Tuesday 5th October We arrived a bit earlier than expected to lovely sunny weather and tried to figure out where the hell we were going. We tried but failed to sneak onto the transfer bus, well, there was no way we were going to part with £40 for a 7km ride into town so we started walking but managed to get a lift straight away by an English woman called Andrea who lives on the island after marrying a local boy. After some directions we found our apartment which was pretty basic but clean, got some food supplies in (geez, things are expensive with the Euro!!) and had a nice cold beer in a local bar whilst figuring out what we were going to do with our week.

Tuesday 13 July After heroically fighting the jet lag all the way through to 10pm last night we got up early and drove into London to collect Allison's contact lenses. It was such a major shocker as she said "oh, its not too far..." hmmm, it was a good 2 hour journey just to turn around and come back. I think its going to take me a while to get used to the distances and driving here! On the way back we stopped off a East Side Mario's diner for lunch which was huge! I cant believe they serve so much food here. i got the tipping lesson and it is weird here as they tip a good 25% and it is expected; i guess that the brits are just plain stingy! As we were in ... read more

Just before I flew to Canada to see Allison I went down to Southampton to see my Mum. Among other things we had a lovely kayaking trip up the River Hamble in the evening and had a leisurely paddle. Gorgeous especially as it was followed by fish & chips and toasted marshmallows on the chiminea - sod the diet! ... read more

I am really getting into the climbing this year and spent an awesome weekend with the Royal Navy climbing club down at Baggy Point in c Croyde. Got some good climbs in on friday and saturday once the rain had cleared up! For the first half of saturday we hid away in a cafe waiting for the rain to stop so we could go out and play. Sunday was really poo and we didnt get any climbs in at all! The weather was bad with fairly string winds so after a chat we all disppeared home which was sad but the way with sports like this. There were quite a few funny moments although no falls luckily! I got drowned by the waves a few times, I think that the sea was after me. every time ... read more
