Well we've been back about a month and are slowly settling into normal life again following our intrepid travels. It's back to old routines but with some changes and those are mainly dietary. We dont want to regain the weight lost on the trip and yes it's going to be a tough call. Grant's time is spent applying to universities and apprenticeships in the engineering industry. Holidays are looming and we're walking in a Christmas Zombieland. It seems weird as every...

After being back a few days, Jayne, Grant & myself decide to hotfoot it to West Wales to catch up with the extended family, Clive, Gail, Owen, Graham, Wendy, Claire and Steve & not forgetting Sir James Dalton Esq. of the esteemed Black Lion Hotel. Grant drove his car up and was a bit nervous after not driving for nearly 3 months, nonetheless it was a pleasurable drive and it was nice to see the Autumnal colours as we travelled through the Brecon Beacons a...

We'd left our bags in Charlie's office and headed to a Korean Restaurant.....then we rushed down to the other side of town to say our farewells to Keith & Stevo. Getting a cab proved to be a nightmare and so the usual panic kicked in. Eventually we managed to flag a taxi down and then the driver played silly b*****s pretending not to know where Central was. It's time li...

We'd spent a few days at our mate Stevo's apartment, Stevo was traveling for a while and so let us take advantage of his pad. Administrative duties were in order, the fun of getting the laundry done making sure tickets for home were all printed and correct. Later on we moved into a Micro Boutique Guest House...Swan Vesta Hotel would have been a better description, still it was cheap but very small, we only managed to spend one night there and then opted for a ful...
