Best Western Shrubbery Hotel Taunton

We said goodbye to Joy yesterday evening which was a bit emotional. I can not wait to go myself right now. 11 Weeks and 3 days before I land in Rio. Not that I am counting!

I am yet again one step closer though: After booking the tickets, moving bedrooms, forever not trying to spend any money and Joy leaving already, I decided to tell work about my traveling plans. It was such a relief! Slowly but surely my time will come! Muahahaaa!

Well 7 weeks to GO!!!!


June is still busy buying clothes can't keep her out the shops. We are busy trying to set up all the systems we need in place and staff what they need to do in our absence.

Great finding so many people interested in what we will be doing and where we are travelling to.

Just want to get Junes problem sorted at the hospital they are messing us about. Got heavy with them today.

Watch out for the next update.

... the x-ray machine. I just thought it would save a lot of hassle if we just lay on the rollers and went through yourself.
After I got the all clear I went off to the departure lounge and then finally boarded the plane. My trip this time is going from Bristol to Paris to Salt Lake City, which is a lot better than the route I took in the summer.
The flight to Paris went really quick. By the time we got settled it seemed like we were there. My next flight to Salt Lake City was ...

Well - being in Cardiff was good since it is the closest airport, being on a 2-hr drive to the hotel. But had to wait about an hour for the rental car place to open up.

At least I got to go through the visitor information brochures and grab a bite at Burger King.

... but i dont want to
spend to much money and also want to learn to travel about the Island
on public transport!!



Getting a bit nervous about flying though cuz last time i went on a
plane the turbalance was so bad that some people were sick and crying
and even the cabin crew got scared. Right Adiois Amegos here i come
Gran Canaria **SUNSHINE** :-D

I had an extra long surf first thing in the morning before we headed off. Although it was small in I really enjoyed it. I had tried to convince Kim to stay for the forcasted HUGE swell in 2 days time but I knew that we had places to go and things to see and that it really was not on the cards. So it was time to head back east.

a walk to the train station in tournai, a train to lille, then another train to caines, then a walk to the ferry terminal, then a ferry to dover, and then two busses to bristol, and then a ride from the coach station to the farm. whoo hoo made it. 11 hrs and 70 BS later. but it was the only option without spending more money...

there was not much of a view on the ...

... quite a bit later.
Once on the coach (a whole hour and fifteen minutes later) I fell asleep in no time. So so tired!

At the moment I am sitting in seat 70D which is the last row of seats in the plane and I will be sat here for the next 11 hours. So far Thai boxing and the Phi Phi Islands have been recommended. I hope to visit both of them.


And the adventure has begun..."

Ilminster Visited the beautiful little town/village of Ilminster today, whilst visiting my great Aunty Joan. The weather stayed dry, and warm, so we walked down into the centre and had a look around. cobled stone roads, tiny little boutique shops and a beautifully restore 11th century church. It's a heritage-listed town so it remains very original to the middle to post-middle ages. But there is a Tesco's behind the town centre. What I#ve noticed ...

... I let him know that I don't watch football (I almost called it soccer), and he went back to his game. After a moment he turned around and asked where I'm from, so I told him and we began to talk about my trip. We chatted for a little while over a few pints, and just as he was ranting about how foreigners shouldn't be allowed to come into the country to work unless they speak English, a group of 6 Polish guys appear out of nowhere and establish ...
