Time rapidly slipped away; flights – flights that were likely to actually be honoured and didnt necessitate jumping hoops that we werent prepared to jump, at a price that we didnt deem extortionate – were finally sourced and booked, incredibly through a British travel agent who (being a friend of my parents) bent some rules in order to bring their little boy and his girl home.
Thus, on May 15 Read on...
Issys feeling worse than ever so she decides to spend the day resting up in her cosy isolation ward at Steve and LeeAnnes newly christened COVID hospital. Were still a bit curious as to where she might have caught the dreaded virus from. She blames the waitress from the restaurant we went to in our last night in Maui. She ordered a Corona, but when the waitress brought it she dropped the lemon on Read on...
Der Tag startet verheiungsvoll mit einem tollen Frhstck im Hotel. Die Qualitt der Lebensmittel ist wunderbar und Dank der Stck fr Stck Bedienung der Hausherrin (bei JJ) und der Tochter (?) bei mir, nehmen wir auch nicht mehr, als wir wirklich brauchen - man will ja schlielich nicht verfressen wirken... 😉

We were up early, our hotel in Wangen was AWESOME. We all decided last night that we would meet for breakfast at this new restaurant around the corner from Marias apartment.
We all arrived around 9:00 am and had a wonderful time laughing and continuing our discussions of Hedy and Bill it was close to 11 am when Kirsten and I said we need to hit the road and look for some good weather.
We said ou Read on...
It has been a while since I updated my travel stories. This time, words do not flow easily into my head like they used to, and this probably one the effects of alienation syndrome.
The pandemic had taken a toll on many of us including a psychology student like myself. I experienced my sanity diminishing day by day as the whole shebang went on far longer than anticipated and I dont know how, but Read on...
We were supposed to have visited Corsica in the Med back in May but reared its ugly head just before we were due to leave New Zealand and of course we didnt even get onto the aeroplane to take us to Auckland and then faraway places.
Instead we traded our Air NZ tickets for flights to and from Christchurch and here we are Day One flying from Tauranga to Christchurch in the Air NZ Bombardier Q300 Read on...
We left our ride today until this afternoon for the chance of better weather. We got glorious sunshine but also got some very strong cold winds. We did stay dry, so thats a bonus.
From home it was Chatburn, West Bradford, Waddington, Bashall Barn, some looping round the TT triangle and Great Mitton and then home.
Our virtual journey would be leaving Beziers and heading south west on small roads Read on...
After biking 492 miles across Washington (minus 2 days), the panhandle of Idaho and two days into Montana, I have decided that my body has had enough. It has been a great experience to view this beautiful country while riding my bike. Todays weather forecast was for showers and temperatures in the upper 40s and well lets face itI just do not like to be cold. So we watched Barry and Phil head out t Read on...
I have just finished reading a book on football programmes. I know it wouldnt be a normal topic of conversation in a travelblog, but bear with me. The plot of the book - if you can call it as such - features a transatlantic relocation and a choice. A difficult choice! Which of your extensive programme collection have you space to bring with you. You envisage a few hundred in a small suitcase, but Read on...
Hello, my dearest travelblog readers, after so long, here I am again on a new unexpected entry, hoping you havent forgotten me just yet...This one won´t have stories of hotels and planes, it would consist of a very specific account of some away time that I have taken to myself, not voluntary though, as we all know. It was after conversing with my inner self that these lines were written to descri Read on...
