5 things I’ve learnt part 1
Posted by admin
So I’ve now moved onto the great state of Florida and it’s great. There will be much more to follow on Florida shortly. For now I’m going to divulge a few things I’ve picked up on my travels.
1. Coffee and laptops don’t play nice together
One part of my travels that I am still struggling to get over is my unfortunate accident in Edinburgh where I manage to bathe my laptop in a mug of coffee. Embarassing yes! but a valuable lesson learnt don’t pour coffee onto your laptop under any circumstances. Read the rest of this entry »

Ahh, I’m slightly disappointed at the moment. Its 3.43pm here in Dortmund and a cheap flight I was supposed to catching over to Paris at 4.00pm local time has been cancelled. I’m going to hang on until tomorrow and get myself off then.
So what of Dortmund … Read the rest of this entry »

Happy New Year !
After my stint in Amsterdam which lasted a little longer than usual a left for the neareast city. I wasn’t sure where I would end up so I took out a map and looked for something that caught my eye. There are a few places I wouldn’t dream of missing but I’m pretty easy with the rest of my journey.

So late night on the 26th (boxing day flight) I arrive at Amsterdam’s airport and I’m buzzing. I’ve been Amsterdam many times before and always found it to be very welcoming and never short of something to offer its visitors.
Merry Xmas

Back from Edinburgh and straight onto further travels after the pleasantries of the 25th. Amsterdam is my next stopping point and boy should it be a heck of a ride. I’ve a lot of pictures from Scotland to upload which will be up as soon as I can but pictures maybe it short supply from Amsterdam thanks to the ban on cameras. This only applies to the Red light district as far as I know but that is where the majority of my time will be spent, ha !
Is this thing on ?

To my faithful readers, an apology for you have missed out on a small part of my travel diaries due mostly to my undeniable stupidity. It all started back in Edinburgh around 3 weeks ago (how the time does fly) . I sat down smugly with a cup of coffee and looked forward to logging on and posting another update I also wanted to cast my mind to the future. Would I be in the South of France or would I be on my way to Travel in India. What happened next was pure sketch-show style comedy. As I left over to tap my keyboard I accidentally shuffled offa’ the comfy chair I was sat which in turn made me lose balance in the arm that was holstering my coffee. God damn over-sized mugs ! No explanation necessary for what happens next, a bit of smoke and screeching banshee of a waitress (I was both painfully embarrassed and flattered by her ’scream and run round like a headless chicken’ reaction, despite it not being her laptop).
