Thirty thousand kilometres, a mile stone. Or should I say kilometre stone? During our travels we have met a great number of interesting people from all walks of life, some travelers, some motorcyclists, others just interested in our story. All these people have had an influence on us in some way or another and hopefully we have been able to give something in return.

Granada had the Alhambra, a walled city dating back to the twelfth century with a remarkable palace and fortress to look at. We spent numerous hours looking around.

The site is one kilometre in length and five terraces high, they say it could of housed up to one thousand people. U...

Aside from meeting the relatives the highlights were doing a Beatles tour through Liverpool and visiting Warwick Castle and Stratford upon Avon. While in Bosworth we visited the battle ground where Richard III was defeated by Henry Tudor in 1485, hard to get ones head around this sort of history! Then in Fra...
