... are in the Montrose/Arbroath/Carnoustie metropolis. <br><br>Why has Lou-Anne not updated from Munich? Maybe following Lucys advice about beer und soft men?<br><br>By the way, what is with the German men and their mullets. I haven't see hair that flamboyant since my brother in law pitched up at the Binnies wedding (circa early 90s) looking like a Bay City Rollers tribute band.

... to see the sun rise over the Irish Sea...but I think i would have appreciated the sleep more!<br><br>It was off the boat at Liverpool, where I had 3 1/2 hours to get to the bus station. It took me about 45 minutes to get there (including a stop for a cornish pasty for breakfast) but i was so knackered that I couldn't be ***** looking around, so I just killed the time in the bus station. 5 1/2 hours on the bus, then about 50 minutes on the tube and I was back home!

... the island! It must bring a massive amount of money into the economy each year, and there are also other similar events such as the Manx Grand Prix, which is also very popular with the bikers around Europe.<br><br>I walked up to the pits around lunchtime for a bit of a look around, then it was back down to the waterfront to walk across to the main bus station where I hopped on a bus to Port Erin. It was another scenic bus ride which went along the south-east ...

... any reports were released regarding the incident. Later on in the evening it was reported that both the driver and passenger had been airlifted to hospital, and that both had sustained multiple broken bones, and were both in a pretty serious condition. It was rumoured, but not officially announced, that the sidecar had hit a rabbit, which caused the accident.<br><br>Overall it was a good days racing, and the weather was brilliant...at least on the parts of the island I was on, anyway.<br>

This morning I caught the bus to Ramsey, to watch the racing. The double decker went along a scenic drive, with some great views out over the coast, and through Laxey; home of the worlds largest functioning water wheel.<br><br>In Ramsey I made my way to Parliament Square...who's name was a tad confusing as I didn't see anything resembling parliament or a square...<br>The corner I watched the ...

Today it was over to the Isle of Man for the Tourist Trophy races, something which I've wanted to go to for a long time.<br><br>I began with an early-ish morning, then beginning the drive up to Heysham, a bit north of Liverpool, where I was to catch the Ferry. Mum and Nan were off to spend a few nights up north somewhere (which ended up being at Morecambe) and dropped me off at Heysham on ...

Hello readers. I'm Tom, and this is my travel blog. At the moment, I am an A-level student, in my final year of study. I have applied to university, but I've decided it'd be better for me to take a year out. So thats what I'm planning for the next year of my life, to travel to various countries and continents, embarking on mostly voluntary work. Alongside my studies, I am an athlete, competing over 800m. Through this sport, I have ...

... of her friends and family. I discovered that Manx people are extremely friendly - and quite as superstitious! Not only do all the regular superstitions apply, but you must also thank the ferries when you drive over their bridge, and whatever you do - never say the word 'r.a.t.'! Even writing it now is quite an offense (notice the periods). I learned this lesson the *********** Saturday night, when I blurted it out, thinking nothing of it, and everyone in the ...

... voyage tire sur sa fin! Le 14, retour a Glasgow pour que je reparte le 15 vers Ottawa. Etant donne que Zoom airlines a fait kaput, j'ai du me racheter un autre billet et c'etait le moins cher. Heureusement que mes parents se sont ennuyes assez pour accepter de venir me chercher a 2h30 de route. Merci:) Hamish ne revient que le 19 parce qu'il doit retourner chercher son passeport (si tout se passe bien il aura alors son visa de residence permanente).

... our bikes back to Douglas on the electric tram, I started to feel like it was a bit on anti-climax, and we still had a bit more riding in us. This false confidence was quickly dispelled when, on the last stretch up to the station, I attempted to surpass my earlier glorious fall with an even more embarrassing effort in ...
