While the world I used to know sleeps I sit in a Starbucks (I know it’s sacrilege but I’m desperate!) sipping, no sculling, a cappuccino. Thought I was over my jetlag but today is definitely trying to prove me wrong. Day 2 at work ... Read more >

England: Parting Shots

Friends are surprised when we tell them the only place we have feared for our lives was in Alaska where big, hairy men with room temperature IQs carry large calibre pistols.  They will be equally surprised to learn that the place in which we felt the ... Read more >

Well, what a few days I’ve had! I have finally managed to do basic things like get a UK Sim card, set up my bank account, begin the process for my NIN number as well as find a job and so much more! First lot of big news..... Read more >

Things that go bump in the night!

Fri, 3 Aug 2012 | By leaandray | Views [366]

We spent the first night back at Edinburgh at the pub our guide recommended on the Royal Mile. It was a decent pub and we even got to see the Olympic opening ceremony and a live band to top it off. We met up with some of the girls on the tour and proceeded ... Read more >

You're Listening to the BBC

Thu, 2 Aug 2012 | By vagabonds | Views [953]

It was rather sad to be leaving the highlands and heading for Oban, flat land in Scotland doesnt have the same beauty as the mist covered mountains! Oban was quite a nice little seaside town, again with some amazing seafood and harbour views. We checked ... Read more >

As I guessed Scotland did get better, we left Inverness and headed up the coast in search for the Isle of Skye. We drove past farming land full of Hairy Coos (cows), gorgeous lochs and mountains so so beautiful, Slioch being one of the nicest. Along ... Read more >

Our next journey began with a quick side trip to Scotland, and I might add that it was incredibly beautiful! It all started with a 5 hour train ride to Edinburgh, and leaving at stupid o'clock in the morning after our epic farewell did not go down ... Read more >
