UNITED KINGDOM | Friday, 22 Apr 2011 | Views [198]

65. go fishing in the lake district

UNITED KINGDOM | Friday, 22 Apr 2011 | Views [183]

so it was a poor attempt at fishing but it was definitely an attempt, invloving £1.25 fishing nets on a stick and cheese as bait. needless to say we didnt catch any fish but we still "went fishing"


86. hire a row boat and have a picnic on water

UNITED KINGDOM | Friday, 22 Apr 2011 | Views [223]

Who's idea was it to hire a row boat because next time, it should come with a rower. we thought we did alright at first, we had tim do all the hard work and row us out to the middle of the lake but eventually he got tired so michelle took over. she landed ... Read more >

IRELAND | Sunday, 20 Mar 2011 | Views [283]

IRELAND | Sunday, 20 Mar 2011 | Views [319]

67. drink guinness in ireland

IRELAND | Thursday, 17 Mar 2011 | Views [329]

GUINNESS. very filling but not an unbearable drink. and boy, we didnt need much of it for it to take effect. we were in a cool pub in the centre of dublin. so crowded as it was st patricks day celebrations.


8. celebrate st patricks day in dublin

IRELAND | Thursday, 17 Mar 2011 | Views [310]

52. ride quad bikes through the desert

EGYPT | Thursday, 9 Dec 2010 | Views [581]

talk about dusty. but i guess that was to be expected when riding a quad bike through the sandy dusty desert. we had to mask up our faces with scarves so that we didnt die from the dust. it was a bit annoying that the made us drive in single file, therefore ... Read more >

58. see the pyramids of giza

EGYPT | Sunday, 28 Nov 2010 | Views [294]

absolutely amazing. the weirdest part was that we could see the pyramids before we'd even left the city. we imagined them to be in the middle of the desert but they weren't which was at first disappointing but once you were there you forgot the city ... Read more >

UNITED KINGDOM | Tuesday, 16 Nov 2010 | Views [180]

looking at a london tube map we havent done very well on this one. it doesnt count if you sit on the tube and go straight through. you actually have to get on or off at that station for it to count. on that front we've been to maybe 1/4 of the stations.... Read more >


4. save some money

UNITED KINGDOM | Monday, 15 Nov 2010 | Views [184]

96. design a tattoo

UNITED KINGDOM | Tuesday, 2 Nov 2010 | Views [218]

nothing extravagant. just a simple flower design for the rib cage... but a much more interesting story on this front would be "michelles tattoo parlour" open for a limited time only in bedroom 4 of the leeds staff house. specialising in ... Read more >
