Best Western Leicester Stage

Wow - only one week to the day before we make our way down south to London town to stay in the very affordable 'heathrow' travel lodge.

Liz in in Manc saying goodbye to friends and family and i'm sorting the last bits out for the fresh box before we go.

Just wanted to say thank you to Ron and Sue for ...

... now in Northampton, tomorrow we leave for Dover, and on Friday morning we board the ferry for France. Hurrah! If all goes according to plan :-) We'll let you know how we get on of course.

Having got our hands back on everything we own, we're now able to upload some pictures we took of our time in Norfolk, in case anyone fancies a look. They're below.

Hopefully the next entry will come from France, please cross fingers for us.

Finally worked out my route.

Fly to Armenia, travel through Georgia to Turkey and fly from Istanbul to Mumbai. Work my way across to Calcutta and fly to Bangkok. Through Thailand and Cambodia to Vietnam, then onto China.

I am setting off early September 2010 and aim to be in China early December, maybe.

Tow truck 3, turns up at 20:30, we get loaded up and set off at 20:45 only to find out that the AA have sent me a driver that needs to take his 45 minute break in under an hour. So I waited an extra 1.5 hours for him to arrive and then I have to wait ...

... young, able, and the world offers us such ease of travel, but apart from that, good point. It takes hard work to save up, a hell of a lot of planning, knowing that you will miss people, and also making that choice NOT to have a morgage/children/career yet, which is something that most women do want by the way

Whilst I'm writing from Leicester, I have to say that leaving a place really increaces its good points, so I will miss you Leicester and all who sail in you! x

... to ever happen. I still feel that we have been incredibly fortunate, in that a few twists of fate gave us the chance to go on this trip and whatever the future now holds, it will be something that I will never forget and never regret. I have been round the world and that’s not bad for a kid from Radcliffe, who as a teenager was driven to the next town and found himself completely lost!

Now, where did we store the lawnmower???

... places with my own eyes. And, amazingly, despite years of planning, looking at maps, false starts (5 years before I eventually went, I'd even got so far as to obtain an Australian tourist visa before having to give it up) and saving all my spare cash, once we finally left the country... it all worked out.
