I have been in the Lands of Austerity for the last 12 days or so and decided I had to devise an elaborate escape plan which would get me out of here. I needed to avoid ECB/IMF/EU officials who might be watching borders in an effort to repress freedom. Anyway, I have come up with a plan.
The plan I came up with involved catching a bus to Brussels airport, showing my ticket at the gate (after getting my passport stamped) and flying to Sydney via Abu Dhabi. I think it will work but we will see if I turn up as planned and produce a blog on Friday.

But the Lands of Austerity extend to Australia – there is no escape!

Indeed they do. But the weather is warmer!

Good luck. Might be worth picking up a bowler hat and a pair of nose-glasses on the way to the airport…
No, no, take us with you!
