India - yay or nay?
This is a top pick! Getting a life after graduation is all well and good, but why sit around waiting for job replies when you can be travelling? This niggling insidious little thought has been bothering me a lot in the past week. To humour it, I picked a destination: ...
Farewell to my parasite passengers!
This is a top pick! Got a phone call this morning informing me I have Schistosomiasis. There is a parasite party in my liver! Even better - to get to this stage, I had to diagnose myself and ask for the specific blood test. Go me! I am learning something in my lectures ...
First Day
... been my interfering that caused its demise, read on! Fortunately for me, the manager in charge of engineering in Dickies' boatyard in Bangor (where we have stored our boats for years) , dropped everything and came to help. It transpired that the unit had ...
One week to go!

Where to stay?
Tomorrow we'll be exploring the castles in the North West of Wales. The central base for this area is a town called Bangor, so that’s were we headed for tonight. After a few different train rides we made it to the town and walked up to the bus ...
Ferry and the snow
Rich: Woke this morning to a cold but clear day. -6.5 deg c as we headed out towards Stranraer. Beautiful countryside with white everywhere and clear skies. The ferry ride was pleasant and the weather really hit as we approached the port in Belfast. ...
Snow
Rich: The most snow in northern Ireland for twenty five years... very pretty. Walked down to town in the snow today, was nice to get out and about. We have spent a lot of time sitting around over the last few days. Linz: It was lovely to see the ...
Being well fed
... and their spouses but there was a big storm last night which brought with it a bit of hail for us but monster hail for Bangor. This left most people snowed in or unable to drive anywhere so it meant that the cousin were unable to safely make it. We were ...

Heads up! Ugly Troll may be let out today! ...Or not. Shame, t'was a stunning day. But neither of them got up in time. Ha, the fools. [Small disclaimer: Ugly Troll has brought to my attention the very erroneous deductions of a reader who ...
Crappy Breakfast
We woke, packed our bags and headed downstairs for our hot English breakfast. It was no where near as good as the breakfast we had in Plymouth. We asked for the eggs to not be runny (twice) and they still were. There was also only one scungy sausage and ...
Troon to Bangor
... otherwise he wa s happy to keep an eye on us from the warmth of his sheepskin bed! We were very happy to see a sunny Bangor 13hrs after leaving.We timed our arrival for the start of a local evening race so quite a few boats piling out! As we ...
Don't look back because....
... but nutritional food. A Chicken Kebab is so good for you, honestly... It's even better when the chicken isn't properly cooked, right? Bangor has more than one dark star and Shahin's is another which we - and nobody - can do without. - ...
By ferry and train to Wales
Stayed in Regency Hotel near train station for two nights. Then to Hostel for a couple more ...
Reuniting with (considerable) trepidation
Never go back! Don't ever, ever try to recreate the past or go back down your own path. Look ahead, don't look back. My mottos for life and travel.....and I'm going to break them with my old university mates. We've met many times since and always ...

Homesick Shmomesick
....at least the title makes sense in my head, lol. Well so far I have not been homesick AT ALL. (No offense, family!). Honestly, it is just so busy and full of life here, especially compared to back home, that I think I am still too intrigued by it all ...
What are these classes you speak of?
The long awaited update! Sorry y'all (a word that amazes people here), I have been super busy trying to integrate and stuff. Today was my first real day of classes, aside from my required one with the other program students on Monday...and it rocked! My ...
More Sea Trials
... the 75% and 100% for fifteen minutes at a time. It is exceptionally windy here, but thankfully not a massive swell. Back in Bangor marina coming alongside was difficult because we were continually blown off the pontoon in the high wind. But there were a ...
Work, work, walk - 1 day left!
Two days left in work - a few loose ends to fix up before I go. But I think I can safely say that I'm winding down!! Mei, Steve and Lou made it over late doors last nite - made it up Garreg Fawr (stunning views) after supper (mmh mmh - diolch mam!). ...
Birding around Anglesey
... we won enough on Patrick's quiz machine to cover the cost of the taxi and we had a few more wins in different pubs in Bangor centre before going for a late night curry in a decent curry house just up the road from The Varsity pub. I don't remember what ...
Brilliant start.....
.....as Dan and I manage to miss our first train atthe beginning of the trip!! Excellent!! After moi's rabid seraching over a month earlier to guarantee us £16 super-apex singles to London we manage to miss our train by nano-seconds. In fact Dan was on ...
Home sweet Home
So we have finally started our world adventure...at the beginning. Obviously it meant coming home! Not to relax however, we have spent the time here packing our things away and carefully documenting what we are putting where. It's ...
A night out in a university city
... machines on the steep walk into the centre and we soon had a healthy collection of pound coins. There's less karaoke in Bangor than in Caernarvon, which is a blessing but the centre on a Saturday night is still pleasantly lively. Sometime around ...
Titanic Ride
What I wrote on the ferry back to Bangor from Ireland: We're on the ferry back to Wales and it finally won't charge a million dollarspoundseuros to do anything with my phone. Yay. Jessica and Lucy are journaling too but since I am a loser and don't have ...
Mr & Mrs G Withers.....
Day 4 Wedding day! Headed into Bangor for breakfast. Mon made dodgy choice and ended up waiting 1hr for a hideous greasy fry up. Wandered through a trash and treasure market much to ink's disgust! Back to get ready for wedding. Somehow we made ...
Nyquil, Nyquil...Where for art thou, Nyquil?
Sick!! I am sick, of course. Not only because all my semester assignments are due in the next few days, but also because it is that time of the year :[ and to make matters worse, I think the medicine back home is much, much better than here. Paracetemol? ...
Kilmaine Lunchtime Premier League 1990 - 1991
Back in 1991, while in P7, final year at Kilmaine Primary School we often had football matches at lunch and break time. To this day, only one match from that period sticks in memory and what a cracker it was. The primary school used to let us eat lunch ...
The Causeway Coast
... - and parked for free too! Lots of seabirds on the little island, although we didn't see any puffins. The wardens there are very knowledgable about the birds and wildlife and are definitely worth chatting to. After this it was on to Bangor, near Belfast. ...
