G’day all Currently I am doing this blog on the way to our last leg of our holiday the Cock of the North Tour We again apologise for our lack of communication this time around but we are having too much fun to do anything when the day ends....LOL Not really Internet connectivity has been dodgy so when we can't upload photos we don't bother Since our last blog we have visited Civi...Civ....ahhhh the port for Rome, Cagliari (Sardinia), Seville, Lisbon and Vigo. Please note that some of the photos might be out of order but we will try to get it right. (Julia: Actually I’ll have a go at putting them all in order before we publish them… lol) After we got back to England we took the train to London and stayed where they ... read more

Gday all Hello from Toulon, France and now from Livorno, Italy gateway to Pisa and Florence Well it has been a while since our last posting. You will also notice that there are no pictures with this post. At 75 cents a minute for internet connection it would cost a fortune to upload them. We will load them when we get back to England on the 18th. Now to the blog On the morning we picked up the boat I had to drop off our rental car and while doing this I met a couple that had just got off the boat and while chatting they said the first thing we will notice is the food. Well that is an understatement. Everywhere you go is either a bar or restaurant The Celebrity Eclipse is a magnificent ... read more

Gday all Well the weather has beaten us on the boat. It was raining all morning and not expected to stop anytime soon so instead of being stuck on a cramped boat for 2 days in the rain we took the hard decision and handed the keys in early. May 24 - Today we started off very well, nice weather and clear skies. We went north on the canal to Tewitfield the end of the canal at this stage....the Government has only been talking about reopening the rest of the canal since 1968...can't rush these things. When we got to Tewitfield it looks like the diesel fairies had been around as there was a lot less diesel in the boat then when we started off. Apparently the mongrels like to come along and pinch the diesel ... read more

Hiya everyone. I've got a few days to catch up with I guess. So here goes. 12 May - Today we headed to York for the day to see the National Railway Museum. It was really interesting with engines from the steam era up to diesels. We had a good wander round and lost Barbara a few times.. lol... The Flying Scotsman wasn't on display because it's being done up ready to get out onto the tracks again. There were a few royal carriages there including Queen Victoria's, Queen Elisabeth's and the one that Charlse and Diana used afer they got married. Queen Victoria's was amazing and still in original condition. It was a bit hard to get pictures of it because they didn't have very bright lights on inside it. The UV rays from the ... read more

Hiya all. Sorry we haven't been updating but the internet was down at the hotel and we couldn't log on. Plus it's been family visits and stuff, which is great for me but probably boring for everyone else! lol So.... what have we been up to. We had a lovely relaxing time in London. On Friday we headed to Watford to pick up the car. We have a Vauxhall Meriva. It's not a bad car though Mark tells me it's got no pickup.. lol.. I wouldn't know because I don't drive over here.. way too much traffic for me. Mark handles it fairly well, something to do with driving in Victoria I'd say. Well after picking up the car we headed off on the M25 making our way to see Leslie and Jo. We had a ... read more
