krimbow - Christopher Waters

Christopher Waters I have been doing a lot travelling and blogging recently. Its great to blow into and blow out again with a fistful of memories that will stay with me forever.
I can never understand people who want to stay in there own city and never want to visit new and interesting places ( Benidorm does not count)
My Motto in Life is: I am out for a good time all the rest is propaganda.
Read my blogs and leave a nice comment.

Back on the Road The Baltic States, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania were to be our new mission. We bought a return flight to Estonia and so on a gloomy rainy summer’s day we flew out into the unknown. We arrived mid afternoon and made our way to the Bus Station and bought tickets for an overnight coach to Vilnius (Lithuania) We had two weeks to visit 3 countries, so I came up with the plan of taking the overnight coach to Lithuania and then working our way back up to Estonia via Latvia. So with the tickets bought, we now [View Full Entry]

I Am Getting A Team together It was the Dog’s idea to go Glastonbury for the music festival, at first I said no when he asked me. But during a night spent popping little fellas, he talked me in to going. I thought there would be a big team going but it turned out to be just me, the Dog and Col Killy. Yes I was travelling again with him after all that happened in New York. I did contemplate ducking out but I could not let down Team Moston. I should have gone 10 years ago but because of [View Full Entry]

Dont Fence me in

In the Beginning Kev Duff had moved house to Athlone Avenue, a nice quiet cul-de-sac, in a nice part of Moston. He invited me around for a coffee and chat and to show off his new abode. Out of the blue he asks me “Do you fancy going to New York” I am quite taken aback by his request, as Kev has never shown any interest in travelling before. He goes on to tell me that British Airways have cheap deals on for November, only £209 for a return flight. I tell him to count me in and I will [View Full Entry]

Lets get ready to Rumble I sat in the front room of our house, I was eager to get on the road again. Everything was set; the plan was a good one (on paper) A taxi to the Chorlton Street Coach Station, coach to Luton Airport, taxi to the Travelogue for overnight stay. Taxi to airport next morning for our 1pm flight to Kiev, then another overnight stay at Marina’s Auntie’s apartment, and then we take an overnight coach to Chisinau. Easy hey? The original plan was to take a coach at 3:55am to avoid the overnight stay in Luton but [View Full Entry]

Fixing a hole We arrived at the Bus station after sitting 5 hours on a Rackety bus. If I ever drop the big one on the Lottery I will give the Moldovan Government 1 million Euros to tarmac the road from Chisinau to Odessa, the roads has more pot holes in them than the surface of the moon. We had 5 hours or so to kill before our train to Kharkiv was due to depart. Our Travel mission was to visit Kharkiv and Dnepropetrovsk, both cities are located in eastern Ukraine and are rarely visited by tourists. We walked from [View Full Entry]

One of the pleasantest things in the world is going on a journey. We take a bus to the train station and then a train to the Airport, we are travelling light. We both have a rucksack each and the buggy with Lisa in. No big suitcase this time. We are arrive at the airport with plenty of time to spare, we drink a coffee while we are waiting for check and we find out that the morning flight to Prague had been cancelled due to bad weather. We commiserate with the people who were suppose to on that flight [View Full Entry]

Journey to the East Europe » Moldova » Centre » Chisinau
MORNING GLORY Friday 3:45 in the AM and my Mobile plays the tune “the Entertainer” it’s my wake up call for our (epic) Journey to Moldova. I wake up Marina and Lisa (our little 15 month old bundle of joy) and we start to get dress and wait for our Taxi. So it begins…… The Plan, like all good plans are worked out well in advance and are flexible if anything goes wrong, well the plan was to fly with Czech airlines to Bucharest (via) Prague. And then take a flight to Moldova (Chisinau) with Tarom Airlines. We arrived at [View Full Entry]

Great place to stay, great staff, what more can you want from a hostel.
Getting to Moldova from Manchester is not easy or cheap as I was soon going to find out. I had 2 options to get there. Plan A: was take a flight via Stanstead Airport (near London) to Chisinau, easy eh? But expensive £400 plus for a return flight. Plan B: Take a flight to Romania via Frankfurt and then take an over night train to Chisinau. Flight would cost £188 and price of the Train Journey was about 40 Euros. So I did the Maths and the travel romantic stirred inside me which told me to take an over night [View Full Entry]

Our day out. Europe » Moldova
It was so hot in Chisinau, 30 plus degrees, we had to get out of the city, as Moldova is landlocked and we could not go to the Black sea because I only had a single entry visa it meant there was one option but to go to "Vadu- lui -Voda Vadu-lui-Voda, situated on the right bank of the Dniester River, is a great place for us city dwellers to get away from it all and pretend we are the seaside it is a splendid place for pitching camp and having a wonderful time at weekends. This is a place where [View Full Entry]

Woke up at 5pm, I felt really hung over, after a few too many beers at quiz night. We did not win again; the Dog (my great and wild living friend) was looking up the answers on his mobile phone and we still came third. The driver was a talker who never shut up all the way up to the airport...”Where are you going mate?” “Prague” I told him, which was kind of the truth. I really could not face his questions about Belarus. “Yeah just going on a stag night with team Moston”...I gave him a 2 pound tip and [View Full Entry]
