So in the end maybe it’s as simple and gentle as that.  A pleasant bowl of luscious pasta with mince, olives and smoked applewood cheese knocked together by my sis.  A few final photos accompanied by assurances and promises to catch up with each other “soon” somewhere, somewhen on t…

Last night me and Torunn got about 3 hours of sleep in my superb Budapest apartment, as we had to get up at 3:28 to catch the early flight to UK.. What a nightmare....I was taking coffe intravenously , but It had no effect , for the rest of the day I was a walking zombie with bloodshot eyes...…

Some not so exotic photos from my hometown :S Ha!

So it's 2am and I'm waiting for my mate to pick me up to drive me to Heathrow Airport.  Only a select few actually know where i'm 'truthfully' going - as I said I was off to Dublin to see a mate, just so they didn't worry and ring me 24/7! But little did they know that their little boy wa…

We arrived at the Heathrow Airport at 7:00 in the morning of March 24th. After a long flight, we had to endure yet another hour of land transfer to our destination:Portsmouth. Tired and sleepless from the journey, we left our luggages at the concierge since we couldn't check in yet at the hotel. It…

We travelled with LD lines from Portsmouth to La Havre. The crossing was overnight leaving Portsmouth at 11pm and landing in France at 7.30 am. We basically had a quick drink and settled down on the lounge floor to sleep. There was plenty of room and we were not disturbed. If the thought of sleepin…

I arrived in Portsmouth, UK this morning on the train, about 1.5hrs.  I have a ferry ticket that leaves at 3:30pm today for Caen, France, the crossing will take 6 hours.  I wanted to do the crossing of the English Channel like the Invasion force on D-day June 6, 1944.  It's actually …

I know its not really travelling, but thought I'd put on a few random photos of my local area..

Tina and I Went to Ireland, Wales, England, Switzerland, France and Italy in June 2007.

A road trip around the United Kingdom and travelling throughout Europe!

This is my study abroad trip for summer of 2007 with Georgia Tech. Half of the time is spent traveling around Europe, the other half is spent studying in Oxford.

We stopped for lunch in Arundel, a cute little town with a castle perched above and a stream running between the cobbled street. We then headed to Portsmouth where Steph had arranged a 2-night stay with her brothers-girlfriends-sister, Claire, who has been living there for almost 5 years. Portsmou…

We stayed in Portsmouth for a couple of days just catching up with family and friends.  We visited the old ships at Portsmouth docks and spent a day on the Isle of Wight.

I, my friends and family did a tour of South England and Wales. The trip was five days long and we did around 800 miles in total.

    The second day of the free weekend (Saturday) was a little up in the air as to where people wanted to go. Some of us, including myself, wanted to take a trip over to Salisbury and then eventually see Stonehenge, while Dustin and a few others had heard cool things about Portsmouth…
