Merry May days to you and good tidings from tide-side as I write from the balcony back home in sunny Cornwall. I feel very lucky to be living right on the river in a small village just outside Truro. We live in an apartment that looks straight over the Truro river. It is a truly stunning place to be, so quaint, so peaceful and so … Continue reading Favourites Series: 01: Places in Southsea
About time for another one of these I reckon. Welcome to Day five of our mental African road trip. The morning began damp from the onslaught of the torrential electric night works courtesy of our new best friend, African weather, which did not make the early start routine any sweeter than we had come to know. The evening previous we had exchanged cobb and fish flavoured Uganda cash … Continue reading Day 5 – Haunted Lake Lodges – Uganda In Pictures
Day 4 and our alarms sounded for the standard 5:30am call. It was still pitch black at this time. The sun rises very slowly, with the sky usually clouding over with a light mist wafting about the countryside. We woke to be greeted by the first view of where we had actually been ‘camping’. Turns out we were situated very close to hippo territory with spots of lakes as far … Continue reading Day 4 – The Most AMAZING Game Drive! – Uganda In Pictures
We were up before the sun on day 3. The land cruisers were scheduled to pick us up from the hotel to begin our travels north through Uganda at seven in the am. It definitely wasn’t easy getting up that early considering our relative lack of sleep on two plane journeys! Nevertheless we washed before coviening at breakfast to fuel us for the road. Our first … Continue reading Day 3 – We Hit The Road! – Uganda In Pictures
Day 2 was a late start as we caught up on travel sleeps. There were a few errands to run in Kampala, so we caught a taxi early. We grabbed some Africell sims between us and withdrew the remaining shillings for the tour. Backseat tour selfie on the way back to Red Chilli. The roads are pretty gnarly in Kampala. There’s a chorus of the … Continue reading Day 2 – Sim Cards And Acclimatisation – Uganda In Pictures
Welcome to Uganda (through the medium of picture through my blog!) We touched down in Entebbe yesterday and spent today doing admin things in prep for our mega cross country tour! I thought the best way to document our trip would be via annotated pictures from our day. This way I can quickly update you on proceedings live in the Ugandan bush! Welcome to our … Continue reading Day 1 – Flying Out – Uganda In Pictures
Today I awoke energised thanks to the generous lay in we gifted ourselves, much needed after our ancient monument trek the previous day. Funny Palace did good to partner up with a café round the block for a brekky pastry and drink on the house, which at least gave us some cause to rise at a respectable time! Understandably the early birds who beat us to the bar … Continue reading 5 – Europe Via Rail – Vatican Antics
Yesterday began as each day has done this past week – steadily. Starting with my tired overslept corpse sliding out of bed way later than a man with a to-do list as long as mine should, just in time for lunchfast. Actually, I’m going to conduct a quick poll here, because I’ve been getting plenty of stick from flatmates and friends about a cereal habit of mine. Can I … Continue reading The Most Incredible Cornish Views
We woke to the tune of A$AP Ferg as Liam’s alarm reminded us to ready ourselves for arrival in Rome bob on 6am. It seemed like an eternity for him to silence said alarm so we were definitely all awake by the second chorus. Luckily the Italian man we had shared the carriage with that night was already awake, his gaze silently appreciating the view from our window. And … Continue reading 4 – Europe Via Rail – When In Rome, Get Lost And See Old Things
Day 2 was an early start woken by the busy rush hour traffic on the streets below. The French seem to get way too much gratification through using their car horns in stationary traffic. We had to be checked out by ten anyway so that’s just me on my quiet rural high horse having a moan. On recommendation by our aforementioned Canadian friend from dinner, we … Continue reading 3 – Europe via Rail – The Sacre Coeur And A Day Train To Turin
