UNITED KINGDOM | Saturday, 18 Jun 2011 | Views [521]

When you were a child did you ever dream up an imaginary land where you would go and play, either by yourself, with your brothers and sisters, friends and imaginary friends? A place where you would go and play anytime, day or night until you dreamt up ... Read more >

UNITED KINGDOM | Saturday, 18 Jun 2011 | Views [839]

If you’ve been following my road trip adventure so far, you will have noticed that we stopped at a number of places linked to history (both English and Scottish), myths (the Loch Ness Monster) and legends (Robin Hood). So it was refreshing (and delicious) ... Read more >

Week 12 or 13: Part Five – Edinburgh and Windemere

UNITED KINGDOM | Saturday, 18 Jun 2011 | Views [500]

After spending that sunny day touring the Scottish Highlands, I began to think that Scottish weather can’t be that cold if they have warm sunny days like this. Um, note to self: never be too optimistic about the weather in the UK. The very next day was ... Read more >

Week 12: Part Four – The Scottish Highlands including Loch Ness

UNITED KINGDOM | Friday, 17 Jun 2011 | Views [466]

It was about this point in the trip where I realised that I have a smart phone; a smart phone with Google Maps. Who needs ask for directions to small unknown streets when they have a smart phone with Google Maps? Thank God for that realisation otherwise ... Read more >

Week 12: Part Three – Newcastle and Hadrian’s Wall

UNITED KINGDOM | Friday, 17 Jun 2011 | Views [699]

What do Newcastle and Liverpool have in common? No idea? Neither do I. One is near the east coast; the other is near the west coast of the UK, yet I kept calling Newcastle, Liverpool for the whole trip. So in the future if I ever say I went to Liverpool, ... Read more >

UNITED KINGDOM | Thursday, 16 Jun 2011 | Views [1674]

Want to keep your brain active and alert? Want to prevent Alzheimer’s? Forget about brain training and Sudoku, just grab a (sketchy) map of the UK, jump in a car and find your way to your next destination! Okay, so I shouldn’t have expected that the ‘A ... Read more >

Week 12: Part One - Brighton and Warwick Castle

UNITED KINGDOM | Thursday, 16 Jun 2011 | Views [817]

I’m not a big city girl. I need to live where there are trees, mountains and preferably a lake or some other body of water. This notion was further re-enforced on my recent road trip around the UK (excluding Northern Ireland ;-) ) Not only is it absolutely ... Read more >

Week 11 – I need a holiday!!!

UNITED KINGDOM | Monday, 30 May 2011 | Views [963]

Before I left I read an article about how stressful it is to plan a holiday. ‘Stressful?’ I thought ‘All you need to do is book the flights and the accommodation. How on earth can that be stressful?’ Naive and inexperienced traveller that I was; the ... Read more >

Week 10 which was a rather uneventful week

UNITED KINGDOM | Monday, 23 May 2011 | Views [601]

On the rare occasion that I used to go away on holiday, or just away for the weekend, I used to really resent coming back to work, and I mean really resent it. I used to sit under a black cloud for weeks muttering under my breath, and if it wasn’t ... Read more >
