The Bath Hotel Reading

... the infamous round table with all the knights names and apparently a pic of King Henry?? I need to check that one and update this entry.

Pete made it without an issue and it was a lovely day for driving as well. I looked around the shops and had lunch in the Cathedral shop and of course took some pictures and read about some of the history or Wincester!

... and having fun, but all in a foreign language. I may need some last minute pre-departure therapy....

The Run
Colin's training has also been hampered by seasonal ailments, and of course the onset of The Second Great Flood. He is confident that he will complete the course, however, and anyone who knows him will agree that he is certainly stubborn enough to keep to his word, provided, that is, that he ...

- Charades at the Laundrette, especially Huss´s version of "Vanilla Sky"
- Being asked by an 18 year old why I chose Contiki as I am much older than the rest of the group(!!). I am still well within the designated age bracket!! God! I am not dead yet!

... so anything that did happen can't have been too serious and for anything that did go wrong, I can assure you that there are probably at least ten times as many things that didn't due to the help and concern of the locals who would always look out for me. Travelling alone may be to your advantage here as there is always someone who is ready to look after you as if you were their own daughter. Has my approach to travelling changed since I started ...

... institutions stats up. This is why i have decided to go travelling the world; i feel like while i stay in a situation where people have expectations of me, or ideas of "who i am", i will never be able to actually figure out who i am and what i want. For this reason i have decided to travel alone. How do i think travelling will help me change? well i dont know if it will but ill sure have fun trying, and hopefully i will meet some nice people along ...

Morning folks! Just waiting for check-in to open so thought I'd get in to the habit of tryping whilst waiting. Also getting used to a bit of sleep deprivation, not my favourite activity but one I guess I'll also have to get used to. There are a couple of snorers around, the joy of ...

... else I've been, and different experiences too. It gave me the chance to become part of the local community, absorbed into the culture, and hopefully bring a bit of happiness and knowledge to some of the children there too. People were very friendly, if a little wary to start with, and it was an experience in itself just to be a minority race. I cant say it was easy- but it wasnt meant to be.

... alcohol on that leg.[After all it was early morning and we were chasing the sun so when we arrived it was not much later than when we left.] Approaching Bahrain in the morning sun all we could see was desert. Low hills of yellow sand receding into the distance just like in the movies of this part of the world. As we neared the runway, scattered along the edge of the water were scores of grey brick boxes...homes to many Bahrainians no doubt. Somewhere over the horizon was a modern ...

... of one's problems originates in oneself. This is not always something you are willing to acknowledge, and requires a degree of personal honesty which can take some time to develop (and is in fact an ongoing development). Not that I am for one moment now claiming to have all the answers, but as they say in the Tesco advert, 'every little helps'. A little bedtime story... One day you're cycling along and you meet an old man on the road, on his way back from the ...
