Living in Clapham North
This is a top pick! Living in the Clapham North share flat has been great. Getting free wireless Internet has been a bonus, helping with the job hunting and emails. We're here with one guy from Canberra who works at a local pub pulling beers and is driving around town in ...
Yum, a Home Cooked Meal
This is a top pick! After a great night's sleep (some of us having dreams, or possibly nightmares, of being back at university) in our own private dorm rooms we checked out and walked down the road to the Carlisle Castle. Parts of the castle are still being used by a local ...
Back in 'sunny' England
This is a top pick! Well, it's all over. My year of travel is gone. I'm absolutely devasted, but all good things have to come to an end at some stage. Arrived in Heathrow, and faced the prospect of waiting around for my internal flight to Manchester - a nice 6 hours. ...
Meet the Parents
This is a top pick! Back at the crazy Dubai hostel they now had no beds available for our last night; typical! They wouldn't let us book for three nights so they filled up and we had no where to go. We were sick of the weird strange people there anyway so we headed to the ...
Stirling Scotland
This is a top pick! Did I mention that 2 generous Stirling Council workers gave me a Wallace Doll (from Wallace & Grommit series) and 'Stirling Council' beanie? They also provide a bit of history about William Wallace and Robert Burns. The guys removed debris and carrion ...
Gotta Love the Motos
This is a top pick! Having already been to Bath a few weekends ago we took Rick's parents on the "Rick and Meg's Whirlwind Tour of Bath" taking in just the interesting sights very quickly as we were keen to get on the road for our long drive to the Lake District. Once they ...
To Cycle or not to Cycle
This is a top pick! That has been the question of late. When drenched in Ireland, I must admit, I was desperate to get to Edinburgh and have some change. I wanted to rent a vehicle and do a little different type of travel for awhile. Take a break from the ...
The End of The Story.
This is a top pick! Well, the grand tour is all over bar the shouting. Looking back over some of these entries brings back great memories. I'm really glad I kept this, although at time it was hard work, some I wrote when I was tired, some when I was a bit drunk, some when I ...
God vs Science
This is a top pick! Our train left around 9:00am and we had to transfer before getting to Cardiff but it only took about an hour and a half in total (much different from the 13 hr train rides in China!). It was unfortunetly raining the entire morning so our walk to the ...
Back to Welsh Wales
This is a top pick! We finally make it to Wales to see my family. I feel pretty bad its taken so long to get here esp as the original plan was to get here the first week we got back but events prevailed. We stay at my granny Dodo who is the same as ever although we ...
First day in Bath
This is a top pick! We had to catch our train from London to Bath at 12:00pm so we decided to get to the station around 11:00am because we figure its better to be early than late and we weren't yet sure how the train system in the UK ran. After we arrived at Bath we ...
To Germany................
This is a top pick! I thought I'd better put down exactly what the plan is, so I can look back on how wrong it went in a few months time. On the 1st of June, we're going to jump on a bus that is conveniently going to take us all the way to Amsterdam. We'll spend nearly ...
.................... And Beyond
This is a top pick! After the World Cup, we're going to head east. The plan is to nip through Poland, and then spend a few days in Latvia Lithuania and Estonia before going to St Petersburg. A bit of time there and then over to Moscow, where we're going to get a ticket on ...
London Bridge is Falling Down
This is a top pick! Our first full day in London we managed to get up at a decent time and were out of the hostel by 9:30 (we're pretty sure the time change helped with that). We took the train into the city centre to the London Bridge station. The Borough Markets are ...
Its rrrreeeeeaaaalllly happening
This is a top pick! A couple of days to go, and it's only just sinking it that we don't have to go back to work. Oh well, India tomorrow. Thought that we would have a practice, thanks everyone for making the effort to say goodbye, really meant a lot to both of us. Have ...
Long Lost Twins
This is a top pick! After we left Judy and David's house in Bearsden (again thank you both for your kind hospitality) we decided as we didn't have time to look around Glasgow we would drive through the town centre then head north. That was a bad idea! Trying to find our way ...
3 days to go....
This is a top pick! Just 3 days to go until I fly out to Cusco, Peru for the first part of my year off travelling. I do feel like I am disappearing in the total unknown. Peru does feel like a long, long way from home and I think will be totally different to ...
Being British
This is a top pick! Visit Klenske, Ink. It must be great to be British. Not only do you get to live in Europe, have a queen, talk in a nifty accent, you can speak our shared language in oh such a more profound way. Que instead of line. Bill and not check. Trousers for ...
How small is the bag??
This is a top pick! I've been meaning to start this blogging thing for a couple off weeks and will try and keep up with it while I am off on my jolly' s. Although I shouldn't be constantly travelling when I'm in Oz, I'm sure there will be things that surprise, amaze and ...
To all my homies on the 8.02 to London Bridge
This is a top pick! Tickets? Check. Passport? Check. Backpack? Check. Toothbrush? Check. Sh*tload of anti-diarrhoea tablets? Check. Bangkok lady-boy detector? Check. Copies of the-guidebooks-that-are-helping-to- make-this-less-of-a-Lonely Planet? Check. Attitude that ...
The Scottish Highlands
This is a top pick! Today, James and I took off in a little Audi sports car he borrowed from his buddy to do an all day driving loop through the Scottish Highlands and burn a couple tanks of gas on the twisty back roads. And at $8 dollars a ...
Leaving the UK and it began...
This is a top pick! Hey people This is a one stop shop for anyone and everyone to find out what Team Cooper aka Dan & Kat are doing in the four corners of this world. Congratulations on finding this blog site its not going to change your life but it will bring a little ...
Then and Now
This is a top pick! All of the many many photos: Where in the world 1 year. 15 countries. 10,700 photos. Over 50,000 miles. How do you explain it all? How do you describe the time of your life? Where do you go from here? Been home for a little over one ...
Older than the Pyramids
This is a top pick! Today we had to get up very early, around 5.30am, to catch a bus up to the Orkney Islands. We decided that it wasn't worth driving all the way up there and back again, as it would be easier to do a day tour. On the way north we passed a few oil rigs in ...
Hello
This is a top pick! A little background information for those who are not aware. Cathy alias Rene is 32, she launders money and gun runs for a small Manx cartel. In her spare time Rene enjoys stunt kite flying, meccano and pipe smoking. Lee alias Louie is 28, he collects ...
Do Not Pass Go
This is a top pick! This Tuesday Rick had to head out to Reading for a customer meeting, so Megan decided to come along as she'd heard Reading actually had a shopping centre! Shopping Centres in London are a rarity as most shops are on the High Street - basically a ...
The Highlands are Coming Horrah Horrah!
This is a top pick! Finally! Out in the country on my way to the highlands. I have been looking forward to this for a long time as this is an area I've been enchanted with in Scotland. I'm sure we could spend a month easy, but we won't get to see ...
Gettin' Nowhere Fast
This is a top pick! Awoke to the sound of raindrops hitting the tent. The best sound to wake up to! (For those of you who may not know, that is sarcasm). Time to pack up our damp, dripping, slug-infested gear. Oh yay. The rain was tolerable, more of ...
