The Eating Challenge
Jun 6, 2005

I'm at Stefan's house and the lot of them have gone to Sweden, leaving me to fend for myself. Not that I mind at all; it beats staying at home an extra 5 days... I'm chilling out in expectation of hard travel in Ethiopia. Having just done a week long ...

The verdict
Jul 19, 2009 (3 photos)

Spending the best part of the last 4 weeks in Colombia, I don't consider myself to have much more than scratched the surface. However, when someone asks me about my trip I can safely say that I have experienced enough to assure them that Colombia is only ...

Confused...
Nov 13, 2009

By the time you read this I will have left for the airport… so sorry if you have only just realised that I have gone again! Fingers crossed there are no strip searches, lost bags or bags breaking, deportations, refusals of entry or bomb scares! ...

Getting adventurous again...
May 28, 2009

I tried so hard but.... after the last big trip I haven't been able to get the bug out of my system... despite resigning to the fact that life had to be a little different! And I've already attempted to book this one a couple of times and failed ...

The last supper
Nov 7, 2007

We have just had our last supper in the UK. It was curry, as it is the nation's favourite dish after all. And Dom's, obviously. Most of the preparations have finally been finished. It has been a long process of quitting jobs, moving houses, getting ...

Our last stop before London is at St Catherine's School in Bramley. The netball games were played outdoors and the A Team had a win and the B Team - a loss. (We later discovered that their coach - a really lovely lady- was the England U21 Team Coach.& ...

Have you seen my fleece?
Jun 14, 2009 (3 photos)

So here's the latest... It's been slow progress the last few weeks with preparations being limited to trying to track down my 'special’ travelling fleece which seems to have gone AWOL in my parent’s loft. It’s extremely sentimental sadly ...

Getting excited...
Aug 31, 2008

Only a week and half to go now before the big departure! Getting very excited! We've been buying the last few bits and bobs we need for our epic adventure - like water bottles for the Machu Pichu trek. I've even bought a book called "Last day of the Incas ...

First stop - Guildford!!

Gatecrashing One Awesome Leaving Party
Jun 17, 2007 (13 photos)

After a lift with Lucy's parents down the highway, we arrived at my home town, Guildford - well, birth place - and possibly our best night's accomodation on the entire trip. The whole night was incredible, we couldn't have wished for a better farewell ...

Prep work

It's all coming together - I'm organised and methodical in my approach and my ruck sack is taking shape with the gear I need.

Ride the train
Dec 9, 2004

Warm, cold, hot, freezing, wet, dry, cold...what to pack what to leave behind. The dilemas, the joys! What colours are in fashion? Nah, just doesn't match the colour of the rucksack. http://www.dirty.org/underworld/files/ underworldlive/audio/belfort/ ...

Swan River
Feb 3, 2008 (3 photos)

After paying homage to the Indo Pacific I nipped back to the Transperth platforms and caught the Midland Line to Guildford, one of the earliest settlements in WA, and therefore brimming with old buildings. I grab a coffee and then walk the old town ...

Late Nights and Early Mornings
Dec 13, 2004 (3 photos)

Alarm clock set for 3.30 AM. That is no way to start an adventure - I'm not calling it a holiday. Minus 5 points if you say I'm having a holiday. You don't take gloves, have injections, take anti-malaria tablets, pack a sleeping back that has to keep me ...

Back in Sunny Old Britain
Jun 2, 2005 (4 photos)

After spending 24 hours in Bangkok we reluctantly made our way to the airport and caught our plane back home. Back on British soil we made it through customs and got re-acquainted with the obscenely low temperature of May in England (Heathrow airport ...

Home!
Dec 14, 2008

Argh, we've arrived home to a damp, cold England.... but very happy to see everyone again, and especially happy to meet young Oliver who arrived whilst we were away.
