Hello once again,<br><br>Thought we'd better back track and update from the last entry of Budda!<br><br>So we got back to Reading without any problems and picking up our hire car at Gatwick airport in the pouring rain. Drove back early in the morning and arrived back at Mat and Jo's around 11am.<br>The rest of the day was basically spent recovering from getting up at 4am to catch the flight back from Budda. Although we did manage to drag ourselves out of the house to go and watch the ...

... we watched a show every night except one and an English pub called the rising Sun where a pint of Boddingtons cost £2.60. Very reasonable I thought. Anyway for the first time in eleven days we were looking at rain and gloom, but by the time we got to the Railway Station is was brightening up a bit. the trip back to Scarborough and then on to Whitby was uneventful. We were home for 19:00.

After being with my uncle for a couple of weeks I headed to the New Forest to stay with friends of mum and dads for a while. They live in a beautiful part of the county, surrounded by a National Forest. Its full of wild horses, pigs, cows and donkeys.

Well hello there! Since the very beginning of this whole adventure I had been planning on writing one final mother of all blog entries, which would be full of grandiose statements on what I'd learned, lists of my favourite places, activities, meals etc, and philosophical musings on the world. Well, it is now almost a week that I have been back in England, and the truth is that such an entry ...

Finally, the weather in this country of rain has begun to (sliiiiiiightly) lighten, which means that once again my adventures outdoors could start up again. After a lively visit from a familiar face from home (Laura who I lived with in the dorms at CU and is currently residing in Barcelona) which did consist of me doing new things in London I still had not done. This included venturing into (finally!) the notorious Westminster Abby for a whopping 7 GBP! None the ...
