Back Home! So that completes our travel website! We hope we haven’t bored or depressed you too much! We’d like to apologise to the Final Year Engineers for the untimely update from Fiji at 4am, just a few hours before the final crit! Oops! ;-) It was such an amazing experience and worth every penny of the huge chunk of our savings we used! If you are thinking of going travelling then definitely find the courage to do it - you won’t regre...

Whistler  2nd - 12th December  Well this was probably one of the highlights of North America (joint with Vegas ;-) ). We actually had the insanity to take Jus’ parents on the Greyhound shuttle to Whistler (again as it was dirt cheap) but luckily, as we suspected, it was a much more pleasant experience than our previous journeys as it was full of student skiers and was a relatively short scenic journey.  We were staying in a really nice lodge,...

The weather until now had been very mild for the time of year however it took a turn on our way over - it was actually snowing over the sea! The Canadians were refreshingly pleasant and loved telling us how it hadn’t snowed like this since the winter of 1996! Victoria was a gorgeous winter wonderland ...

Seattle 23rd - 25th November Well what a relief to arrive in a nice safe city, finally we could relax! We were so relieved we didn’t mind that there wasn’t a great deal to do here. We got into shopping especially now as we didn’t have far to carry our bags till we went home. There was a fantastic market and we didn’t miss the infamous Black Friday Sales (the day after Thanks Giving) beginning with the Macy’s Christmas parade....
