3 weeks to go.............
It feels mad just typing that, but anyway, welcome to the first of hopefully many blogs that me (Joe) and Laura will be writing during our year out. It still doesn't feel real at the moment (I don't think it will until we get to the airport), the best part of 2 years preparation and planning is now only 3 week...
It's Monday the 8th of March and I'm writing this on my lunch break at work. In exactly 3 weeks time, Myself (Phil) Glynny and Aspy will actually be on our way to travel the world. Scary stuff.
Preparations are going well, all of our passports are currently down in London somewhere with the Vietnam embassy. Next (and last) Visa to get b...
My first blog! Sorry it took so long, I'll try to be more diligent about this!
Keele is great! I'm having a lot of fun, meeting some nice people and enjoying setting up my life at school. I feel very independent, I think it is due to making my own dinners. Hopefully I'll be more creative and maybe make something other than lentils!

Australia Day 2010 in Liverpool Land.
We celebrated Australia Day in traditional Oz style. Had a BBQ, (even though it was snowing outside), drank a couple of cans of Fosters, and was going to watch Croccodile Dundee but we had already seen it on TV the week before, so settled in to watch Baz Luhrmann's, 'Australia'.
We wore o...
Going back to Switerland
The plane was living from Manchester airport at 11.30am, so we took the train two hours before and went directly there.
I had to perform an amazing gymnastic with my bag, because for some reason the straps were a problem (it wasn't the case three days before...) and I had to queue two times, one for th...
Ouch:
We woke up at about noon with what was probable my worst hangover for months, in those case, not that much solution: Take some fresh air (not to hard in December, especially in northern England), try to eat something and wait...
We took the train back to the city centre (that was probably the hardest part...), and after h...
Morning glory shopping:
As we went quite early in bed the night before, and were completely overboosted by the perspective of the game later in the day, we woke up at about 9am in top form. We headed directly to the city centre to enjoy a well needed english breakfast in one really nice restaurant. Then we had until 2pm to do again some...
Looking for Salford Quays
After a 90 minutes flight from Geneva, we landed at Manchester airport at about 11am. We then jumped in the first train that goes into the city, and then hopefully near our hotel in Salford Quays. The only suprise we had on the train was to note the the train were not electric, but working with diesel engine. I...
Up at 6am ready for Bob to collect us for the 30 mile drive from Michael's house in Warrington to Southport where we arrived for an 8.30pm start. The route is one of the standard rides around the country - we had both previously cycled the more northern coast to coast (Whitehaven to Sunderland) a few years earlier and had thoroughly enjoyed it, ...
Southport, England, United Kingdom bromwichIn the Manchester Train Station Perhaps again I have found myself in a place far too difficult for me. As these situations come along, I can sit here and weep, however the complaint doesn't last long because I have inflicted upon myself these scenarios. I make life much more difficult than it could be. I have everything anyone could ever imagine...
