    Its bright in Brighton!

    3. Mai in England ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    Brighton had much to discover! There's a long rocky beach along the south coast where we went for a swim and many lanes of local shops to visit. We met up with Maggie's cousin Saoirse Mai and her boyfriend Olly to explore the town, get some food, and go for a polar plunge. We window-shopped the North Laines (yes, that is the correct spelling!), and we found a bunch of adorable curiosities. Saoirse Mai was a lovely tour guide!Weiterlesen

    Tagesaufgabe - Check

    7. Mai in England ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

    Tagesaufgabe ist es, ein Schere-Stein-Papier Foto zu schießen, mit einem echten Megalithen, am besten official registered 😊 Wir hatten über eine kurze Recherche die Info, dass einer in einem historischen Churchyard der St. Leonards Church in Hove liegen soll. Nach langer Rumsucherei hat Achim den Wacker dann im hohen Gras vollkommen überwuchert und zugewachsen gefunden 🎉Weiterlesen

    Tag 2 - Lange Fahrt, viele Aufgaben

    7. Mai in England ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

    Das Roadbook ist so aufgebaut, dass es eine ganze Menge unterschiedlicher Aufgaben in verschiedenen Kategorien gibt. Tagesaufgaben, Road-Missions, Speed-Tasks, etc. Kein Team macht alle, sondern stellt sich seinen eigenen Aufgaben-Mix pro Tag zusammen und kassiert dann die jeweiligen Punkte. Mal sehen, wir entscheiden spontan über den Weg, Tag für Tag.

    Geschlafen haben wir relativ mondän im Mercure-Hotel (Danke Dir Nicole). Wir werden es sicher nicht immer so gut erwischen 😊

    Nach dem Frühstück sind wir nun on the road. Wir melden uns…..

    Happy Birthday Martina! 🎂    Weiterlesen

    Nach dem Bucketlist Tag in Stonhenge ging es weiter nach Brighton. Wir haben Koa mit einem Tag in einem Park mit Zoo und Fahrgeschäften überrascht. Nach vielen Tage voll Wanderungen und Steine und Museen anschauen wohl verdient😂 Wir hatten super viel Spaß☺️ am späten Nachmittag sind wir noch nach Brighton an den Strand gefahren und haben ein paar Leckereien gekauft und gepicknickt. Nun geht es wieder zurück nach London zum Auto abgeben und in zwei Tagen geht es schon wieder nach Hause.Weiterlesen

    Eastbourne und Brighton

    23. August 2024 in England ⋅ 🌬 18 °C

    Am Morgen schauen wir uns die Burg in Bodiam näher an. Ohne Eintritt, denn es ist noch sehr früh. 🤭

    Für uns ist aber nur ein unspektakulärer Rundweg, für Gonzo endlich mal wieder eine Gelegenheit frei zu laufen und das nutzt Speedy Gonzales aus.😜

    Durch sehr enge Straßen, geht es wieder zur Küste entlang und zwar nach Eastbourne. Eastbourne und Brighton werden die letzten Stationen hier im Süden sein, denn Gabis Nerven liegen blank, wenn die LKW Spiegel, sich unseren Spiegeln sehr nähern und Gabi hat rechts dann den direkten Kinoblick darauf. 🤯

    Eastbourne steuern wir an und laufen etwas am Strand und in der Stadt entlang. Leider gefällt uns die Stadt gar nicht so Recht und so fahren wir nach Brighton. Diese Stadt kennen wir und gefällt uns super.

    Wir fahren wieder den gleichen P&R Parkplatz an, von dem wir hier mit dem Bus direkt in die City fahren können.
    Leider ist der Platz nicht mehr kostenlos, aber 13£ für 24Std. ist okay.

    Am Abend schauen wir die letzten RTL Nachrichten mit Peter Klöppel und Ulrike von der Groeben. 32 Jahre lang habe auch ich die beiden immer begleitet. Glückwunsch den beiden🫶🏼

    Mit dem Bus geht es am Abend in die City und es ist wie immer was los. Viele "Verrückte", bunt gekleidete, echte Typen und so normalos wie wir, prägen das Stadtbild, füllen aber vor allem die vielen Kneipen.
    Nach einem ausgiebigen Spaziergang gehen auch wir in eine dieser Kneipen und gönnen uns ein Bier 🍺 und eine Cola.

    Es soll wieder zurück gehen und suchen für passende Bushaltestelle.
    Mmmh.... Irgendwie finden wir nicht den richtigen Bus und fragen nach einem Bus nach Saltdean, den wir auch dann nehmen.
    Irgendwann, es ist ja auch dunkel, merke ich, dass wir falsch fahren und ein Blick auf Google Maps zeigt, dass wir die Küste entlang nach Saltdean fahren. Wir dachten aber unsere Haltestelle heißt Saltdean. 😄🤫

    Umsteigen und zurück und endlich kommen wir irgendwann durchgeschüttelt an unserm Womo an und hauen uns direkt hin.    Weiterlesen

    Day 32 - Packing 💼

    3. Juli 2024 in England ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    Had to start packing this morning 😪
    Lucky we managed to get everything in! 🙈 bags are definitely full and heavy lol

    Had a quick trip to Tescos with Hollie and Debs today. Love this place! It's countdown/warehouse/kmart all mixed together lol literally you can shop for anything!

    Home to some lunch and final packing.
    Kels and Guy went with Hollie to pick Tyler up from school, then they popped to the park for a play before coming home for a quick swim! Bit cold for that today!

    Then came the time we hate most.. saying Goodbye 😭😢
    It has been a wonderful 12 days with Cory, Hollie, Tyler & meeting Leo. It was so special to spend some extended time here as it has been a long 4 years apart 🥹 We will miss them sooo much, already cannot wait for the next meeting!
    Debs & Graeme also welcomed us into the home with open arms which we are very grateful.

    🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 England
    I will never ever complain about NZ roads again 😅
    Love looking at the old architecture and learning about all the history. Gosh NZ is such a new country 🙈

    It's definitely been a very sad evening saying Goodbye to close family and also knowing that our holiday has come to an end 😢 I sit here and reflect on an incredible 5 weeks ❤️
    945 pm flight soon and 30 hours to get home. Wish us luck!    Weiterlesen

    Day 31 - Wine tasting..

    2. Juli 2024 in England ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

    Quiet morning here at Northcote. Cory is working.
    Hollie needed to exercise her horse so she took the horse and I pushed Leo in the pram, and we went for a walk.
    We had an early yummy lunch of pastries and bagels.

    Hollie & Cory brought Danny a voucher for a 1 hour wine tasting for two at the nearby vineyard Denbies.
    We arrived at 12 and started our Tour. We were given a tall glass of wine and sat down to watch a 20 min video on the Estate and it's history. The vineyard is 265 acres on rolling land. Originally Pigs and dairy then turned vineyard. It used to be the largest in England and even the Queen visited.
    Danny and I learnt alot about the vines!
    We moved through to the fermenting room where we were given another glass of bubbly (now remember I don't drink hardly!)
    Here we learnt about the process of different wines and how some are artificially carbonated and how some are carbonated naturally by yeast fermentation.
    We then move down to a wedding reception area where we were poured another glass.. and then it was a must to try the red so another glass.. 🤣🥴
    Our Tour ended here and we went to the elaborate gift shop. We brought our hosts some wine 🍷
    Hopping back in the car I was feeling rather rosey in the cheeks and a bit happy 🤣 Danny I'm sure was on point too 👌 🤣
    Hollie picked us up with Kels & Guy and took us to the river with bloody stepping stones 😅 I am telling you NOT great after wine tasting but we did manage to not fall in!
    After a short walk it was home to sober up and get Tyler from school.
    Kids had a swim.
    We ended the evening by taking the whole family out to dinner at the pub Hollie works at the Surrey Oaks.
    It was a lovely last evening of our holiday and tomorrow we do have the horrible job of packing 😪    Weiterlesen

    Day 30 - London part 2 🇬🇧

    1. Juli 2024 in England ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    Wow day 30!! Jeepers must be time to go home 🙈

    We did it, we made it into London and home by ourselves! 🤣🙈

    Day started with the train from Dorking to London. We had to hop off and navigate our way to another line to get to Westminster. Here we walked out of the underground straight up to Big Ben 😍 not actually called Big Ben, only the bell is! Fun fact. Victoria tower is it's actual name!

    We headed straight for the London eye. I had pre purchased fast track tickets as we hate lines 🙈 and it was well worth the extra money! We were able to walk straight on and the other line was huge!
    London eye was very cool it takes 32 minutes to go right the way around. Awesome views of the city, a must do but something you'd only do once.

    We jumped on the Thames boat hop on hop off and headed for the tower bridge. We did have an issue with our ticket but the lovely lady overrode it for us!
    On the boat ride we had live commentary which was great we learnt heaps as we passed famous places.
    By the time we got to the towers it was nearly 1pm and we were starving! Found a nice pub and had a delicious lunch. We deliberated for some time as to what to do next. We were all pretty knackered but also it was a long way to come to do the eye, boat ride and to turn back home. So spare of the moment we paid for tickets to the Tower of London, and I'm bloody glad we did (kelsey not so much 🤣)
    This was very interesting, we started with and hour guided tour and our tour guide was brilliant. He explained how they get the job, you must service for more than 22 years and he has met the king and attended queen funeral and these guys actually live at the tower! Such a nice bloke.
    After our Tour we headed to the Crown Jewels, this was awesome to see! 👑 unfortunately no photos to be taken.
    It was kool to see friendly Raven's all around the castle .
    After a quick refreshment we walked most of the other parts of the tower. Incredible history, cannot believe some of the towers were built in the 1200's! This place has been a Zoo, a Kings house, Prison, torture camber, quite amazing really. All in all we spent 2.5hours here.
    It was now rush hour on the tube 🥴 so we took the boat back to westminster to kill some time then took the underground and train back to Dorking. Home at 740pm we all had and exhausting but good day 😍    Weiterlesen

    Day 29 - Brooklands Museum

    30. Juni 2024 in England ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    Chauffeur Cory drove the 4 of us to Weybridge today.
    Here we visited the Brooklands Museum. We left early as when we went to book our tickets it was Porsche day 🙃 so literally every man and his Porsche was there on display as well 🤣

    The reason we choose to come here is because it has a full sized Concorde on display so you can imagine how excited Guy was!

    We arrived at 10 am went straight to book our "Concorde Experience" we couldn't do our Tour until 11:55am.
    This place is huge 🙈 we started outside by looking at all the other planes. We were able to board onto one that belonged to the Sultan of Oman. This was his private plane. He donated it to Brooklands as it was built there.
    They had a couple of Mclaren formula one cars and one even made of Lego!
    Quick bite to eat and we were able to do the Concorde tour. We boarded from back steps and watched a movie about the plane. 30% of the plane we were on was built at Brooklands also.
    The plane is absolutely huge, when it used fly the outside temp reaches 127° and the whole plane expands 8 inches.
    One seat cost around $12000 nzd to fly on the Concorde, serving high quality food and drink 🍸
    We were then able to sit in the seats and watch a slightly simulated take off and landing. This plane was so ahead of its time, it's a shame it had to be pulled from the air due to the sonic boom it made flying over land.
    We were even given Concorde boarding passes and certificates 😍
    Such an awesome thing to see in real life.
    So much more to see at the museum, aircrafts, cars and motorcycles for miles but it was all so interesting. Even had a London bus museum, and we were able to board a double decker bus at 2pm and go for trip around the town of Weybridge.
    Cannot believe we spent nearly 5 hours there but it was well worth it!
    Safe to say we were all pretty tired after that day! Lucky Debs and Hollie had a yummy pork roast on for tea with homemade Yorkshire puddings too! 😋
    Of course the kids had another swim 🏊‍♂️

    Bedtime won't be late for us tonight and the 4 of us are off to London 🇬🇧 again tomorrow on our own 🤣🙈
    Wish us luck!    Weiterlesen
