Yahsu

Actually, I’m afraid it is more like goodbye than hello.  Departed lovely Rodos today at lunchtime, and after a smooth flight to Gatwick and train back to Crowthorne, I am back!  I would have to say this rates as one of the best trips I have done :0)  The tour guide was excellent (thanks Andy), [...]

Greece continued

Have been offline for a few days, busy travelling, sightseeing, eating and drinking.  Tried to get on yesterday but Sat arvo seemed to be a busy time for interneting.  Have had an excellent few days. Highlights include
- Trip to Lindos, exploring the ruins of acropolis and the fantastic scenery.  Walked up to the ruins in [...]

Rhodes - Greece

It didn’t take me long, to track down the internet cafe in Rhodes, Greece, right next door to the Hotel Cosmopolitan, where I am staying for the week.  Flight over was different, they ran out of meals and there was chaos as everyone had to raid the snack cart - I had chips and chocolates [...]

Gatwick

Just a quick one from Gatwick Airport, on route to Rhodes!  At a £2 for 20mins internet, so will make it snappy!  Had to get up at 3am this morning!  Transfer to airport by 4am and somehow managed to fast-forward myself in the check-in line, so all checked in and through in 15mins!  Now have [...]

Contracts and Tickets

Well, another interesting day!  I meant to get out today to do some shopping for my upcoming trip to Greece, but awaiting confirmations and getting organised for next week kept me away from the shops!  I now have an official contract to do 3 months of contract work for Rio Tinto as an Advisor - [...]

The last couple of days have been pretty hectic, As you would know, if you have been following the blog, I have been in Brighton and then travelled onto London today, for a bit of sightseeing.  I have also been following up on a few other things with my trusty pay-as-you-go mobile (invaluable) and internet [...]

Travel pending

I have spent a LOT of today, looking at various places to travel.  Travel agent, internet, newspaper.  The good thing is..there are lots of options.  The bad thing is, I am really hopeless at making decisions about these types of things, especially when I have a do I/don’t I regarding the timing.  But, I have decided I [...]

Changi Airport

Surfing the net at Changi airport at a free internet port.  The cool thing is that you only get a 15min slot before you get pfoofed off and sometimes it can take 5mins or so for the appropriate web page to come up.  The flight to London is full, so I am stuck in the [...]

7 days

Well, about to head into the final week, before departure on Sat 17th May.  Have had a very busy and productive week, with lots of excitement, stress, fear…you name it, I’ve probably thought/felt it this week.  I was doing a bit of scouting around the internet and found an interesting opportunity to rent a flat [...]
