Hello everybody <br><br>We are still alive and well. We are in Cambodia at the moment. Apoligies for not sending any travel blogs for a while. As we're are trying to do 2 blogs at the same time it has become too much to keep both of them going simultaneously, so this one has been neglected for a while. If any of you are interested in our travels I can add your email ...

After being with my uncle for a couple of weeks I headed to the New Forest to stay with friends of mum and dads for a while. They live in a beautiful part of the county, surrounded by a National Forest. Its full of wild horses, pigs, cows and donkeys. They just walk around the forest, across roads etc. So its a bit dangerous.. well i think so anyway.<br><br>I went for lots of bike rides through the forest, some in the forest itself and some along the ...

Visited this town while I was visiting my Uncle in Portsmouth. Its a lovely little place, well not little but seems about the size of Newcastle. Not that I have seen its outskirts etc.<br><br>When I arrived I went to have a look at the old wall and the old castles etc set up by Henry the VI I think. But it started to pour down so I went ...

... 5 and went to bed. DAY 2 A bumpy night, the wind was now force 7-8. We managed to get up for breakfast. The conservatory was not very busy due to the weather conditions. We both went to the Spanish lessons at 10am to book our course for the cruise. We met interesting South African gentleman by the name of Henry who explained the origin of the "100 club "It appears that he was on the Aurora World Cruise a few years ago when the news came of ...

... December We plan to have Christmas lunch with our son Alan and his girlfriend Jordy in Derby, so we have arranged the hire of a car for a week or so, as we also intend to do some traveling to the south of England between Christmas and New Year. Gail has wanted to visit the medieval city of Chester again, especially at Christmas time to see the city lights, so in the afternoon we set off from Warrington and easily find our way there and park up and walk into the main city ...

... people will buy. The rest went to charity. Before we knew it September had crept up on us and, although we had managed to collate a slimmed down list of our planned itinerary (from 50+ countries down to 44), we were still in debt, driving a desk, and no closer to booking a start date for our big adventure...we decided it was time to bite the bullet and commit to a date. We ventured into STA Travel on Saturday 10th September and what ...
