P and J Hotel Nottingham

Wow - only one week to the day before we make our way down south to London town to stay in the very affordable 'heathrow' travel lodge.

Just wanted to say thank you to Ron and Sue for ...

... raining still!

It has been a bit of a blur today, as well as the Royal Marsden we have been to Addenbrookes in Cambridge, THe Queen Elizabeth in Birmingham and now I am sitting in a cosy front room in Sheffield with a real fire!
I am excited about tomorrow as we will be going back to my home town of Newcastle. Yippee!!
I have taken a few pictures of the day.

Finally worked out my route.

Fly to Armenia, travel through Georgia to Turkey and fly from Istanbul to Mumbai. Work my way across to Calcutta and fly to Bangkok. Through Thailand and Cambodia to Vietnam, then onto China.

I am setting off early September 2010 and aim to be in China early December, maybe.

And then I have to get back...

... who has come to return us to normality.

Normality? Whatever’s that going to be? The stay in Portugal may have offset any kind of celebratory homecoming or did it help to ease us gradually back down to earth, after what has undoubtedly been the adventure of a lifetime? We’ve seen fantastic sights and experienced amazing things that will stay with us forever. This was a trip that was only in our dreams and was never ...

Hi all, Well it has been a while since our last entry. We have done many many things since arriving here in Nottingham. Among them are finding a flat to live in, getting a bank account, getting a job for Heidi and finding a church. These are some on the few things that we have been doing here. Unfortunately it has not all been smooth sailing. There was quiet a few unforseeable problems with the flat including no hotwater, no washing machine (the real ...

... in the YHA having a little Relax for an hour or two before dinner. We've both washed our hair and are wearing clean clothes after discovering a laundry at Ilam Hall last night - long overdue, I must say! We've made our plans for the rest of the week (pre-London) and all that remains now is dinner (stirfry & rice from Tesco), some postcard writing, and bed.
