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).
5 things I’ve learnt part 1

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 »
Gladiator Style

Being a massive fan of all things gladiator Rome has always held a certain fascination for me. I wasn’t too aware of anything else I would really love to do more than visit the Colosseum when I arrived in Rome and what an experience it was.

Just checking in. France and Paris was great. I actually ended up moving on from Paris to Nantes for a few days as I have really enjoyed myself in Paris. My next stop is Rome, Italy and I’m going with a friend.
The Paris Experience

Following on from Dortmund Paris has been much better. As I said in my last post after the boring experience in Dortmund I decided to do the tourist thing in France and it has been great. Read the rest of this entry »
Moving on from Dortmund
Posted by admin
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.
Living in Luxury at San Diego
Posted by admin
And I wonder why my budget is on its last legs! Following on from my last post I’ve been looking into San Diego luxury vacation rental. San Diego and California is a beautiful and place and there is lots to-do so having a great place to come back to would be great.
From what I can remember San Diego has a great list of attractions and my last trip there included a neat cruise- this bit I do remember, so I would like to relax a bit more in a upmarket renting. I’ll definatley need to be looking at San Diego furnished vacation rentals at the very least.
Anyway I’m getting ahead of myself. I’ll keep looking at vacation rental San Diego and decide whether to go upmarket or get a modest place. I’ve a few other places to visit first so will see how my budget is looking closer to the time.
