Ok, I'm soooo fatigue /weary at the moment that I could fall asleep even in a fountain. so I won't really write much more than the fact that I had some really amazing experiences, some of which were too great to share with anyone so I'll just let them printed in my memory.
I find myself now in Glasgow, Scotland. and after having been through lots and having seen stonehenge.. I got robbed at stonehenge. so it's up to me to try and make it right to get safely home. will the poor roamer accomplish his dream and reach the actual irish shore? that's a matter only time will tell. what i do regret though is missing out so many great festivals around europe and fests and concerts in my country. and missing my friends a bit. anyhow my eyes are getting heavier and so does my head.. therefore you'll have to hold onto just that.
anyhow, sweet dreams, everyone. I'll dream of the Loch Ness monster, of course. it's only a couple of hundreds miles away. hehe

Up into eiffel tower. notre dame. UK!!!!!!!
ok, I'm pretty much the happiest person ever. although paris was amazing, and had the most amazing view from atop tour eiffel and all the other thigns i've visited, and other things i've done.... nothing compares to going on a huge enormous ferrybot from callais to dover, uk.. eating at the restaurant there, and hearing the seagulls and spending time with two amazing people, two musicians, with lots of instruments scattered all around the house, a fantastic house, fantastic garden, fantastic city, dover.. and the concert at the restaurant was fabulous. and I still can't believe I ended up sooner than expected on english soil. this is INCREDIBLE! can't wait for tomorrow to visit a 2500years old castle and a 3500years old boat, and the shore and everything, and everyone speaks english here. and everything's plain FANTASTIC!

Oh, Champs Elysees... Tour Eiffel, Le Louvre!
Well, it seems I skipped a lovely day in oradea, and my trip through 5 countries of getting to Paris, and one incredible day spent in Paris, but I'm really out of time, barely have some to breathe.
I can't believe I got to see the good ol' Paris... la Seine is lovely, Champs Elysees did not impress me much, tho. Nor did Tour Eiffel, despite it's incredible statistics(lights, weight height paint put in it etc). it seemed small to me, really did. not the impressive thing I was expecting. I was much rather pleased by le Louvre... IT'S ENORMOUS! and FANTASTIC! yes, I did see Rembrant's autoportrait, and ofc Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, and oh, thousands or tens of thousands of other things, 1 day is simply not enough of going through le Louvre... it's gigantic! it has some lovely parks, and got to see another museum, and seems like today I'll take the path of getting up on the elevator on the Eiffel Tower, then visit la Notre Dame de Paris, and Sacre Coeur, another lovely cathedral, and some castle thing and grr there are so many... oh ofc L'arc de Triomphe, and then if I have a little more time, back to le Louvre, it's just too big to make in a day or two without literally running, hehe.
Anyhow, today i'll see what I do, and tomorrow maybe, then it's Stonehenge time for me!
don't have time to write more, nor to upload any pictures. hopes for some spare time to do it soon.
Take care, lads.

One big day trip. Oradea. party! xx
So here I am, at my host's place, relaxed and fresh after having taken a shower, waiting to go out with him for a few drinks as it's his birthday.
Today I went out in the morning, around 10AM, instead of 8, because eh, I'm lazy.
Around 11 I got to the hitchin place from brasov towards sibiu/oradea, and after an unsuccessful attempt of hitchin a ride directly to Oradea for 20mins, I got overbored and got out my heavy artilery: SIBIU hitchhiking sign. waited quite long with that as well, but cars couldn't stop so easily there and they were going fast. to my surprise I got picked up by a hungarian guy from Budapest, who's been living in Brasov for the past 8 years, and if I would've known him just a tad earlier, he would've found me a host in ireland, and he would've offered me a direct RIDE to UK! grr, imagine my frustration... anyhow, he took me to sibiu and gave me lots of insightful info. such as eating 3 course meals at the price of 2 euros, where to play music on the street for money, and where to buy a 7.5euros 2person tent, lot lighter than my 4person one. and he took me to sibiu and let me exactly where I should've hitchhiked next. sort of, walked a bit to the gas station with my enormous backpack(PACK LIGHT,PACK LIGHT!) and then waited lots aka 20mins there, listening to music and trying to catch a ride to Cluj, till some car beeped for me behind my back. so I turned and there was a really cool guy who's been going to lots of concerts and also acdc in france, just as i did with the crans in Milan, and err he was cool. took me to Cluj and let me in the center from where i took a bus towards the margin of the city, where I walked a bit and waited for my next hh-ing experience, which was horrible, by the way. aka i waited in the burning sun for half an hour and eventually caught a ride, yet insolation was knockin' at my door. anyhow, that guy DROVE ME WITH 210KMPH!!! and overran lots of cars with the imminent danger of bumping a truck or a car face to face. so uhm, was quite thrilling I reckon, and err, then he played some old rock classics, all unplugged, was pretty neat. yet I felt quite tired, as I haven't slept the previous night. he let me right in the center, and I paid him 5lei, 1.25euros, as he was sort of err looking like one that would do that for money, we didn't talk much at all. got a luvly ice-cream from the centre and uhm then walked a tad around the city, saw the river, and erm then met with my host, Benjamin. pretty cool guy, I reckon.
ok time for me to uhm split, we goin out rockin!
will post some pics late in the night.
bye lads!

IRELAND!
Here I am with my enormous backpack, after not having slept at all the previous night, taking a few hours bath and backpacking... and now it's 8.52 AM, 2nd July. This is it. This is my departure point. this evening I'll hopefully be in Oradea to be hosted by a really cool guy whose birthday is today as well. hope I manage to catch a ride fast enough..
So the trip of my life has begun, hitchhiking and couchsurfing/camping with the tent all the way to my beloved Eire... along the way attending a few festivals and concerts, crashing for a few days in Paris, hopefully attending the 2nd Cranberries concert as well.. and hopes to meet the american girl and travel with her henceforth on tuesday, in Austria. *fingers crossed*
ok, I'm off now.
Remember what Tolkien, my fave author, used to say:
"It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out of your door," he used to say. "You step into the Road, and if you don't keep your feet, there is no knowing where you might be swept off to.
