Mighty Scotland

Going to Scotland was a lesson that ross and i should not travel together as we missed the train twice from Glasgow to Oban. the trains were 6 hours apart! but after that it was all driving, beers, haggis, deep fried pizza and mars bars. Oh and turning purple while we swam in the Loch Ness to find Nessy.

F1 and Brussels

The start of september took me to Belgium for the Spa Grand Prix that was a mixed affair. Friday was wet!! We were soaked through and so was my camera, it packed it in but lucky enough it only took a hair dryer to sort it out. The Saturday and Sunday saw the sun shine and we saw some great races, crashes and ate some great waffels. On the Monday we headed to Brussels the capital of Belgium and got to see the sights and eat more amazing waffles for a few days.

London in summer time

I spent August in London, peak of the english summer. Southbank came alive with the sun shining and the Olympics in town. Priceless London Wonderland was a perfect place to hang out with its massive swing, giving a great look over London or to watch Cantina ( an Australian acrobatic/ circus) or of course a few drinks, i did all of them with repeat visits for the drinks. i also had a look around kensington palace the markets and went to SW4 an electronic music festival. good times!

Ireland

I have just got back from a tour of Ireland. I traveled with paddywagon tours and was shown the sights of Ireland including the Guinness Storehouse, Blarney Castle, Cliffs of Moher and Giants Causeway. We saw the walls dividing Belfast and had a tour of the Jameson's distillery. 

The Bus had WiFi!

Running with the Bulls

I ran with the bulls and need to do it again! But not the 24 hours bus ride there!! The tour involved a huge bus ride to Pamplona, Spain. It started off with the opening ceremony where you through sangria around and party, the second day we returned at 6:30 am to run with the bulls. The locals were still partying from the day before. At 8 the rocket went off and the bulls were let loose and you run, don't worry about the bulls look out for the people!

Goodwood

The end of June bought Goodwood's Festival of Speed. I went on the Friday and the Sunday, the main idea is to race up the hill but to show off at the same time. Every race car and bike you could imagine was there, it is a must for anyone interested in Motorsport.

bikes and more bikes

Well my euro trip has started to change. It has become one of motorsport, it started with the TT which was affected by rain but still a great place to visit. The atmosphere is biker heaven you know that you have arrived when you dock in port and the ferry comes alive with the rumble of motorbikes firing up and from then on two wheels dominate until you leave.
Yesterday I went to Silverstone to watch the moto gp, didn’t go all to plan as I got lost a few times getting there and stoner only took second. In two weeks time I will be at the Goodwood festival of speed another motorsport mecca. In between I will be going to Birmingham to watch Jay-Z and Kayne West so that should be off the hook! Then on the 4th I am off to run with the bulls returning on the 10th, then I have no idea what I am doing…
