West Yorkshire Travel Blogs

Background: Great Britain, the dominant industrial and maritime power of the 19th century, played a leading role in developing parliamentary democracy and in advancing literature and science. At its zenith, the British Empire stretched over one-fourth of the earth's surface. The first half of the 20th century saw the UK's strength seriously depleted in two World Wars. The second half witnessed the dismantling of the Empire and the UK rebuilding itself into a modern and prosperous European nation. As one of five permanent members of the UN Security Council, a founding member of NATO, and of the Commonwealth, the UK pursues a global approach to foreign policy; it currently is weighing the degree of its integration with continental Europe. A member of the EU, it chose to remain outside the Economic and Monetary Union for the time being. Constitutional reform is also a significant issue in the UK. The Scottish Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales, and the Northern Ireland Assembly were established in 1999, but the latter is suspended due to bickering over the peace process.

I'm in a lo-tech house and have very limited access to the internet. My apologies for not blogging on a regular basis and for those of you that have just joined take a look at my China Blogs. Sunday, August 23. The trip from Shanghai to London is approximately twelve hours and it turned into a marathon movie festival. Living in Russell, movie going is a major production, and our movie day of choice is normally " 1/2 price Tuesdays". Being on a Virgin Atlantic flight with a number of relatively new movies is a added extra, therefore I made the [View Full Entry]

The biggest part of this trip is the preparation, making sure that we have all the paper work in place. this includes the Visa for the countries and also all the paper work that is involved in shipping a car out to Africa and being able to drive it through various countries. this was a real pain to arrange and took the best part of 3 months The other thing that we needed to do was to turn our Landrover defender from a weekend car that were going to use for camping and mountain biking into a overland vehicle that would [View Full Entry]

HI. This is my new travel blog. It will tell you all about all of the amazing places I am going to go. I will update it as often as I can. I'm going to be studying Chemistry at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY for a year. I'm flying over on the 23rd from Heathrow to Newark and staying in New York City for 3 days, for which time I've booked a hostel in Brooklyn called The New York Loft Hostel. I need to buy a guide book as I don't know what I'm going to do yet. On the 26th [View Full Entry]

13. Europe » United Kingdom » England » West Yorkshire » Leeds
“In all new beginnings, there dwells a magic force” 13; It sounds like a curse, an unlucky number, like a horror film, Friday, or the 13th Floor. Even in a game of mecca bingo it’s surely not gonna be the world’s greatest omen. But to me right now, 13 is feeling great. I have 13 working days left before I hand notice in to the dead end job I’ve been working and praying hard to get out of for the past 3 years. Remortgaging millionaires mansions and desparately seeking Swahili people with no grasp of the English language in instant recession [View Full Entry]

Well we have now been home a fortnight and we are still settling back into normality. We enjoyed a week getting used to being at home with no plan or sightseeing to do! It was great meeting up with family and friends that we have not seen for 6 months other than on webcam (Skype is fantastic). It has felt really strange trying to get back into our old routine, everything feels so familiar and normal but different. It has been lovely sleeping in our own bed and being in our home, staying in one place for more than 4 nights. [View Full Entry]

Yesterday, I got my new travel money card to use on my forthcoming Paris and Alicante trips (and also for future trips). It is just under a month that I am off to Paris. Lately, I have been thinking where I would love to travel on future trips. The list is so long!!! I come to a realisation that it would not be possible to see everywhere and do everything in my life so I have to prioritise. I know where I do not want to go but the list is too short with just three countries! I have been doing [View Full Entry]

This morning we headed out early to catch the tube from Pimlico to King’s Cross and then the train to Leeds. The train system is so easy to understand here. It makes traveling much less scary than in some countries (including the U.S!). We got to Leeds at 11::40am and my friend Mike (who I was meeting in person for the first time!) was there waiting to pick us up. There is nothing better than seeing a friendly face waiting for you at the station! He drove us to our hotel, the Cliff Lawn, where we dropped off our bags before [View Full Entry]

Today, I purchased my annual travel insurance with The Post Office. Originally, I was going to purchase it just for Europe but because of my travel plans for Europe and beyond over the next couple of years, I decided to extend it worldwide (except North America and the Caribbean where I do not intend to travel to). I got a good deal with The Post Office and it works out a lot cheaper than purchasing insurance for each single trip I plan to make. Their policy is very good and is more generous in comparison to other insurances policies I looked [View Full Entry]
