The Old Bridge Huntingdon

... understand.Will tell her 3 weeks before we go.I suspect she wll be very excited. She wasn't however very excited about her jabs-I had to hold her down for the second and it was horrid.Done now though and another thing ticked off the famous list.

My friends have been fantastic in their support and many have downloaded ...

Approximately 2 years ago Nicholle and I made our way to UKSA (United Kingdom Sailing Academy) on The Isle of Wight. This was where this whole journey began. We instantly became close friends, and supported each other through all the trials and tribulations of the fabulous yachting industry! Maybe a year ago we both got talking about how much we have always wanted to travel, and finally the dream is coming true. Bit ...

A quick update. Things have moved on, including us. We're pleased to report that a few days ago Brian the van was declared healthy, after some serious re-constructive surgery!

On Monday we left Norfolk and began a series of public transport journeys that would take us from Norwich to London, London to Cheltenham (to visit with friends for a couple of nights) and then Cheltenham to Birmingham to finally pick up our beloved Brian. We ...

*The hotel on the square isn't cheap - 800euro for a small room, up to 10000 Euro for a room suitable for the likes of Madonna or Tom Cruise. There is a way to stay for free - win the Tour De France! The winner gets to stay there for 3 days, and fly the flag of their nation above the hotel. Lance Armstrong chose to fly the Texan star instead of the stars and stripes.

*Under the Arc De Triumphe is the tomb of the unknown soldier and the ...

... the morning. We still haven't finalised our hotel in Delhi, but we're not panicking! Apparently the booking arrangements will only be finalised on Wednesday. Still the hotel gets excellent reviews and is a good price, so we want to stay there if we can.

We've got our netbook working now (phew), so our next post will be from India.

... girls. A friend's daughter is a talented singer, so we headed out to watch her perform, have a couple of bevvies and catch up with Uncle Alan, who stopped by to say hello before heading to work.

Saturday was a very relaxed day. We did our packing - i can't believe how much stuff we've picked up along the way!, finished the washing and had a nap. Then around 2ish ...

... the first two already - we naturally haven’t. However, the last is beyond our control as we wait for the paid professional services to organise the sales in the chain.
We know that we have a lot to do and pressure of impending deadlines is a strong motivator, but the total uncertainty of the completion timeline for the flat is horribly unnerving. What happens if the solicitor in the middle doesn ...

... the hop on/hop off bus. Cambridge is a university city and many discoveries have been made here. We drove past the library that houses the first edition of Winnie the Pooh, the largest permanent American WWII burial ground, the women's universities that still only allow women to register! Sadly enough women did were allowed to attend Cambridge ...

... cafes have been worthwhile (it takes 5 mins to upload every photo to the site you know, work that one out!) So now its over. A big part of us has always beleived that life is too short and you never know what's around the corner. We seized the opportunity, took the brave step of quitting our jobs, renting our house out and giving our dog away (temporarily!). There is a saying that you should make the most of every day. We can honestly say, that's what we've done.

... basic sort of place, in keeping with the neighbourhood. Just outside is the Hollywood Walk of Fame - the pavement with the stars on it. I'm not sure I would want my name associated with this sort of area, especially if I was a great big movie star. The hostel is a bit quiet with a few people sitting around watching TV in the lounge. Jetlag seems to have passed me by largely but I am a bit knackered as it is 4am London time, even though it is only 8pm here.
