Nice one Obi, I got them all when they did it earlier in the year but good to know they are doing it again. No Lisbon there though unfortunately.

Revival!!!
awesome Obi... just saw your link..
not sure whether to take my iphone or just get a piece of shit phone that has an awesome battery....
cos with use, my iphone is lucky to last 24 hours....
anyways, organised the first month and a half.... need to organise the rest!
So i arrive in London August 14th and the next month and a half i havent organised at all...
Hoping to get to Valencia for the Tomato throwing festival which is the last Wednesday of August (29-31st i think this year).. apart from that the plan was to go from London to Paris, then work down to Spain, then if i get time go back to somewhere i hit on my tour (east europe, possibly Germany or Prague)
Any good areas to stay in London? Looking at Soho or around there at the moment.
Any tips on Areas for good nightlife or whatever would be helpful from some peeps who know about it!

If you taking your iPhone you might wanna install accor hotels app. Very nice little gadget to help you find reasonably priced hotels.

The last few times I've been to London I've stayed at a place called 'The Cumberland, a Guoman Hotel' right next to Marble Arch tube station. It's not the cheapest hotel, but definitely not the most expensive either and it's a VERY nice hotel for the money.

The phone problem, if i where you i took the iPhone and another phone with a better battery. Some hostels have very limited electric sockets.

ive stayed at the cumberland, nice hotel, but yeah, far from a budget place.. YHA have hostels all over London, think the best priced one is over st.pauls way, also worth checking travelodge (kind of a motel style hotel chain, but they do offers of £19 per room per night, so worth checking)
make sure you go to carnival at the end of august, SW4 is on the same weekend, all dayer, line ups not too shabby.
how you getting from london to spain? think they still do train tickets that last for a month or summin, hop on hop off kinda thing.
www.seat61.com is a great site fo all train travel information, all over the world

Cheers Pukka!
Well I was going to train it through to Paris... Then probably a few trains to Spain but I haven't thought too hard about it lol
Is thus carnival and SW4 thing in London...?

I sill can't get over the fact that you're going to be traveling for 3 fucking months! That's amazing, man! I envy you. Wish I could help with your trip. Loved Venice (a lot), Capri, Dubrovnik, Hvar. Hit me up if you ever come to the states, bro.
