Hey Everyone... if you're reading this then it means we remembered to hand out the log on details for our blog and you're missing us already, enough to have bothered to log on before we're even left Manchester! ; )<br><br>As most of you are aware today, Tuesday 1st December, at 6:45pm Paul and I will embark on our 'BIG ADEVENTURE' with a BA flight to Heathrow, London!<br ...

After 3 years of saving we are finally set to go travelling to Eastern and Southern Africa. We will arrive in Uganda and head to Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Victoria Falls and possible Madagascar before flying back in June 2010.

<br>Ah, I have been falling behind in my updates. My weeks have been a little busy as of late due to one test, the discovery of Farmville, never returning to netball, and the true experience of English culture in the form of various bar crawls. I&#8217;m a very busy girl&#8230;<br><br>I can&#8217;t remember where I last left off and due to the lack of wireless Internet cannot access the update in my kitchen. I suppose I&#8217;ll ...

Well I am happy to report that despite postal strikes I have my passport back and a multiple entry visa stamp inside.<br>I was so relieved to have the passport back.I really do not like to be parted from it.<br>All I have to do now is get through the next 4 weeks at work.Oh well I am sure I will manage.<br>Bye for now.

... whilst the woman next to me was definitely fidgety on both occasions too. Now call me cynical, but WTF have they got to be worried about, eh? They're obviously saved already, they have just been on a pilgrimmage, surely they're going to be well in with the Big Man? Unless of course there's something they ain't telling us? <br><br>But anyway, either the prayers work or Airbus Industry do their job or something like that and we land ...

... she hadn't backed the winner as she had already planned what she was going to spend her winnings on! What a lot of cash she would have had to spend if she had backed the winner at 100-1!! <br><br>We had a great day, very tiring but good fun - made even better on the bus on the way back to the carpark. Mon Mome was just leaving in his horse box so we got to have a close look through the horsebox window!

... got some lunch, then Justine, Sarah, and I said goodbye to the others and headed back to the hostel to check into our room for the night. We went out to a noodle bar that our receptionist at the hostel suggested which was awesome!! Then we walked around the city and stopped by the Cavern again. We headed to bed early because we needed to wake up at 4 the next morning to catch our bus to the airport for Dublin!!

... journey - so I went upstairs to sleep on the lopsided mattress Kevin had assigned me, paranoid I was going to get eaten alive by bedbugs. Morning came and I got up as Carsten chimed "Let's get the f*** out of this s***hole". I nodded agreement and we made as much noise as possible, making sure that we woke up all the Russians that kept us up half the night turning on lights and having full-blown conversations with each other. And so into the city we went with every intention of ...

... kept us cracking up the entire ride! When we got to Liverpool we went to Asda (like Walmart) and then picked up some fish and chips for me and fried rice (in the same shop!) for Katie. Katie went to so much effort to organize all her friends and everything for this night out, she's the best!! The meeting place was Wetherspoods (pub) and I got to meet all of Katie's friends, I knew Becki from when we met in New Zealand ...

... chosen and built between 1962 and 1967, and therefore completed eleven years earlier than the Liverpool Cathedral. Both are very different and while I was mesmerized by the Liverpool Cathedral, Brian was taken by the light and space of the Metropolitan Cathedral, however both are magnificent as you can see by the photos.
