... time he sails his boat around the world.

Intrigued we asked him how he got first got into sailing and where he got his experience from. He told us he had sailed little skiffs when he was young but never really had experience on a yacht. He thought it would be fun to buy a yacht in Florida and learn to sail it around the Bahamas. He bought one for $15,000 and advertised for an experienced sailor to join him (and received hundreds of replies ...

final destination of Cerbere. Cerbere is a pretty fishing village with a beach and ...

WHAT THE BROCHURE SAID: This second day of riding is a big day that travels over the most feared cols in the Pyrenees,
but it is also some of the most spectacular riding. Firstly we have a nice gentle warm up to
Laruns, base camp to the stunningly beautiful Col D’Aubisque (1709m). The cafe on the top
provides a perfect ...

Oh well, onwards and upwards, literally.

Today is day 47 of the trek and there are 50 in total. I haven't had a rest day as yet and am feeling strong and fit enough to keep going. Hope to enjoy a few days on the beach before flying back on the 16th.

Love and light

... out so listened to some music and did some more typing. Then as it was bed time Juliette dropped the bombshell, she had to leave for work before 9 so would be getting up at half 7. When morning came some bleary eyed couch surfers rose and got ourselves ready. We received some tips from our host of things to see before we set off on our hitching for the day. A short walk shows us around the centre briefly but everyone decides after too long we should head to ...
