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 ...

So...

I've finished work and moved out of London, all in the same 24 hours. Feeling slightly emotional, leaving work was harder than I anticipated, I wonder how they will get on on Monday morning without me...OK I hope. Moving out the flat came and went in a bit of a hungover blur- probably a good thing I think! Can't believe I no longer had a place down there to call my own, from now on my ...

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!

... fireplace (with built-in space heater), and lots of bookcases. And she doesn't have a roommate!

And the grounds at her college, Trinity College, are just amazing.

The old town where the college is located is full of old world beauty and charm.

Tomorrow we say our goodbyes to her and head to London to our hotel for the night so we can get on our plane bright and early Sunday morning...see you all soon!

... br>to the fact that I am excited, yet not bouncing around like a little
school child that is going to Devon on a school trip. And again I am
worried as I haven't booked a place to stay in Bangkok, yet I feel
quietly confident that I will be OK. Just looking forward to the
smells of Bangkok and the emotions that I will be feeling while I am
out there, not including the ...

... br>From Cambridge we decided to go and pay Helen's Aunt a visit, simply on the basis she has pet Chickens and a couple of Dogs I adore. On the way, we stopped off for lunch at Mildenhall and Lakenheath, two small towns that are fairly boring...except they are pretty much a part of the USA. Most of the cars are American, most of the population are, and the huge Jets ...

I can barely put the trip notes down for excitement, all the many things to see and do.
