But for me it's all about finding out something about a place, and something about yourself. And when you get off the beaten track, that's where you find out what there is to find out.

So to summarise where we are now here is a little poetry from the scottish film 'trainspotting' (censored version)

Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a flipping big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suite on hire purchase in a range of flaming fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the hell you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, brats you spawned to replace yourself.

Choose your future.

Choose life.

Lets not get too depressed here, ha! ha! Thanks to all that followed our story and I hope we will meet you all soon! Remember to include us on any of your blogs as we are always interested. I'll leave you with one of my favourite sayings 'Bon Voyage!'
