Okay, this is just a short note to finish the travel blog off. The Oak Hall tour came to a sad end, as our group split, shattering into individual shards like a glass thrown away, we drifted apart with many, many promises to Facebook (i.e. - keep ... Read more >

Well, we visited Paris - the ultimate whirlwind ending to our ultimate whirlwind tour. It was in and out for a day - but what a day. Off on another boat cruise to start the day - a lovely ride down the Siene River - we saw all the sights that you ... Read more >

Off again on our adventures - we once more battled with the elements when the time came to strike the camp; I don't think that that many tents (13 plus a single & two cook's tents) have ever been erected in such a short period of time - and I do ... Read more >

Still enjoying the Italian summer - we headed up to Florence on the Wednesday, and had our five hour excursion to the city yesterday. Em-J and I were rather boring on this trip as we had already been to Firenze and there wasn't anything else we ... Read more >

We left the searing heat of Venice for the muggy melting-ness of Rome. It was a long drive down, but when we finally got there we found out that this was indeed “A party place peoples!”. There where Contiki Buses everywhere.. Anywho we set up as ... Read more >

We traveled by coach from the lovely Austrain Alps; said “Goodbye” to the cold weather (with some relief it must be admitted, although the area was so beautiful) and “Ciao Bella!” to the gorgeous 30 degree + sunshine and clear skies of warm, wonderful ... Read more >

*sings * The hills are alive/ with the sound of... waterfalls? No, actually, the hills where alive with the sound of music (but also waterfalls; will explain in a bit!)– we drove from Petronell-Carnuntum to Zell in the Zimml Valley, but on the way ... Read more >

Okay – so after an awesome day out on the town; mad-cap soccer induced antics included, how on earth could we possibly top those adventures? Easily enough it would seem! Em-J and I got up at half six – batty I know; such a evil hour should not exist..... Read more >

Ok - so the last two days since I updated have flown and as usual were jam-packed with all this stuff I can hardly wrap my head around. We drove from the Czech Republic all the way through the province to Petronell-Carnuntum, Austria; which right next ... Read more >

I can't believe it - but we've finally left Teen Ranch. It feels like a life time since we arrived and believe it or not; it is now totally stuck in my head as home! So homesick for the place - I even miss Steel's *quote* 'stupid face' *end quote*.... Read more >

So we headed up to Arbroath today - it wasn't far away at all and was well worth the trip. 15-20mins away from Dundee by train; it's a reasonably sized town on the East coast of Scotland below Aberdeen. EmJ and I hit the town around about 11:30am ... Read more >

More horsey stories for those that care! Okay - so when you're on horse staff for nine days straight it is pretty much all you can think of... Story 1. Did a barrel race on Mustang (a liver brown cob mare) in 24.28 (approx. seconds) and was pleased ... Read more >

So tired... ._. So really very tired. EmJ and I managed our first day of camp - a full house, none the less, with rather well adjusted scurrying. We really did have a great time: it was a blast. Up at 7:00am, we did various bits and ... Read more >
