Parliament

2000 was a time of great change, when I packed up my life in Brisbane and flew to Europe to begin a voyage of discovery. After a tour of the continent, I settled in London and learned how to make tea.

	My first London shindig was an awesome Halloween party, held on the 28th of October, 2000 by the crew at Orme Court. Tonnes of costumed crazies, including lots of pretty girls and me looking rather beastly as a furry werewolf.
	The Tower of London is pretty amazing. Nearly a thousand years of history within its walls - some of it pretty nasty, too. The Tower's collection of arms and armour is also fantastic, but be aware of the huge queues and crowds.
	I had to leap in and do the tourist thang in London, spending a day wandering around Westminster, taking in the sites. I saw many famous London icons, including Big Ben, the River Thames and Westminster Abbey.
	Before I could get settled in the UK, I departed Old Blighty for a 25-day Contiki tour around Europe. It was an excellent primer for me, being a European newbie, and I even made friends with fifty other stalwart travellers along the way.
	When my contract finished mid-July 2000, my sister and I escaped to Byron Bay, a beautiful beach town on the northern coast of NSW. Wandering along the beaches and paths up to the lighthouse proved very relaxing.
