Well, most of my things anyway. Some of my things need to be laundered and dried.…

Ireland, Scotland, England, Ibiza, Spain

Seeing as this hostel sucked and they never even told us what time check-out was we decided to just sleep in and not set an alarm and get up when we felt like it. We woke around 10ish I think and then just started to pack up our stuff to leave. They had storage for bags so that was nice and we left…

On Tuesday we woke around 7:00 in the morning and went downstairs for our breakfast.  Had meusli, rasher bacon, and an egg, along with excellent coffee.  We were only spending the one night in Bath, so we checked out and left our luggage with the staff.  We walked to the Roman Baths …

I set out to collect my biggest son Rudi from Belfast International Airport and took the camera along as the weather was changeable with occasional sun. I drove the back roads from home (Ardsbeg, Gortahork - Donegal), over the Muckish Gap (Muckish is a local mountain see description), pas…

At Gatwick Airport you wait in the ccenter of the airport until they post you gate. It was interest…

Shrophire is the county where I was born and grew up.  We spent some time here with my family and its a place teeming with wonderful history going back as far as the Roman times.

Well our vacation is over!  We are sitting in Heathrow waiting to find out what gate our flight will be leaving from.  This is one of the busiest (if not "the" busiest) airports in the world. It is so busy, they didn’t even know what gate we were going to be boarding at…and that was 2…

For a while.  Pictures of stone animals in the capital.  I don't know if I can be bothered though.These two are on my walk to work.

Our last real day of the tour began with, gosh, a bus trip! Haha.  A short trip to Blenham Palace for an hours tour. Again inside we were not allowed pictures. It's a beautiful building and the grounds, gardens and statues are wonderful. Like all Palaces in the United Kingdom the garden…

Last year in September I visited London for the first time. Love the underground and busses. So travel in London is so so nice! You can get anywhere at anytime. And London does not have to cost much! Ofcourse you need to go in the eye of London (oké this is expensive), see the (not …
