  I didn’t have to get up too early on the morning of the flight.  My lovely colleague had invited me to stay with her family overnight, in Reading, so I could just get the express bus to Heathrow in the morning.  This made a huge, huge difference to the day and saved me the costs…

People who know me in personal would say that it wasn’t me - to buy a ticket one day before the trip, leave everything here just like that and go for a weekend to UK. Moreover, coming back not to Vilnius, but Riga. Telling the truth, I just needed some changes, some new places and new e…

The cab picked us up at 5 am and we checked in easily. Almost nobody was at the counters. We found a place to have a sandwich and we know that the trip really was started. Our flight to London was on time, but it was ruined by waiting at heathrow airport to find a place for the plain to unload. It …

Alarm clock rang at 9 am. I got up, had breakfast and took the train from Düsseldorf central station to Cologne Airport. The plane to Edinburgh left at 2 am and arrived at 3 am. Thanks to time difference, I lost just one hour on the flight though the flight took two hours. I got to the hostel at 4…

I studied in the University of Birmingham, the UK, from 2000 to 2002. I enjoyed so much and experience very much thing there.. I learnt the different cultures, mended my way to treating people, built my confidence.. the most imoportant is I, first time, in my life felt so h…

My beautiful country. Behind the scenes ;)

And so back to Sheffield.   The train journey wasn't quite as good as the one up, mainly because it was quite a bit busier which is never a good thing.   Also it seemed to take half an hour longer to make the return trip than it did the outbound journey for some reason.  Ok there…

We are pissing our pants with excitement about the start of our fab adventure!!!  Packing our bags...with nothing because Rich won't let me take any stuff! India Visas:  Done! Jabs:  Done! Passports:  Done! We are ready for the off on Tuesday...Woop Woop Parp Parp!!!

My first trip to London was back in February of 1995.  I had a pass on Virgin Atlantic that cost me a whopping $29!  I used the pass to fly Los Angeles to London/Heathrow and back on flights VS8 nad VS7, both 747-400 aircraft.  It rained the whole time I was there but that did not st…

My final day in the UK.  I was pretty sore from the long hike yesterday in Bristol, but that didn't keep me from walking miles & miles today too. Main points:  1) Abbey Road Studios.  The graffiti on the wall & gates was actually quite interesting.  It's amazing …

For the last day of our adventures while she was in London, Aysha and I took a planned tour thing-y to Stonehenge and Bath. We left super early in the morning and took a beautiful bus ride out to Wiltshire. It was a typical cloudy day in England, which added to the supposed allure of the place.…

A few more photos to upload (eventually) heh... stay tuned!!

So today is my very last day living in London after being here for 14 months. I can't believe that my time here is finally coming to an end. I am gonna miss London alot, and mostly the good people I have known since being here. But onto bigger and better things. This is the start of my 3 month jour…

On our first full day we went to Leeds for a shopping trip.I didn't brought a bag, only my suitcase. So I decided I needed one. We went to a store called Ace and I bought a cool bag :-)

Had almost all day to prepare, but still left it to the last minute to pack, as our flight was not until 22-50. This would be the first time all four of us had travelled overnight, as 13 years previously we had had a nightmare journey with our daughter when she was just 20 months old. Due to the …
