About waking up with a terrible hangover, but eventually this night started off with a lot of fun at the Cork Greyhond Dog Races. But it all ended less funny as something…
Month: June 2001
Dublin -> Douglas, Cork
About how a bad day started good, went slightly downwards and how alcohol got me all the way back up again. Was it because of the hostess I stayed with or was…
Waterford -> Dublin
Huh? Heading back to Dublin again? You are giving up? Or do you have to be in Dublin again for a media appearance to promote this website? Yes, indeed, the latter! Today…
Waterford (recovery day 2)
Today I stuck around in Waterford again, the sniffy nose allergy thingy is slowly going away, but every illness takes a bit of energy away. Today was about sleeping in and visiting…
Waterford (recovery day 1)
To answer your “What if you get sick on your travels?”, where here we go. I am not going to another location today. The nose-thing-allergy did take me out for a bit….

Maughold (extra day)
I am experiencing great sleeps in the last days, certainly as the sun comes up around 4am. Maybe that influences my sleep. Today Suzanne had to go to work and Paul would…
Liverpool -> Maughold (Isle of Man)
I moved on from England onto Isle of Man, another part of the United Kingdom! After a little media circus I ended up with the amazing Suzanne and Paul in Maughold. I…
Dublin (day 2)
About getting from one place in Dublin to another and staying with the Spanish Lluis. I woke up and saw a clock make his round. It was nearly 1pm before I got…

Today the story of the natural beautiful trip to Manchester, the story of the Manchester centre bombing in 1996 and my view of the city today. And what about the free meal…
Sheffield (day 2)
Once in a week I try to take a day off in my travelling. Just to arrange certain things, get some extra rest, update the website, etcetera. Lucky for me, today was…
Birmingham Airport -> Sheffield
I must say airport benches don’t sleep that good, so I needed a better sleep at the house of my next hosts Wendy and Colin in Sheffield… After I finally drowsed off…
Heath Hayes -> Birmingham Airport
Something else for today! How about a report about me being stuck at the Birmingham International Airport with no place to go. How did I survive? Thanks to the heavily armed forces……

Bristol -> Cardiff
Well, Wales is not exactly another country, but as a part of the United Kingdom, it is just something else than England – respectfully speaking anyway. Experience my stay with an Italian…

Paignton (extra day 2)
Actually I don’t want to spent a lot of time about this day. It was a nice day to do absolutely nothing. Relaxing, planning ahead, writing report updates, playing computer games on…
Paignton (extra)
After the circus of the first month and that up-and-down-to-Austria-for-a-day adventure, I was in serious need of a little break. The Devon County guide promised it and I enjoyed a few days…

This day was used to travel all the way back again, from Vienna, via Amsterdam (hi parents!) and on to Bristol Airport to end up at the Cherwood Hotel in Paignton again….
