Lens, France Yes we have already been to Whitby, but when we were there, it was Dave’s 70th birthday and he was inundated with friends, so we didn’t get much one-on-one chat time, so we decided to go via Whitby on our way south. Sadly, we only had a couple of hours with Biddi as…
Whitby, United Kingdom Here is a deep philosophical question – is 18 days enough time to see Scotland? And the answer is a resounding “NO”! But this was enough time for us and we will be more than happy to come back again some day. Can I also just add here that the west coast…
Dunscore, United Kingdom And so we are back in England and no longer hearing Welsh spoken around us, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that we can understand what people are saying around us. We are continuing to enjoy the richness of all the different county accents that we encounter but, boy! it sure can make…
Penyffordd, United Kingdom One of the things that happens when you travel for a long time, is that events continue to happen at home and sometimes these events are sad! Since leaving Australia in April this year, we have heard of the deaths of some dear friends and, sadly today, we must include Mary-Jane’s aunt,…
Chudleigh, United Kingdom February 1991 was when Nick’s love affair of his life began. Yes, that was when the Troopy first entered his life! Since March 2013, Troopy has safely taken us across Russia from east to west, Mongolia, through the Baltic states to Western Europe, through France, Spain & Portugal to Morocco. And then…
Manchester, United Kingdom I’m not sure how many of you have been following our travels since we started them last year, but in November my eldest daughter, Samantha, got engaged to an Irish boy living in Queensland. So immediately, we factored in the need to meet the Kinsella family when we got to Ireland. It…
Fishguard, United Kingdom Our first port-of-call after HUBB was Manchester to visit our son, Tyson who has been living there since January 2014. But we also received an invitation to put our tent up in Ian Coates field. It turns out that he lives about an hour from Manchester, at the top of the Pennines…
Castle Donington, United Kingdom Now before we start talking about HUBB-UK and Horizons Unlimited, we need to catch up with our visit to Belgium. Originally, we had planned to doing Anzac Day (25 April – for those readers who don’t know when Anzac Day is) at the Menin Gate, at Ypres Belgium. Sadly, we didn’t…
Groningen, Netherlands With our heads in the clouds, we left Nordkapp and headed south. When we knew that we would be coming to Norway, we asked a Brisbane-based friend of ours, who happens to be Norwegian, what we should go to see in Norway. In her words, “Capital cities are the same everywhere. Oslo is…
Nordkapp, Norway In our previous Blog entry, we ended with the cruise from Stockholm to Helsinki, but I would like to write a little bit about this journey. Whilst we aren’t being particularly ground-breaking in our travels and probably lots of Aussies do the overnight journey from Stockholm to Helsinki, we have to admit that…
