Ok, well I made it safe and sound. Managed to get on a flight full of seniors on their way to a tour in France. I have never been on such a quiet flight in my whole life. Most exciting moment came when the steward fixed the large television and the whole group applauded. Didn't take much to impress them I guess!! We also had a group of athlete's onboard that were congratulated since a bunch of them placed in a race to Tuktoyaktuk. Didn't think much of it until we were all gathering our luggage at the end and a whole bunch of sleds came around the merry-go-round thingy. Apparently the race is some big deal that goes up into the artic circle and is over 300 miles long. Crazy! Google 6633 Ultra and you'll ... read more

Winter is approaching. I can tell by the way the day's are getting shorter, the light is getting greyer and I'm wearing a jacket to work because it's cold. So, what do you do on a day that is already grey? Go visit a town famed for it's immensity of greyness: Windsor. The town is small, small than paeroa small. So small that you would miss it even if you didn't blink. However, it does have a huge castle. It must get a lot of tourists, because the main street has at least one of every single fast food outlet. On your left is Windsor Castle, home of the Queen, on your right your pick of Subway, McDonalds, Burger King, KFC or Pizza Hut to name but a few. According to our brochure, there a tour ... read more

Geo: 51.2604, -0.726463Hey all!! il prob be brief cos once again the cost of internet here is DISGRACEFUL and im already super broke. Yesterday I went on a tour through the English country side. The inspiration for choosing it was that i wanted to see stonehenge so i thought id see a couple other significant things while i was at it. It was all pleasantly priced at a mere £65 (Student rate!!) thats like $170AU... sob.anyway the trip was pretty damn good so thats all that counts! Only thing of concern is that I was one of like 4 under 30s lol but ah well, was easy to meet them. One being a 25 year old aussie guy, and the others were two 19 year old canadian girls. I LOVE canadian accents!!! ;) First part was ... read more

Day 89: Thursday 3rd August 2006: Sunny: An exciting day ahead - meeting friends and family. After brekky it was off to the train (which was late leaving) to Reading, change of train to Slough and then change to Windsor and this train was also running 1/2 hour late and all were very very slow, consequently we were very late arriving at Windsor where Jean and Keith had been waiting for ages. Keith had had a banner ready with "Welcome Jenny and Vera", but was gone to move the car. Never mind, it was wonderful to have them there to meet us. After hugs and kisses and hellos etc it was into the car to go to our B&B - great - when we eventually found it the woman had no record of our booking (had ... read more
