I got up early to take a short walk around the town in search of some islands in the river Neil mentioned the previous day. I didn’t find them…typical. Our first stop was to look for some dolphins in the river, and Graham (one of the Aussies) swore ... Read more >

Day 0 - Arrival at St Bees

Tue, 31 Aug 2010 | By anijensen | Views [603] | Comments [2]

Uneventful flight to Heathrow, then a one-way car rental to Carlisle.  From there, a 1-hour taxi ride to St Bees.  Sounds cumbersome, but it was the cheapest and fastest way to get from London to St Bees. We walked to the beach on the evening of our ... Read more >

Planning a visit to Tibet.

It's booked. I fly to Bangkok on the 3rd October for the journey of my life! Not sure if I want mum and dad to come to the airport (In case you didn't know I can be emotional at times!!) but they've insisted. Isn't that nice. I later found out ... Read more >
