turkey to Haskovo, Bulgaria. As I had flown from the other side of the world the day before, I wasn’t looking forward to the trip. But it turned out to be awesomeness to the max!
Day 2 — Or something like that
Posted by Humphrey Murray at 5 a.m. 15.10.2009 — 7 Comments
Well I’m not sure whether this is really day 2, day 1, or day 3 — I’m confused. I’ve only had 2 hours sleep since I’ve left Tasmania, so my head is pretty spaced out and tired. Anyway, I’m writing this post as an excuse to stay awake for another hour or two. It’d just be weird to go to be at 7.30pm :-P
Day 1 — Planes, planes & planes
Posted by Humphrey Murray at 10:52 p.m. 13.10.2009 — 9 Comments
So I’m on my way to Europe! I’m currently sitting 11,581m above the very top corner of Australia, traveling at 848km/h. Man that sounds fast — but I’m glad we’re not going any slower. :-) In 1.5km I’ll be exactly half way between Melbourne and Kuala Lumpur. Oh look, we just did!
Farewell Exhaust Pipe

For those of you who have been in Tasmania recently, you will know that it has been raining alot. Well, all that rain has had its toll on the Midlands Highway. You can barely drive more than a couple of km’s down the highway without having to swerve to avoid a large section of potholes. But that’s not the scary thing about driving in the rain. What’s most freaky is coming up behind trucks. Not only are they big and slow, but the trail of spray that comes off the back of them is so thick that you cannot see where you are going until you overtake them.
