Day 2 - Parks, Markets …
What a day.
It’s day’s like today I’m thankful that I like to keep a blog as I go along to remind me of where I’ve been. Frankly I’m sat here, writing, not sure where to start because this morning seems like such a long time ago!
We started with breakfast next door to …
I don't actually know …
I seem to have lost a day.
Careless,, I know but it turns out its because I pretty much did kinda lose a day…. 11h 45 min flight + 8 Hour difference… that’s the best part of a day!
Thankfully the powers the control the magic behind how many people are on a flight were kind. Very …
HONG KONG!
Good evening Old fans, New fans, and those who can’t sleep so are reading this….
So it feels a little surreal, but very nearly a year after my last adventure, I find myself back at Heathrow (The Airport for adventure don’t you know!), Checked in to a flight, off on my next …
Twenty Sixteen
So, I’d written a blow by blow account of my year. You could call it “2016 lines about 2016”. Thankfully I didn’t publish it. Frankly no one would want to read it.
But while at home the last few days. In and out of bed with a chest infection, I came to realise something;
No …
I didn’t fast on Yom …
A sweeping statement yet fundamentally the truth.
I’ve been thinking for a while as to what I’d do on Yom Kippur. I’ve established previously that I don’t believe in G-d…. and that I do love many of the Jewish traditions. I’ve established that although I don’t believe, I have a VERY strong …
Day 10: I bless the Rains …
Ok… Tenuous again… but we saw lots of animals that could have been in Africa….!
Today we went to Busch Gardens! It’s like a theme park and a Zoo/Safari all mixed into one! Crazy…
After some fun getting parked we headed on in.. and got lost! but eventually ended up …
Day 11: Errrr Shopping …
I’m out of ideas on this one… All suggestions gratefully received.
Today I slept in! (It’s a holiday afterall!) I met Hannah for lunch on the beautiful USF campus.. and we had lunch on the campus “Beach” (Sand round a lake!)… I even got a keyring from the …
Day 12: My Bags are …
and off I went… I left Hannah’s and headed straight for the Airport… My suitcase had a little tape on it to patch up the break it received on the way down… and that was that… bags checked in… home time final!!
I popped back to the Car desk to thank the Lady …
Day 8: It's a small World
Except it isn’t… cause I went to Epcot!
This morning, I woke up, packed everything into the car… grabbed some breakfast and checked out the hotel before making the 10 minute drive to EPCOT at Disney!
Ever since I was young and saw adverts on TV I’ve always wanted to go and …
Day 9: Don't Let the Sun …
Today we woke up a bit late… I’d wanted a lie in so that was no big deal!
We headed down to the outlet mall… where I managed to do some damage! (not a great amount… but damage all the same!) After wandering the outlet mall we decided that we’d try and get to the …
