... dated from the 1600's and had a very low, timbered ceiling. Tomorrow we have a 6:15 wake-up call and an 8 am train from Norwich to London. Then a cab ride to St. Pancras Station and the Eurostar to Paris in the afternoon. I am so glad Mabry told ...
Goodbyes, Preparations and Dave

A Prologue
... feel guilty for their lack. Jim, Christine and their son Jake were brilliant at this point, putting us up in Norwich, pouring the drinks and offering comfort, advice and suffering the impertinence of a credit check when vouching for our promise to ...

Time to go
This is it, all the fussing and messing with baggage and kit is over. Everything or not is loaded and ready to go. I leave Norwich at 7:15 on a typical June evening, cool, wet and cloudy. It looks like I'm in for a good soaking. ...
Careening around East Anglia
... guides and some of the stuff I bought. It's out of hand. Anyway. We picked up a snappy little rental Renault in Norwich (pronounced Norridge) and honest to God were so flummoxed by the car and navigation system that I had to flag down a young ...

We're back!
So here we are back in cold, rainy England and after nearly three weeks we've managed to catch up with most of our friends and family and bore them silly with some of our 7000 photographs. Everyone's blown a few raspberries down our beautiful didgeridoo ...
Farewell Ireland
Just shy of our seven month mark in Ireland we decided move on. At a turtle's pace. Crossing three countries, we covered 510 kilometres via ferry, train, foot, underground and taxi over a 15 hour period. To kick start the day we checked off one of ...

The Start of the Begining
Well here i am at my pc, 5 1/2 weeks before i leave, a flight booked to Oz, Insurance, my first week sorted and a hip-flask. Yet deciding what to take was one of those things i overlooked and now have little to no clue, as normal. Theres Duty Free in ...
When the truth hits home
Anyone who knows me will know I can have a bit of a habit for going headlong into things. Although my decisions normally include alot of hasty thought, sometimes I just have'nt thought of quite all of the implications of my decisions. And for me that ...
going home
Sadly these trips have to have an end!! The only bad thing on the way home apart from parting with Flora was the security staff at Amsterdam confiscated my duty free despite being in the required clear sealed bag so my advice to everybody is dont buy any ...
