How does Jade feel? "Like we're going on holiday for a year", "This tea is really nice" "Hoping to see a naked man running through the airport with a banana"<br><br>How does Alice feel? "Gotta make the most of everything whilst we are away", "Can't wait for the sweating", "I ...

Two days left - still can't really believe we're going. Excited and also a bit nervous - how will we get from place to place especially around Cambodia and China?<br><br>Working our way through our final to-do list and just hoping not to have any last minute panics!!<br><br>Suppose it won't sink in until we're on the plane:)<br><br>Viv xx

Camping in Barnes Green was good fun. We set out for the night to test the new tent, awning and cooking gear. It was very cold and we eneded up caught in a thunder storm, but I'm glad to report the tent was suberb. It was dry inside and our sleeping bags also did the job. We were nice and snug inside and we had a big fry up for breakfast, so all in all a success! <br><br>We got our carnet yesterday, so we're pretty much ready to go! Roll on December 24th!

Well, what can we say! What a send off from the villagefolk at Lindfield. It was coincidentally Guy Fawkes night which is also a pretty big deal in England.<br>A grand parade of burning torches and witches led up to a bonfire and fireworks extrordinaire.<br>To top it off, a display of Morris dancing by the local chaps outside the White Lion. Wow, the locals really love us. Tomorrow we depart for Queensland.

... Every November 5th in Lewes this history comes to life, offering a rare glimpse into England&#8217;s past.<br><br>It was on the high street I found myself now, almost 450 years after the 17 Lewes men met their cruel fate. There are no less than seven bonfire societies in the town and each &#8211; Cliffe, Commercial Square, Lewes Borough, Nevill Juvenile, Southover, South Street, and Waterloo &#8211; spends 364 days of the year planning and preparing for the big night. Each bonfire ...

I came to Brighton after I got a tip from an internet weather forecast that it would be fine and sunny this weekend. I thought it would be good to get to the coast, enjoy the sun, the cool air and relax for a few days. Whoever said the internet was useful! I arrived on Friday afternoon after spending three days in London. I really feel very good in London, I don't know whether it's the hundreds of thousands of people all walking at different paces on the ...

... My first days in London were interesting and hectic, but proved to be a good bonding experience between myself and those around me. It seems everywhere I go, I make a home. By the time I'm done journeying, I imagine I'll have a home everywhere, which would suit me just fine. The class I am taking, introduction to art, has been teaching me more than just how to drag a pencil across paper. It surprisingly has opened my eyes to a new ...

... to confirm the place and time, I noticed an old guy with a large beard &amp; a Guinness beanie approaching. At every shopfront he would stop, rear back, and launch a thick wad of phlegm at the display window. "Look the other way, Liam. He won't notice you." I thought. "Kin ye help me with some moneh?!" I heard (or rather smelled) next to my ear. "Sorry mate, I just got here." I replied. A brief look of confusion flitted over the man's ruddy face. "Ahhright den." he breathed ...

... and enjoying life, Rat and his Dad built the conservatory. We both managed to get ****** admin jobs, in the same field as we were in before, and we are now back in the same house. Nothing changes. Its ****. I need to grab my pack and hit the roads again. This life is stifling and tedious. That's life. Rat however is quite content. I had a holiday 3 weeks after starting work. Is travel like a drug? Talking to people, them ...

... decent film on. I don't know if I'll be able to get internet access in China so you may not hear much from me for the first 3 weeks, so to give you something to look at, go onto intrepidtravel.com and enter in the trip code 'cse'. This is the tour that I'm doing in China. Anyway, fingers crossed everything goes ok tomorrow and the flights not delayed!
