... are in the Montrose/Arbroath/Carnoustie metropolis. <br><br>Why has Lou-Anne not updated from Munich? Maybe following Lucys advice about beer und soft men?<br><br>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.

Back to London

... to see the sun rise over the Irish Sea...but I think i would have appreciated the sleep more!<br><br>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!

Sightseeing around the southern part of the island

... of the road, with a passenger on board, coming up to a blind corner...<br>It was really cool to see the whole track, and it's not hard to see why it's so popular with both cars and bikes, as the roads are great - a mix of high speed sweeping corners, long straights and tight hairpins, with plenty of elevation change thrown in.<br><br>Back at the house I had to pack my stuff into my bags, ready for the early morning ferry the next day.<br><br><br><br>Isle of Man ...

Watching racing around Douglas

... any reports were released regarding the incident. Later on in the evening it was reported that both the driver and passenger had been airlifted to hospital, and that both had sustained multiple broken bones, and were both in a pretty serious condition. It was rumoured, but not officially announced, that the sidecar had hit a rabbit, which caused the accident.<br><br>Overall it was a good days racing, and the weather was brilliant...at least on the parts of the island I was on, anyway.<br>

Over to Ramsey for my first day of racing.

... 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 ...

A bleak winter's evening in Douglas

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 ...

Isle of Man - my new home away from home

... so I made French toast for breakfast. I also baked an apple pie, because Katie had received a load of apples and we were just discussing my love of baking...so I got inspired! We then drove all around the island, where I got to see beautiful mountains, the sea, and even Ireland and England! We ate lunch outdoors at a quaint restaurant and headed north in the afternoon to visit a waterfall and the 'Calf of Man' - the Isle of Man's neighbouring baby island! We ...

The Isle of Man

... voyage tire sur sa fin! Le 14, retour a Glasgow pour que je reparte le 15 vers Ottawa. Etant donne que Zoom airlines a fait kaput, j'ai du me racheter un autre billet et c'etait le moins cher. Heureusement que mes parents se sont ennuyes assez pour accepter de venir me chercher a 2h30 de route. Merci:) Hamish ne revient que le 19 parce qu'il doit retourner chercher son passeport (si tout se passe bien il aura alors son visa de residence permanente).

exploring Castletown, Isle of Man

... of the rooms are intact, it has been possible to decorate the rooms in medieval style and the mannequins, featuring the nobles and notables of the time, add to the atmosphere. Again, here is a URL :- http://www.iomguide.com/castlerushen.ph p After a drink near the harbour, we went back to the boat for supper on board. A super day, all the better as it was unexpectedly good!
