UNITED KINGDOM | Monday, 1 Aug 2011 | Views [229]

another fail on this one. there are a bazillion j20 flavours. okay, maybe not that many but there are alot! we tried maybe 5 or 6 of them. nothing like leaving it to the last minute. we tried one at the airport about to fly to greece. whoops.

UNITED KINGDOM | Thursday, 28 Jul 2011 | Views [555]

UNITED KINGDOM | Wednesday, 27 Jul 2011 | Views [414]

UNITED KINGDOM | Tuesday, 19 Jul 2011 | Views [251]

91. become a cocktail expert

UNITED KINGDOM | Saturday, 16 Jul 2011 | Views [252]

so we may not be experts at creating cocktails but we sure are at drinking them. cruising through greece proved the most lemon, banana and strawberry daquaris consumption known to man (an al inclusive drinks package helped) before leaving leeds Massey's ... Read more >

60. see stonehenge and bath

UNITED KINGDOM | Tuesday, 21 Jun 2011 | Views [149]

19. go to the top of the arc de triump

FRANCE | Tuesday, 14 Jun 2011 | Views [238]

boy am I unfit. the elevator was broken, not that i thought that would be a problem, HOWEVER, i was nearly dead when I eventually reached the top of the arc. The view of the roads surrounding the round about put paris traffic into perspective. absolutely ... Read more >


66. go shopping in oxford street, london

UNITED KINGDOM | Sunday, 12 Jun 2011 | Views [231]

introducing mum to primark (or as mum kept calling it 'pickmark') in oxford st, london probably was a little bit traumatising. but she survived the experience if only barly. even i was a little flustered from the adventure but never the less we were ... Read more >

VATICAN CITY | Saturday, 4 Jun 2011 | Views [197]

18. climb the eiffel tower

FRANCE | Monday, 30 May 2011 | Views [225]

so we didn't physically climb the tower. there was no scaling of the outside resulting in the parisian police being called but we did stand in the absolute freezing cold winds in queue for HOURS waiting to get the lift up to the top. was it worth it? ... Read more >

44. have a perfect afternoon

UNITED KINGDOM | Monday, 9 May 2011 | Views [128]

this one is debatable. there was the afternoon in england where the sun was out. shock and horror. we bought snacks and magazines and played in the park. this one may count.


98. learn a party trick

UNITED KINGDOM | Monday, 9 May 2011 | Views [135]

so it has been decided. against my wishes, that my party trick is infact the YMCA. where my Y and my M go in the same direction due to some wacky elbows. will demonstrate on request
