Same old country, brand new friends

6:00am. So today the greatest adventure of my life was about to begin, but I wasn't thinking about Thailand...I was preoccupied by the fact that, in less than an hour, a girl who I'd never met (if you don't count chatting on facebook) was going to turn up at my front door so that we could drive...

The balloon fiesta.

After a bit of a sleep in and a lazy morning we head into Bristol city to show Luke about and do a little shopping. We caught the bus into the city centre where we then made our way to the ‘ferry café’ that we really love for a cup of coffee and hot chocolate. Now feeling revived and more...

Back to Bristol we go

It was an early start today for our trip back to Bristol. We had a quick breakfast and while Chris netted it up looking into the cost of up coming trips, Luke and I made a quick stop at the post office to send some goodies home, which of course cost a small fortune. It was a quick tube trip...

Burger King and Garod Butler (and Katherine Heigl)

It takes a little while to get into the swing of a different time zone and we were up early really when Luke found he could no longer sleep, so after our free continental breakfast we made our way to Leicester Square, an area which both Chris and I like and thought Luke would too, and as we...

Day 1: Londres-Harwick

Excelente! Terminamos de empacar! De alguna forma, pudimos terminar todo y el Lunes 3 de Agosto tomamos el tren de la estación de Londres en Liverpool Street rumbo a Harwich. Fue un impacto ver todas las cosas que llevamos con nosotros. De ahí tomamos el ferry a las 17.45. El ferry entre...

Here's hoping it's not the dreaded swine flu...

How nice it was today to wake up in a familiar bedroom and in a familiar house! It was so relaxing, and so nice to wake up and not think “I must beat 40 other people to the bathroom” or “What time was breakfast set for again?” as you do in hostels. Instead we just woke up slowly and happily...

Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to Buntingford we go!

It was a quick day in Paris today and a bit of a sad one. Today was the end of our European adventure to a degree. We started off in Paris 7 weeks ago, and now, here we are, in Paris heading back to the UK. It’s nice that we were able to do a complete circle and start and finish in Paris,...
