... are in the Montrose/Arbroath/Carnoustie metropolis.
Why has Lou-Anne not updated from Munich? Maybe following Lucys advice about beer und soft men?
By the way, what is with the German men and their mullets. I haven't see hair that flamboyant since my brother in law pitched up at the Binnies wedding (circa early 90s) looking like a Bay City Rollers tribute band.
... to see the sun rise over the Irish Sea...but I think i would have appreciated the sleep more!
It was off the boat at Liverpool, where I had 3 1/2 hours to get to the bus station. It took me about 45 minutes to get there (including a stop for a cornish pasty for breakfast) but i was so knackered that I couldn't be ***** looking around, so I just killed the time in the bus station. 5 1/2 hours on the bus, then about 50 minutes on the tube and I was back home!
... the island! It must bring a massive amount of money into the economy each year, and there are also other similar events such as the Manx Grand Prix, which is also very popular with the bikers around Europe.
I walked up to the pits around lunchtime for a bit of a look around, then it was back down to the waterfront to walk across to the main bus station where I hopped on a bus to Port Erin. It was another scenic bus ride which went along the south-east ...
Today it was off to Bray Hill, where I stood at the bottom of a fast right hander with a dip, shortly after the start line. Despite the weather appearing beautiful where I was, on the west side of the island it was raining, and later hailing, meaning that the first race of the day was postponed by a few hours. Annoying, but what can you do..
To pass the time I walked up to the pits area, just behind the grandstand. I was surprised at the expense that many of the teams went to...all of ...
... race from was a tight right hander into a more open left as they built up speed. I saw one near collision between two of the bikes midway through the right hander, in an overtaking manoeuvre gone bad, and another rider nearly came off after hitting the curb on the fast exit of the left hander. Unfortunately, a Kiwi rider, Bruce Anstey, who was leading the race by a decent margin, bowed out with ...

After lunch at a pub called the Duke of Rothesay, I went down to the ferry terminal...only to discover I was 2 minutes late checking in - despite being there earlier than what the ticket and Steam Packet website said...
As one can imagine this was rather annoying, as despite being able to catch the next ferry ...
Hello readers. I'm Tom, and this is my travel blog. At the moment, I am an A-level student, in my final year of study. I have applied to university, but I've decided it'd be better for me to take a year out. So thats what I'm planning for the next year of my life, to travel to various countries and continents, embarking on mostly voluntary work. Alongside my studies, I am an athlete, competing over 800m. Through this sport, I have ...
Douglas, Isle of Man, United Kingdom tjr17... stopped talking and stared at me in shock! Ooops!! Another thing about the Manx, which might have even shocked me more, is that they share one of our 'ever-so-unique' Quebec signature dishes....the poutine!! I couldn't believe it, I thought it was ours, and only ours! Although they call their dish 'chips, cheese and gravy' (how original...haha), it's pretty much exactly the same, minus the curds. Unbelievable! I actually tasted it for lunch, and it wasn't half bad!
Douglas, Isle of Man, United Kingdom canadianjulieL'ile du Man, mon troisieme voyage dans cette petite place! Comme j'ai pratiquement tout vu ce qu'il y a a voir a l'ile du Man, nous avons profite de notre sejour chez les parents de Hamish pour surtout marcher. Une journee nous avons pris l'autobus pour aller visiter un village pittoresque (Gregneash a la genre village d'antan de Drummonville). Sinon, temps de rattraper le temps perdu avec les amis de H, passer du temps avec sa mere... et ouf ...
Douglas, Isle of Man, United Kingdom hamishandjulie... seas it was far too choppy and chunder-inducing to contemplate consuming their over-priced food. I had my head in a bag most of the time back... wasn't actually sick though, thanks to Mum's expert trick, sucking on an ice cube. In the meantime Dad and Joey had taken to the ...
