Travelodge Portsmouth

Hello everybody <br><br>We are still alive and well. We are in Cambodia at the moment. Apoligies for not sending any travel blogs for a while. As we're are trying to do 2 blogs at the same time it has become too much to keep both of them going simultaneously, so this one has been neglected for a while. If any of you are interested in our travels I can add your email ...

... Guy Fawkes is basically a celebration of the foiled attempt to blow up the houses of Parliament many many years ago. So we spent the night setting off fire works, eating burgers and hotdog, drinking some beer and wine! It wasn't without incident with the he fire works though! I managed to stand in the way of a rocket, but luckily no damage was done!<br><br>That's basically all that happened and what we did before we jumped on the train to London and the start of the trip around Europe!

... and a cider at a pub! I walked in with my bike pants on and riding top.. looked a bit wild I think.. everyone just turned around and stared!! lol The lunch was huge.. big slices of ham off the bone, a bagette, salads and their home made relish.. yum but it was a long ride home!! And I nearly got run over.. lol. I went to dodge a squirrel running across the road, laughed and swirved to miss him and a car came around the corner just at the same ...

... 8211; it was a bit noisy.<br>We were reminded how lucky and safe we have been when the campervan following us into the park collected the corner of the toilet block roof, and spread it around a bit &#8211; just after the manager warned us about that very thing.<br>Final arrangements tonight to get rid of the bikes and get to the airport by 4 to hand over the vehicle, then the plane at 10 PM. <br><br>

... Bangor, Northern Ireland which gave the shore team two days to make our way to Oban. Shortly after leaving Milford Haven Clare and I in the back of the motorhome heard from Normski in the fronts "I think we might have a small problem". He turned the bus around and headed back in search of his bedroom window which he now believed to be missing! Sure enough a thousand pieces of it were found along the dual carriageway. Leaving the window as irreparable we continued and ...

We predicted a bad ferry crossing due to high winds, so took sea-sickness tablets before boarding. However they didn't work for me, within half an hour of the journey I was vomiting. Dad had chosen where we would sit, which was right at the front of the ferry, watching the waves splash up over the windows as we were rocked about. It really felt like a rollercoaster ride, but lasted longer than 30 seconds. I thought the front was probably not the best place to ...

... trip that should have taken us around 15 hours now ended up taking us 25 hours. The rain together with the wind was like getting sand blasted in the face and the rain drops felt like needles in my eyes. It was nice to get into Dover for an anchordrum as my captain calls it. After a rough sea you have to calm your stomach and senses with ...

We have been back in England a week now and unfortunately it feels like we have never been away. The flight home was as horrible as we expected but a nine hour economy flight at 2am in the morning was never going to be good. Jo's Mum, Nigel and her sister picked us up after waiting an age to get our bags and before we knew it ...
