The Wherry Hotel Norfolk

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 ...

... 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.

people that I will meet there.




Meeting up with my fellow traveller
Sarah at the airport, got a call from her this morning, again she is
excited, yet not as much as I imagined. I am sure that it will sink
in later today.

We decide to make a slow wander home – we stop a couple of times, first at Grimes Graves, which are flint mines that were dug over 5,000 years ago, and afterwards in Thetford to get some lunch, before returning home.

... are going to the bird reserve. By the time we get there we decide its lunchtime and they sell gorgeous Cornish pasties here, second only to the Cornish pasty shop in St Ives in Cornwall, so we sit and eat them before strolling round the reserve. Its very quiet on the bird front here today, we see various wading birds such as Curlews and Oyster Catchers, but other than that there isn’t much about. We walk out onto the beach at the bottom of the reserve because often ...

My mum and dad are both relatively well at the moment and decided that they wanted to treat us to a weekend away, so they booked a bed and breakfast in the village of Sporle.

The B&B is a real friendly place in nice surroundings. We drop our bag and ...

Today we had a big party at my Dad's allotment to say goodbye to us and to celebrate mine and my Dad's Birthdays. The weather was great and everybody turned up: Me, Mum, Dad, Katie, Carmel, Paul, Dan, Caroline, Craig, Shona, Rich, Gee, Becks, Pete, Linda and more. We all ate food drank beer and chatted till the sun went down then we lit a massive bonfire. By the time it had burnt down most people started filtering off home and it ...

Leaving home feeling more anxious than excited, my traveling buddy's dad gave us a lift to Heathrow. As we reached the airport we stepped out of the car and got ready to embark on a trip of a life time. Not really knowing what to expect in the next 5 months we said our good byes, boarded the plane and got ready for whatever the world might throw at us! One thing we did know..... it was going to be AWESOME!
