United Kingdom Travel Blogs

Great Britain, holds the history of once being the most powerful nation in the world. Although this status has long since passed, there are few areas of the country where evidence of this former glory are absent. Relics of an industrial past dot the landscape, and expansive stately homes display the profits reaped both at home and abroad.

Although famed for it's rain, the British climate is temperate, with mild winters and pleasant summers. The British countryside offers a taste of both the quaint and the unkempt, and provides opportunities for various outdoor activities such as hiking, climbing and pot-holing.

Britain's cities are vibrant and exciting, with long and diverse histories of development, historic buildings and stunning modern architecture.

Back to some sort of Reality

Europe » United Kingdom » England » Essex

I got up ok and got through the day alright. I had to take an extra during my only free lesson because the Maths department are sorting out their coursework. Not what you need after the week I've just had. 27/4/2006 I felt more tired today. I had another extra during my only free lesson to give me another full day due to coursework. Definitely not what I needed. 28/4/2006 I was late to work by fifteen minutes after a misunderstanding with Ravi, but the school understood. We had our first game of school cricket amongst ourselves with 5 or 6 [View Full Entry]

Londinium

Europe » United Kingdom » England » Greater London

John Snow
The water pump that fed Piccadilly cholera.

So I just got back from 6 days and 5 nights in London. It's kinda weird, but I seem to have more friends there than here. The city is twice as expensive as Berlin, at least, but also probably twice as interesting. I did quite a lot, with my 7-day transit "Oyster" pass (L22.50), so I'll only mention the people and the new places. Peeps: Cherokee Investment Partners, Jeff Pietras, Bill Christianson, Cynthia Cook, Sian Jones, John Warden, and many of Jeff's friends. Cherokee is a NC-based firm that redevelops brownfields into attractive real estate. It was good to talk shop. [View Full Entry]

Here at Last!

Europe » United Kingdom » Scotland » Edinburgh

(Right now we cant include pictures the internet cafe wont let us) This was one hell of a trip! Weather delayed us getting into Newark and our plane was long gone by the time we got there so we spent a free night in the Days Inn Hotel followed by an all day wait in the airport for the next flight at 8:00 pm. The flight was uneventful but also sleepless largely due to an extra wide Indian woman in full regalia who insisted on doing laps in the aisle all night, consistently colliding with me just as I had dozed [View Full Entry]

And I Would Rather Be Anywhere Else Than Here Today

Europe » United Kingdom » England » South Yorkshire » Sheffield

Cocknose The Bottlenose
The Cookemeister had spent the day learning to balance a bottle cap on his nose. A more productive day than usual then.

Back at university now and the deluge of work has finally hit in a great big tidal wave of report writing, presentation work, maths coursework and exam revision. Somehow though i still find time to update my journal. Beginning to enjoy filling in my travel diary even though i'm not actually travelling yet. There should be some sort of travel diary exclusively for people who can't be bothered to travel anywhere. Oh yeah they have those already, there called diaries. Duh! Apart from the absolute cascade of work, uni life is still the same as ever. Returned to the house to [View Full Entry]

Edinburgh, my new found home....

Europe » United Kingdom » Scotland » Edinburgh

Edinburgh
This is the view from my Roof Top. You can see Arthurs Seat (the hill) in the distance and the ocean

So Edinburgh...I have been living here for 6 months now. The first day I arrived here, I walked around the city in aww. Every Building here tells a story, and has a past, and radiates a strong energy. So I moved here with out planning on it at all. I had hooked up a job in a small country town outside of Oxford, England. When I arrived to Cuddesdon, I straight away realized that this was NOT the place for me. It was a very religous, and old fogie town. I was to be working at the only business in town, [View Full Entry]

Easter in Wales

Europe » United Kingdom » Wales

Hazel

It’s Easter Monday and I’m sitting comfortably on a National Rail train on my way back to London, reflecting on the lovely 4-day weekend I’ve just enjoyed in rural Wales. I’ve been visiting with Hazel, a long-time family friend who I lasts saw back in my home town Leeton, aged 12. Back then, Hazel was a 29 year old traveler living in Sydney and working in the Sydney office Dad was located in for much of 1989. Hazel came to visit us over the Easter weekend and I vaguely recall us driving her around Leeton and surrounds, showing her rice fields [View Full Entry]
