After a bit of planning, Christmas finally came around, and we had decided to rendezvous with Leah, Chris, and Wayne in London. Will was good enough to fly over for the occasion from Poland also. We decided that despite us being away from family at Christmas, the best idea was to all get together and enjoy each others company. So we met up at Le...

in a nutshell: Well, all good things come to an end and our 'grown-up gap year' is no different. We are now back London after flying out of Nairobi this morning. It's all still a bit strange & it definitely hasn't hit us quite yet that we're not actually going to be moving on to anywhere terribly exotic & exciting in the near future, rather it's...

After such a long flight, we have finally made it. chrissie is here to meet us, so good to see her! the tube was an easy ride to mick and kevi's place. just took it easy on the first day, went to the pub for tea and a couple of pints, which was the perfect night cap to put us to sleep. jet lag has not been too much drama. we trudged around town ...

Its 4:30 am. I'm wide awake and have nothing else to do! The sun is crazy here, sets at like 10pm and rises by 4:30am. Today we have to figure out where we are, find a cell phone, and catch a train to Bournemouth, England for Caryn's Class that starts tomorrow. More later.

Hello everyone... It is Joe and Meg reporting from London... It is Saturday 11pm here (6pm your time, 3pm Carrie's time). We are on the computers in our hostel... I like London a lot.. the locals are very cool and down to earth.. There are a lot of tourist around as well.. many different languages spoken.... We ate a good meal at a gay bar/restu...

One day to go until we zoom off to Hong Kong! The leaving party was a blast and we haven't packed yet, but it's getting exciting! We're leaving behind dark cold and snowy England for blue skies and sunshine...

This weekend I broke apart from my usual routine and met up with Alex in Torino to travel to London. While in London, we chilled with some close friends and met rather interesting people. Traveling with Alex produced some unbelievable stories and it wouldn't be fair to capture them all in one log. Therefore, I am breaking my London trip down int...

(Ok, so I'm back-dating a little bit - hope you'll forgive!) So my flight is at 9pm. Today I have finished packing my bag up, I weighed it - to check if I'd need to pay any extra baggage allowance. I know that my allowed weight is 20kg. My bag is 40kg. I rang up Virgin (who I'm flying to Johannesburg with) to check how much it will cost. 30 poun...

A lot of sad faces as we say our goodbyes to those leaving London for good. We all could've gone a few weeks more - we had such an awesome crew... Time for Pauls and I to make long term plans... but before allowing reality to set in, we make a last minute decision to join Ez and Carly on their 3-day Scotland tour... Boys head to Malta.
