Tim version: * Wandered Lisboa for about 5 hours, saw some wicked stuff. I have a serious wandering addiction as others will verify, especially after a few drinks.. * Decided to go to Sagres with Nancy and hung out all night with Caitlin. 3 course meal version: Meant to go to Belem today with Nancy but never saw her rock up so skipped that and went out wandering Lisboa to catch the "real" less touristy side and it worked! I wandered through tiny carless streets, saw people just doing their thing not worrying about touristy people or trying to sell anything, [View Full Entry]

Tim version * beautiful flight and good approach into Lisbon. * Did walking tour and bars and got to see a good bit of lisbon. Really really long version: So, on to the flight out of Heathrow... I was so glad when the thing finally took off. Not because of all the shit that happened getting out of there but really more because I was sick of the UK and its mangy weather and general social bad attitude and so excited about hitting Portugal! The flight was beautiful... actually beautiful doesn't cover it, but thats the only word Ive got to [View Full Entry]

Quick short entries, the only way... and Ive got some serious catching up to do here!! Also photos will probably come after blogs, they take a while to set up and upload. Tim version * Didnt get to Portugal due to delayed flights and bad weather Verbal Diahhorea version: Portugal day 0, 31st August. No, this isnt some nerdy numbering scheme! Instead its because I was meant to hit portugal but didnt due to a whole lot of shit, which Ill now explain but without too much painful detail I hope... Starting in Belfast City Airport, Belfast, I head about poor [View Full Entry]

This one is actually from the 17th to the 31st but I been lazy writing it up! Tim version: * Saw grandparents and relatives and all are doing OK. * It rained. Lots. Think I got 1 dayof sunshine. Longer version: Mostly a personal visit over here so not a tonne to write up. Mostly chilled out with the grandparents at their place doing the odd visit here and there and ducking up to the Library to use the net (worst freakin connection ever!). Got to hear a good lot of family history and stories from them which was really appreciated. [View Full Entry]

Tim Version: * All four flights OK, got to England happy and healthy. * English summer as expected, cold and rainy, and now chilling at Uncle's place. Looong version (the longer versions are half for my own sake as my memory only holds a few weeks worth of info...) A cruisy start to the trip over here in Horsham, England. Loving getting to see my Uncle, Aunty and two cousins again as its always a fair chunk of times between visits! Backstepping a little though, back through time to the flight over... The flight outta Perth to Singapore was good, thanks [View Full Entry]

Just a few days to go till I fly out now and I can't wait! I've stuck a map up to show the countries I plan to be trekking around. Plans might change during the trip, who knows, but this is the current path I'm planning to make my way along. The gear has been bought, the bag has had a trial packing, and now its just chalk lines on the wall as I count down to flying out. [View Full Entry]

The day that time forgot... i wrote this blog but had PC problems and it musta never saved =( so here again... Tim version: * Headed to Cascais beach, cool but didnt help my thirst for waves. * Forriaged for food around town and talked to Nancy tonnes about surfing. Kinda long version: Managed to get my ass outta bed about 9:30 for a wicked breakfast of scrambled eggs, toast, cereal and stuff and surprisingly had no hangover (at least not yet). Heading to the beach today!! Its a beach called cascais, abut 25 minutes away by train from Lisbon up [View Full Entry]
