Oakwood Guest House London

Saying goodbye to Dublin was hard, I really liked it there. But, I was obviously very excited to go to London. So early Friday I packed my bags and headed to the airport. I flew in to the Standsted airport with Ryanair. I got off on a bad start with them, by having to pay 40 euros at the airport because I had forgotten to check in online- someth...

Since we spent about a month in Europe, what did we do with the other 21 day not covered by Contiki's tour?! Well, we spent a couple of days before and after the trip in London!

The European Inspiration gives you the best of both holiday worlds. A great combination of destinations, Berlin, Prague, Munic...

Hi all,
So…. Here is ‘little’ story from our travels.
As you all know after a few good years in Pommy land we have decided to say good bye to miserable rainy London and decided to move to Land of Oz on 26th August 09.
Trip to the airport wasn’t easy and even though I tried not to shed any tears and be...

I still got up at 7ish.. so I didn't sleep very much. The night before I started having this sore throat. I took a shower and went down for breakfast at ~8:10am. I didn't see Muruka, she's probably left for somewhere else in England. I talked with Karen, an American student majoring in broadcasting journalism who stayed in my room. She's been tr...

Early this morning (3ish) we all packed up into the vans and headed to the Bangalore Airport for our first leg back home through London. This time, there weren't many on the roads so there were few beeps. There was no weaving in and out of traffic. The only thing that slightly delayed us was a bunch of sheep. The Shepherd was there directing the...

Well, I'm fairly sozzled on good French white wine (I was cooking risotto - what?) and so I think this is definitely a great time to update travelpod. Honestly, not a great deal has been happening. We've been saving up because we're going to England very soon, and so the travelling has been halted for a moment. Terrasson is beautiful, as always,...

Well hello there! Here I am in lovely England. Staines, to be exact; 'Staines' as in the old english word for 'Stones', not as in 'stains'. I am stuaying with my cousin, Debbie, and her chappy Rob (who is just the loveliest guy). Their internet is down at the moment, so I haven't had a chance to say hi yet! The time here is 9 hours behind home, ...

OK, now I'm glad to be in a controlled environment building. We're slipping into a heat wave -- haven't heard of anyone fainting on the Tube yet, but they are making overhead announcements reminding people to stay hydrated. Finished at the BL a little early today and took the Light Rail out to Greenwich [geek alert!]. They've done a lot of work ...

Over the last two days I have been heading into the centre of London to check out all the different things the city has to offer. I had been in the UK for 2 weeks now but I haven't really spent much time in London so I was eagerly waiting for some good weather so I could see everything and get some good photos! The previous day before heading in...

Back in Blighty. What can I say, I'm elated - the weather is.............rubbish, my garden looks like a jungle, car battery is flat (despite the neighbours saying they'd turn the engine), I have ear infections, diarroeha, stomach upset, virus, etc. Yippee. On the plus side (depends upon your point of view here) I have a tenant for my house, who...
