Motorbikes, dogs and a lot of traveling.
Naked. This past week has been better. I am still down in the dumps about little Meggy, but I've been out more and my bike is almost all fixed so that's helping. So far I have replaced the CDI, rectifier, battery, fuel hoses, fuel switch valve, repaired the dodgey wiring in the front and pretty... Continue Reading →
WARNING: This next paragraph contains self pity, wallowing and despair which may not be appropriate for all audiences. The past couple of weeks have been a bit poop. Firstly, little Miss Megan has passed. I'm so sad and not quite sure what to do with myself. She was a little angel on earth and I'm... Continue Reading →
Somewhere in the countryside on the outskirts of Bristol (I won't say where just incase I get into trouble), we went Urban Exploring. It was so much fun and I'm already trying to find new places to explore. So if you know of any in the UK, please leave a comment and let me know!... Continue Reading →
I love searching for a bargain and finding hidden gems. Ever since I was little, I've always loved a flea market. For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, a flea market (also known as a bootsale) is an event in the UK, where people sell their unwanted belongings. As you... Continue Reading →
If you're a fan of Only Fools and Horses then you'll know exactly who the Trotter brothers are. For those who don't, it is a brilliant comedy, about two brothers who buy and sell almost anything, mostly dodgy goods, in the hopes of one day becoming millionaires. It was aired from 1981 - 2003 and... Continue Reading →
Warning: This post contains images and references which may upset some viewers. This place won't be for everyone so please, do not read ahead if this warning applies to you. For us, it was two and a half hours of fascination, discomfort, confrontation and overall satisfying our morbid curiosity. A perfect post for Halloween. "Crime... Continue Reading →
I love riding my motorbike through the countryside. Especially when the roads take you to hidden gems like these. I've passed the sign for the Bee Shelter countless of times but never actually looked into it. I assumed it was a conservation area or something like that, but it's actually a historic site of listed... Continue Reading →
The first thing that comes to mind when I see 'Potato Head', is this guy. An odd name for a beach club but definitely one you'll remember. The Potato Head Lounge is located just off the beach in Seminyak. It is a little tricky to find the first time you go there, as there is... Continue Reading →
Okay so being home isn’t that bad... The autumnal build up to Christmas is my favourite time of year, so it’s nice to be home for it. It’s lovely creeping into winter when being chilly is a novelty that hasn’t worn off yet. Of course the approach to Christmas comes with a lot of shopping,... Continue Reading →
This was my best day in Chiang Mai... Actually this was my best day in Thailand... Perhaps my best day in the whole of SEA. After a week in Pai, we arrived back in Chiang Mai and I was in search of things to see/do. My biggest passion in life is dogs, so when I... Continue Reading →
This market is not for the claustrophobic or the enochlophobic. Once you step into the crowd, it’s like being caught in a current. You just have to travel with the crowd and go with the flow. If you want to look stop, step well over to the side, otherwise you’ll probably get trodden on. Penetrating... Continue Reading →
I'll start off by saying, getting there was not easy.If Google Maps tells you you're good to drive down a road, there's a 75% chance you're not. This has happened to us quite a few times on our trip. Also, every now and then we glanced at the map only to see that the road... Continue Reading →
This was our last stop before we got to Hanoi and completed our trip. We had booked three days here so this was our time to relax and let our bottoms rest. This trip has been incredible but my bottom will never get used to sitting on a bike for more than four hours every... Continue Reading →
A few posts back I said that Vietnam's roads aren't as bad as what I thought they were... I take it back. The roads are absolutely mental. If you look closely at the photo above, you'll see there are actually piglets in those baskets. I did get a closer image but I deleted it because... Continue Reading →
Hoi An is with out a doubt my favourite town in Vietnam. It will most likely stay my favourite town too as it's going to be a hard one to beat. We arrived in Hoi An after a terrible thunderstorm. It was like the sky was caving in. We were soaked through and feeling pretty... Continue Reading →
