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.
California - Sticking Around, Possibly?
Posted by admin
Just a random note on San Diego vacation rentals. Here I am still in the Bahamas I’m looking into moving on very shortly and I’m really looking forward to seeing parts of America.
California and in particular San Diego will be a big part of this state side tour as I am looking to go back to an area I spent quite a few years in as a child. As unlikely as it may seem some of my distant relatives used to live in San Diego so the area is not unknown to me. With my budget running thin I’ve been looking into San Diego corporate vacation rental in-case of the possibility of me doing some freelance work while I’m here.
One thing is for sure there are enough people around at my relatives San Diego place that I will definitely need a San Diego vacation condo rental.
The Seine River Cruise
Posted by admin
Today I took a beautiful cruise down The Seine River. Beautiful isn’t a word a use much but this really was. The cruise passed lots of old bridges that were quite enchanting and breathtaking in places.
The Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame and The Lourve are all based on the banks of The Seine which made for great passing points.
Airport Parking

More posts on the Dortmund over the next few days as I’m still stuck here, getting a little bored now ! I’m also looking to get a few images up on my flickr so keep an eye out for those.
Just now I’d like to share a bit of knowledge gained during my travels. This blog would be wasted if I were not able to pass on a little bit of advice from time to time. UK airport parking has never been better you can book in advance, find great discounts and all online. Go ahead and book online safe in the knowledge that your space will be reserved and you’ll literally only have to turn up and drive into it.
Some key tips include :
- Check your car when you leave it and more-so when you go to pick it up. If you notice damage before driving away you must report it. Why ? If you drive away then the company who have been holding car will not be liable. You have driven your car away and as such have agreed that you are happy with its condition.
- Make sure you pre-book. If you pre-book you can receive fantastic discounts. Also check if airport parking can been thrown in with your deal at the travel agents.
- Allow a little extra time for your whole arrival at the airport. This may seem obvious but parking up and walking to the terminal rather than jumping straight out of a taxi will definitely add a little time onto your arrival.
Gatwick Airport Parking and Manchester Airport Parking are two of the most popular destinations but wherever you are parking the advice above should hold you in good-stead.
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 !
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.
Bye Bye Cardiff
Posted by admin
What a weekend ! I must say I haven’t had any time to update this weekend because of the sheer indulgence + the whopping hangover that I will take with me to my next destination.
If I can shake off the shakes and get rid of my headache I’ll be looking to travel west to Edinburgh and spend another few days there. Drinking binges really wasn’t the object of my travels so I’m going to have to tone down from now. I suppose this weekend gone was just a release of nerves for me. I met some groovy people and one thing led to another.
Hello Cardiff - Where da sheep at ?

Well I’ve arrived and I must say I couldn’t have picked a worser time to get here. Its FREEZING. So far I’ve been mostly impressed by everything that I have seen. I’m staying in a nice little b&b opposite the millenium stadium which has great wireless internet and brilliant view.
Coming in tonight it seemed the place was buzzing. I might take a a trip out and see where the actions at or hold back until tomorrow. I’m also planning on visiting a few local landmarks while I’m here. Who knows I might even bump into Joe Calzaghe *note to self : Curb the excitement.
And so the story begins …

I’ve struggling with my ego and confidence all day to come up with a decent piece of text for the about page. Still nothing is striking me so look out for an update there over the next few days. Keep coming back you may be suprised.
Now onto more pressing issues my world-wide adventure. I’ve got a good idea of where I’m going and how I’ll get there but not nearly good enough which makes things all the more fun.
Before I step foot on a plane I’ll be doing a mini round of the british isles -Cardiff to start followed by Scotland, Ireland and The Isle of Man. Not necessarily in that order but lets see how things go.
So next stop Cardiff, I’ll see all you welshmen very shortly ….
