south africa that's a lot of inspiring people you met! I reckon South Africa was a wonderful place to finish your world journeyings! BTW I already know that you survived the bungy jump and i'm glad you did!!!!!!!
Italy!! Wow Ben, you're a great storyteller! I really really enjoy reading your blog! Please keep going with it. Just think of all your descendants down thru the ages (or should that be 'up' thru the ages?) looking up their family tree on 'ancestry.com' or something like and finding your blogs. Great entertainment and something to be proud of!!
Keep writin' you're a natural!
blog loved reading your blog, Ben.It was very interesting stuff about C.S. Lewis, Narnia and the martyrs. Were the family you stayed with relatives? It sounded like the history of Oxford really came alive with the input from the Wheatleys and their children make great tour guides!
Collioure grrr we have just gone past that part of france + the world.. we are now on the other side of france in bordeaux.. it looks great thou + we would have definately gone there. let me know if there are any other parts of northern france or south africa we should go to!
soz thanks guys for ur comments, im not a mad lover of blogs but this one does have a special place in my heart.. now i only just reviewed the comments + put them up cause i only just realised i was meant to.. oops soz!
uk sights Nice to see & hear of Hadrian's wall, Chatsworth House & south. You obviously had better weather in Brighton than we did. We had your Portsmouth weather in Brighton.So hope you are having the right priorities B & L. What do you think the sign actually meant? Continuing to love your blogs Ben. We have a few chuckles! Must be time consuming writing them - but it'll give you a delightful record of your travelling experiences. love Mum

mckinnon tale great writing - isn't it wonderful how sunny france makes the mckinnon tale seem half romantic! are you dropping by the village of Collioure (french mediterranean coast)? I am preaching about its church (which is also a lighthouse) on Sunday.
great blog ben ! LOved reading this Ben & the photos are fantastic!! Glad you are soaking in the mckinnon lore! You did well to find the original stronghold - well done! I enjoyed seeing the castles from different vantage points to where we saw them from.

West Highland way Love loved the photos - what beautiful scenery! GREAT descriptions of the experience Ben. Didn't realise Lauren had so many muscles!!!!
literary gold none of these buildings knew who we were so we figured that it was ok that we knew nothing about them either.. that said we were mightily impressed with their peripheral aesthetic value as im sure they were pleased with ours. loved it :D

Blog Loving the descriptive words although I am a little bit tired with all that walking I have done whilst reading your blog lol safe travels my friends lots of love xxx
a good read for someone who is constantly thinking about two of her most favourist peops on the other side of the world - it is fanatstic to be able to enter your head & heart as you make this journey! Thanks for your thoughts & words!
bored of the surrounding humdrum sounds + smells of the quaint town-city called launceston in the little + often forgotten state of australia called tasmania - troubadour ben + visual trobairitz lauren venture out on this epic adventure of a lifetime with a hankering for new sights, sounds, smells + tastes..
souls had grown tired + it was almost like they had forgotten how to breathe.. + like the process of breathing they longed to inhale + exhale the freshness that this trek would provide.
knowing as they did that all healthy relationships must be reciprocal + yearning to be connected ... full info
