Through The Looking Glass- 2006

As was to become a feature of our mornings Amy and I were up early whilst Mark...took a little longer! We drove to the city and walked in from the outskirts. The Durham cathedral is pretty amazing. It's so big. It's the room that was used for the great...

 

Contiki

Well back in London now after an awesome 15 days on contiki. It certainly wasn’t a holiday though. Average 4 hours sleep a night and 6 hours travel a day. You soon learn to sleep on the bus. Accommodation was in hotels and cabins in camp grounds. No...

Contiki: European Escapade

01/06/2005 Started off on our Australian rite of passage today, a 25 day Contiki tour. The hotel that they put us up in was pretty grotty but it was central and everyone else from our tour was staying there as well so we got a chance to get to k...

Exploring the Global Mind

I boarded the train and arrived in Bratislava, the capital of the newly independent kingdom of Slovakia, within the short space of an hour. The day was wet and overcast. Dinky little Bratislava! A cute little town with a cute little Hrad, and a cute li...

 

Vienna marathon & zoo

As the London marathon is so difficult to get into without bleeding your friends dry trying to raise money to cover a charity place, I decided to head back to Vienna for the marathon (had done it the year before). It's a great marathon - big enough ...

 

Europe Gap Year 2005-2006

Have really enjoyed our time in London. Still feel like we're on holiday even though we have to work. London Weather: Not that bad! Even winter was bearable and the summer days are long and (mostly) sunny. Maybe we struck a good year? Londo...

 

Friends are the family you choose - 2 years in London

I have been asked by a number of people to keep the stories coming. The feedback l have had from many of you has been so complimentary and flattering. I hope l can continue to make you laugh (l would be happy with a smile), sometimes cringe and l know ...

 

Let´s play the traveling game.

That's what I like in my cities. Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg blaring through the streets. We decided to take a mini detour to Budapest. It's been muggy and chock full of fun stuff. The day we got here, we discovered that President Bush was following us i...

 

Our 'European Vacation' 2006

Europe '05

Oh God, Rome… We went there twice. We were there for a total of about 8 days? Something like that anyway. It was so unbelievably hot that I wanted to kill people. Our cabin (another camping ground) thankfully had air-conditioning otherwise I think...

Eastern Europe 2005

A fab day trip to Kotor, only 15 minutes up the winding mountain road from Budva - the route in was fantastic, up and over a large mountain - the drive down the other side into the town itself was beautiful, even if the bus we took looked about 40 year...

 

European Trips - 2004-2006

Before my trip to Barca, I had heard so much about it. About how it one of the best cities in the world to visit, and how beautiful it is etc. So my expectations were very high for my first visit to the place, which is rarely a good thing. But I have ...

 

APs European Vacation

Musee D'Orsay: awesome. Sculptures rocked the house. Three in particular reminded me of the superior AP, Diz and me. Hard to explain why. There was also a painting that screamed Rohan. Waves of purple. Cool stuff. Versailles: also pretty awesome. Cr...

Vienna visit

Boy is Vienna cold in the Winter! After living there for two years you'd think I would have gotten used to it a little?! Maybe the last few months back in London have softened me too much. Oh well, just a good excuse to drink loads of hot punch, I...
