Best Western Gonville Hotel Cambridge

It was really sad leaving Israel. The flight back to Heathrow was about 4 hours by Jumbo then we bussed it back to Cambridge an hour late after I mixed up the bus tickets. We reached the flat in Cambridge around 1 am exhillerated but exhausted. What a brilliant two weeks!

It was very hard to leave Israel ...

Departure is 6th April 2010, which is about 6months away.

This post is just a pre-introduction, because I need to clean the windows (seriously) and will write a better, more indepth post with itinerary, kit list, worries etc. later,

... will exist in my backpack. This will take some getting used to I think! I also seem to have come down with a rather wonderful cold- still, better here than on arrival in Bangkok.

One week tomorrow- oh my god! I just can't believe its come around so soon, feels like yesterday it was just an idea and now its a week away. Still lots to sort out, scanning a million things I will probably ...

We arrive at Stansted at about 8pm and proceed to have a, probably, day old burger somewhere in the airport. Yum. Turns out that all the shops, in the departure lounge and outside, close at about 9pm so we have to sit around for 4 hours before our flight boards with nada to do.

Finally we get on the flight with a load of other backpacker types and head to Malaysia!

... by him as his very own personal
ball-thrower. To him that is, almost, my sole reason for existence
(perhaps it is, perhaps everything else I do is a waste of time and
all I was put on earth to do is that, hmm). Normally I would I have
given anything to have a quiet breakfast without his insistence that
I play, but now I would love to have ...

... the twin Airforce Bases are all US AirForce. I went to the Airshows here as a child, and some things I won't ever grow bored of - loud Jets being one of them (even if their usage is against everything I stand for, they are still mega cool).

So with the sun setting, we hit Lowestoft in Norfolk, staying at Helens Aunts house, playing with the Chooks and the Dogs :-)

... pastie for lunch and purchasing our Cambridge Sweat Shirts from the local market. We boarded the bus to make our way to the River Cam for Punting! We jumped on board the punt with a group of other sight seers, it was a fun experience as the river was choc a block with other guided punts and people who had hired a punt, so as you can imagine... they were not very good! (Punting is a like a gondola but the bottom of the boat is flat. A person ...

Twas the night before Christmas (well actually a couple of days after but whos counting?) and the fat boy was busy packing and repacking -- wondering how it was that he used the same bag that he took to work every day for the last seven months for a month long trip to Sri Lanka. I have no idea either. Work clothes, gym clothes, lunch -- well it all ...

... it took my breath away. Henry the VI decided to build it and it was completed by Henry the VIII. It has survived for many years. The land around Cambridge is fairly flat and good for air bases. During World War II, there was a huge air base close to Cambridge. The British were afraid that someone might attack the air base and then come to Cambridge and bomb them. They wanted to keep the stained glass in King's College Chapel intact so they ...

... King's is perhaps one of the best known college in the Cambridge system owing to the magnificent King's College Chapel with world renown King's College Boy's Choir. Just this afternoon I participated in my third (and last) Evensong which is an evening Anglican service lasting for approximately 45 minutes. The service consists of spoken and sung texts with the Boy's Choir providing the music; today the congregation had the privilege of singing the final hymn, one by Charles ...
