Been booked up for a while now, since the Champions League draw was made at the end of August. Not even the defeat by Unirea three weeks ago has put me off, Done as much research as I can, now just need to see how it goes on the ground. Preperations started earlier in the week, stocking up on my s…

Spent the night at Gatwick airport and awakened to a huge mob at the check-in terminal, literally thousands of people waiting in line. Apparently a huge plot was just uncovered to blow up planes from London to the USA on the very morning I am taking a flight from London to the U…

With no feet left we kept going on! On this day we should go back home to Holland but before that i would like to see some things i had planned to see!! We stayed in the neighbourhood of Hyde Park so the most logical thing to see was Buckingham Palace. We had to take the subway line to Glouchester …

After dreaming about this trip for years,in May last year i finally booked flights that would take me and my girlfriend Stacey round the world anti-clockwise.The flights are London,UK->  Los Angeles,USA -> Tokyo,Japan -> Singapore  (overland segment) to Beijing -> New Dehli,I…

I need to find someone that can invent a teleportation device... I seem to spend just as much time getting to airports and hanging around waiting for my flight as I spend on the actual flights themselves! Oh well... it gets the trip started that much sooner! My friend Jude and I decided that we wa…

I have a special place in my heart for London, England, so it was only fitting that it be my first international destination.  First off a person very dear to me while growing up was obsessed with England.  He knew all the history, made drawings of various sites there and planned on movin…

     I am admittedly an animal person to the point that in most cases I would rather be surrounded by and take pictures of animals rather than people. As a result, I end up with many, many random animal pics that I have taken on vacation so here they are..... cute Scottish anima…

No pictures to add to this particular entry, as I was too tired and crabby to take pictures. Dad picked me up to take me to the airport, and traffic was so light, we ended up there quite early. Which I didn't mind, because I wanted to get a decent seat. Arrived to discover that the flight was delay…

this was an emotional trip to UK... went back to the places i was spending time when i was studying there... just to take pics of them... & of course to meet my special friend!

The night was a lot better then the night before. We didn't even hear 2 other persons coming in, while one of them was sleeping above me in the bunk beds. We packed our bags, checked out, left our luggage in the luggage room and then went to Harrods. Harrods is very very big. But not as amazing as …

Before I start, I need to stress that is Holy Island isn't a reglious meeting place or anything its just a name (strange name) but a name its been give. Some people were giving me strange looks thinking I was going to pray or something in this place. I also found out there is a Holy Island on …

It's Sunday and it's match day. Ben and I woke up in excitement. It was his first time too. hahaha. We got dressed, hung around the living room, used the internet and had tea. Not long after, Alvin woke up. We got ready to meet the other guys for brunch. I ate the usual hearty English bre…

Im into the final 2 days of working life - for a while at least - and im looking at my bank balance wondering how i managed to save so much money..... then i remember i have lived like a hermit for the past 6 months.  LA first.... they say learn to walk before you can  run so i hop…

The last couple days have been busy, on and off.  So much in fact I can't really remember what happened when.  I'll try to piece together the last few days...Its really just been trying to lay down the job thing.  Carluccio's isn't going to work out, I'm not a fan of being jerked aro…

Well, I think you all imagine what is this blog about. Yes, is about London and my travel addiction to that city. I came yesterday and I'm already checking flights to go on January. It's that normal? For me London is the most exciting, lively, cosmopolitan, chic and addictive city in Europe!
