I'm not even sure I can remember everything we did these two days, but here goes:
Michael, Melena and I arrived in London the morning of October 26th and went immediately to the hotel to leave our luggage. Continuing our theme of flying by the seat of our pants, we had booked the room on Laterooms.com. I chose this one; Michael chose the one for Paris. The Winchester was a very adequate hotel. It is not fancy, but the location couldn't be beat: it is located on what I call "hotel row" ...

The title is the most awful joke in the world so blame my sisters for thinking of that and keeping it in my head!
OK so tomorrow is my big day. No im not getting married, im going away to India....to travel. As you guys already know (because i haven't stopped talking about it since April!) im starting off in Goa for 3 months doing a project teaching kids on a ...
Today several Trussell Trust staff and volunteers have bruised upper arms from loading hundreds of boxes filled with a reocrd breaking 3800+ Christmas Shoeboxes onto a rather large lorry... The bruises were worth it to see the lorry pull away and begin its 2,450km trip to Bulgaria to transform thousands of Christmases.
We have to say a huge thankyou to all those who donated boxes and to all those hardy souls who braved the cold in ...
... hall of our hotel
- Room parties (very annoying and inconsiderate)
- A certain someone continuously groping certain females, even though his girlfriend was on tour (and most of the said females loving it)
- The same certain someone continuously taking photos of girls boobs and other private parts (and the girls loving it)
Interesting Moments
- Wife-swapping
- Interesting navigation on the bus (ie remember the journey from Rome after dinner ...
... end of the tour (anonymously). All the pieces of paper get collected by the Tour Manager and he read them out. It was pretty funny, for example, one of the secrets was that one of the guys was so randy in Pisa, he decided to go to the toilets and relieve himself instead of actually seeing the leaning tower. Not quite what I was expecting!
We made it back to London around 7pm, said our goodbyes ...
Hello,
Basically just testing to see if this works, and also cos Rhys told me to do this now. Also, I wanted Alton to appear as a little dot on our map thing. Anyways, we're off on sunday, looking forward to it, and I'm sure we'll miss you all! Bye for now!

Booked flight today - Guatemala on Feb 22nd 2010. So to mark the occasion I thought I'd start my travel diary today as well.
Two months to go - and a lot of list-making, planning, shopping, getting vaccinated, freaking out, and bouncing with excitement to do!
... those changes to disappear into thin air. Hopefully this won't prove to be the case. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks to anyone who read even a little of the blog. At last count it had 2251 hits which, despite the probable fact that half of those were my own, was far more than I had expected at the outset. Well that's it, a final "adios" from the grey and rainy shithole that is England. x
Winchester, England, United Kingdom elltrev... fittings to prepare food (roast pigs, brick oven for baking, meat room, ale cellar etc) in medieval times, and diagrams and labels to go along with it. The height of the rooms seemed strange as well(even though it was purely for ventalation and air circulation purposes at the time). All the buildings had incredible wooden beams( Michael was extremely impressed with their age and intactness). The church inside the hospital area was shaped differently than most ...
