Travel In Pictures
Welcome
Hi ! My name is Richard and you have arrived at my travel journal.
You can read all of spiel and find out more about me here. I've been travelling the world now for a few months armed with a bag of clothes, a laptop and my incredibly unreliable digital camera. Enjoy the blog and contact me if you'd like to join the scores of people abusing me.
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).
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 !
The Edinburgh Tour

Awesome is the best word I could use the describe Edinburgh so far. I often wondered if this city was as great as they say it is or it was all hype but now I know. The drive down here was killer but the less said about that the better.
I’ve been getting about on the great public transport and after taking the full Edinburgh I can see myself having to come back again in the future to take it all in properly.
On the open road (sort of)

Who could of known. Picture the scene. I arise from my slightly soiled bed in a zombie like state to the b&b landlady banging down my door demanding I vacate the room. I finally get myself together and look onwards to the next chapter of my journey. Edinburgh was my target but my mode of travel was still undecided. The hours ticked by and as I sipped my coffee I thought screw public transport I’m going to drive myself down there.
You see I came equipped for this journey with my sat nav in tow. OK it will probably only be useful throughout the UK but as long as I have it I can’t get lost right. I sought out the nearest car hire place and got a nice but moderate car to take me onto to Edinburgh.
