... I somewhat resemble a tortoise, carrying my home, rucksack-shaped on my back I thought that it was a somewhat apropriate title, lets just hope I have a little more luck than he in certain departments.<br><br>So my bags are packed, and that damn Greenday Jetplane song won't stop whirling around in my mind. Although no doubt the easiest song to learn on the guitar my retarded fingers haven't quite been whipped into shape. The idea is that after three months, on a ...

... dinner was scheduled for 7pm. Our room sucked, we had a double bed and when we went down to sort it out, we were told that the fold our couch was the 2nd bed...oh great. What ****. Our tour director didn't seem at all interested in helping sort out the bed, so we decided just to try the double bed. So when the hotel people came to make up the bed at 6.50pm we told them to forget it. To be honest we paid for 2 beds, twin ones..and later we ...

... church was built and they had his bones for 300 years before a beautiful chapel was built to house his mortal remains. For Bede, life was brief but held the knowledge of the mercy of Christ. He liked the English and wrote the first history of the English speaking people. I love his prayers but he is not in that black stone box; he flew to the light of his Lord long before the first stone was laid for Durham&#8217;s great Cathedral.<br><br> We got to Durham at 2 pm ...

... last several days we&#8217;ve only been traveling around 50km. At least if we were making headway I could be looking forward to France. At this point, it looks like we&#8217;ll be stuck here until October!<br><br>Finally reaching the top, we embarked on the first significant downward section of the day. The wind was so strong that it kept pushing us back and forth across the pavement as the road twisted and turned. Thank goodness there was ...

... ensolarado, mesmo a temperatura maxima nao tendo passado de 3 graus. Ceu azul, sol brilhando (nas poucas horas que ele passa por aqui) e ruas congeladas. Passei meu dia observando a beleza das diferencas. As calcadas escorregadias, os carros cobertos com estranhos padroes e desenhos formados pelo gelo, pequenas fontes de agua congeladas nas casas, flores que insistem em resistir a ...

We awoke in Edinburgh to the nicest, sunniest day yet. That wouldn't last for long. After missing our turn, we were nearing the castle before deciding to turn back and walk quite a distance downhill to the train station. It had no garbage cans. Jeannette broke the law by being charitable to a pigeon (aka "flying rat"). Fortunately, she escaped arrest and/or ejection. After a short breakfast we boarded our GNER train ...

... address if you "forget" your password. So even when I was changing the passwords, he was able to reset them each time. (Make sure yours are set to your back up or partner, friend or whatever just in case!) The police came round this morning to take a statement and all of the information I was able to gather. I was able to trace via an email address in one of the earlier PayPal purchases to a website and think that we have the name and phone number of the hacker ...

... next morning I awoke with a rush to catch the 753 train to Middleborough (sp?) and then to Darlington, and then to Durham to check out the Cathedral... Durham is a little town situated on two hills that flank a river that winds through the valley... I toured the cathedral, saw the tomb of the Venerable Bede, and then went and climbed to the top, up a spiral staircase, emerging on the roof of ...

I quit my temping job at North Tyneside Council a week ago now and despite having a week to sort stuff out, I still found myself in the situation where I was packing everything until the early hours of this morning. Travelling with me, at least in part, will be David Howell from Islington, London, Robert Bell from Rotherham, Yorkshire, Melanie Keats from Much Wenlock, Shropshire and Leila Anderson from Barnet, London. We all attended the University of Leeds studying ...

... And just beyond the trees are the houses of the town of Ratho. If one looks closely enough, one can see the townspeople beginning their day. About that time, some of the other employees of Ratho Hall drive up the long driveway to start their work day. They enter through the front door, letting in with them a burst of moisture heavy, sweet smelling air. That air mixes with the scent of breakfast being prepared in the kitchen. The combined scent works its way up the ...
