Rock Point Inn Lyme Regis

We said goodbye to Joy yesterday evening which was a bit emotional. I can not wait to go myself right now. 11 Weeks and 3 days before I land in Rio. Not that I am counting!

I am yet again one step closer though: After booking the tickets, moving bedrooms, forever not trying to spend any money and Joy leaving already, I decided to tell work about my traveling plans. It was such a relief! Slowly but surely my time will come! Muahahaaa!

I had an extra long surf first thing in the morning before we headed off. Although it was small in I really enjoyed it. I had tried to convince Kim to stay for the forcasted HUGE swell in 2 days time but I knew that we had places to go and things to see and that it really was not on the cards. So it was time to head back east.

Despues de 6 años compartiendo nuestras vidas en este pequeño pueblo en Somerset, por fin dejamos el pais para volver a la terreta. Pero como podreis comprobar, no va a ser un vuelo directo, nos vamos a desviar un poquito, y vamos a dar la vuelta al mundo en 60 dias. Os ...

... had lunch of crab sanwiches just off the Cobb and a walk along to find to our dismay a couple of mad Pommees actually swimming in the sea!! Unbelievable.

Back through Dorchester to have a look at Prince Charles pet product at Poundberry, a "modern" development that looks like a prison and promises to be a blight on the landscape as a slum in 50 years time. Back home through the fog and out in the evening to be ...

Well this trip has surely turned out to be a bit of a none starter, I allowed myself 6 weeks to get to the scillies and back, in my mind ample time and
thoughts of balmy sunny days drifting down the coast,taking in some of my childhood haunts and enjoying instead of ice creams and endless pop, wonderful seafood dish's washed down with my own cellars wines
which I have on board.
How far wrong was I well after the disasterous rounding ...

I started writing on the plane:
"Just been reminded of Tom's pronounciation of 'Phuket' (read '****it'). Quite funny and it makes me giggle.

The actual start of the journey was a little bit of a nervous one. We sort of managed to get the departure time of our coach wrong and we left the house a little bit late. Shirls digged out her organisation skills and so we found out that the ...

Way back in 1973 my wife and I were living in Hull, East Yorkshire, from where we set off in our tiny Datsun Cherry loaded with camping gear to look at 'The Continent'. We went via Dover ferry to Belgium, Luxembourg, France & Germany to Switzerland. We camped beside Lake Thun, at Gwatt and after a few days respite decided to go over the Grimsel and Furka passes into Italy, then France and return via Netherlands. Unfortunately the Grimsel and Furka, even in mid June were both ...

... grapefruit priced at a Co-op shop in Basel, en
route, scared us into living very frugally whilst in that country! So
we missed out on the wonderful transport opportunities of rail,
cablecars and lake ferries!

Since that visit we have always dreamed that we would one day return, hopefully more able to avail ourselves of the different forms of transport. During those years a chap ...
