Tag 1 in London
2 mars 2020, Angleterre ⋅ ☀️ 6 °C
Welcome back - endlich wird wieder gereist! Wir sind heute zu unseren Flitterwochen 2.0 aufgebrochen (danke nochmal an Janina und Adrian 😬😍). Nach einem entspannten Flug sind wir heute Nachmittag in London angekommen. Unser Hotel liegt etwas außerhalb in East Croydon. Nach dem Einchecken sind wir zu einem sehr netten Streetfood Market gegangen und haben etwas gegessen. Danach haben wir dann einen kleinen Rundgang durch Croydon gemacht. Wir haben uns die Croydon Minster beim Sonnenuntergang und den Clock Tower angeguckt.En savoir plus

Jour 325
End of an era
27 mars, Angleterre ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C
The last few days in London after leeds were a little sombre tbh, it had dawned on us that we were officially splitting up and it was definitely a bit of a bummer to be saying goodbye after such an amazing year of adventures.
Yesterday we went to check out all the monopoly places we'd seen on the tube but hadn't visited yet. We went to Trafalgar square, piccadilly circus (it's just a square not an actual circus), bond street and Leicester square, plus covent gardens but that's not in monopoly. It was a rainy but fun explore. For the evening we went out for one last trip to the pub with Sam, we played pool and drank guinness but didn't stay out too late because I had to go home and pack.

This year has been the best ever and I'm so grateful spencer decided to join me. I just had a little scroll through some of my old posts on here and its honestly unreal how many amazing things we got to do and see. Spencer was a perfect travel partner and I'm going to miss him very much. I can't wait to be able to look back and talk about our euro adventures for years to come :)En savoir plus

Voyageur I agree with Jud, you are so lucky you both got on well and made a truck load of memories together. You seem to have been away forever, and living out of a suitcase the whole time, something I could never do!

You've got the taste now mate. There's plenty to see out there. And when you get back you'll realise how bloody good Aussie is. Enjoy the last few weeks. [Paul]

Day 68 - Saying goodbye to our roadster
23 août 2023, Angleterre ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C
We said goodbye to our little roadster today. Our man in the UK has agreed to help us dispose of the car. So, we gave the car a good wash and dropped it down to him. In the coming days, the vehicle will be sold back to the trade for the best price possible. I had contemplated other options on how I might keep the car, but they were all impractical and irrational. The only option was to sell the car for the best price.

I am thrilled that we could do our trip in a Mazda MX-5. After all, it wouldn’t have been Euroadster without it.En savoir plus

Voyageur 😥 what a sad day. Keep it under a tarp some where so your girls can do the trip in another 20 years. 🫢

Jour 2
Day 1/2 - Travel to London
18 juin 2023, Angleterre ⋅ 🌧 20 °C
After spending 27 hours travelling to London, I now understand why my wife says she will only fly to London in future if she flies business class. It was a torturous trip being stuck on a plane for more than 14 hours. We had a six-hour stopover in Singapore and explored the vast expanses of Changi Airport. It is enormous with its four terminals. Rob was impressed by the self-driving trains that took passengers between the terminals. We arrived at terminal 2 and had to depart from terminal 3, which was quite a distance.

We arrived early at Heathrow Airport, and our accommodation provider was happy to allow us to check in early. So we jumped on the train from Heathrow and used my City Mapper app to plan a route to our accommodation in SW16. Once we had dropped our bags, we went back into Central London on the Tube for a look at Piccadilly Circus, House of Parliament and Big Ben.

We collected some food at the supermarket on our way back to our accommodation and we were feeling really tired. I think we will have an early night’s sleep tonight.En savoir plus

Jour 7
Unsere letzte Station: London
7 avril 2023, Angleterre ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C
Nun sind wir an unserer letzten Station angekommen. Den Mietwagen von Sixt haben wir heute Vormittag unbeschadet am Flughafen Stansted wieder abgegeben.
Dann ging es mit dem „Stansted Express“ Richtung Liverpool Street Station. Nach ca. 50 Minuten hatten wir diese erreicht und machten uns von dort zu Fuß auf den Weg zum Trafalgar Square, wo dann unsere Stadtrundfahrt mit einem Oldtimer-Bus starten sollte.
Dies verzögerte sich etwas, da auf dem komplette Trafalgar Square sehr viele Motorrädern standen bzw Kreise drehten und ein riesiges Aufgebot an Polizei dabei war. Ich habe allerdings noch nicht herausfinden können, was genau der Grund dafür war.

Dann ging es endlich los, der Bus kam und die Sightseeingtour führte uns am „London Eye“, der „Westminster Abbey, „Big Ben“, der „Tower Bridge“ und vielen anderen Besonderheiten Londons vorbei. Leider habe ich aufgrund meiner nicht ganz so perfekten Englischkenntnisse 😛 den Guide nicht zu 100% verstehen können, aber das was ich verstanden habe war wirklich super.
Nach der Tour machten wir uns langsam auf den Weg zu unserer nächsten gebuchten Aktivität.En savoir plus

Back where we started
22 août 2023, Angleterre ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
After nine weeks on the road, we are back where we started in London. We travelled 15,000 kilometres in our little roadster, and we had no issues - it was super reliable. I will be feeling sad when we part company with this great little car tomorrow, but I will have lots of great memories.En savoir plus

A Lone Turk at the Crystal Palace
27 août 2016, Angleterre ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
Picked up my bike today in Brixton, happy to be surrounded by Caribbean people. In honor of Celeste Olalquiaga's fabulous book The Artificial Kingdom, I decided to head from Brixton up to the Crystal Palace, where you can the remains of this paragon of Victoria architecture which was built in 1851 after industrialization permitted the manufacture of large glass panes (see en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crystal_Palace). All that's left is the stone surround and this statue overlooking it.

Then, I headed off to the land North of the River on the first stop on my cheese pilgrimage: the Neal's Yard Dairy. The shop was everything I had imagined, and one of the cheesemongers gave me tastes of everything! Sadly, the camera on my phone went berserk and wouldn't focus on anything, so I give you blurry pictures of delicious cheese...

Later on, I met up with my fabulous student Jacob, who just filed his dissertation at the London School of Economics! We went to place for cute drinks called Oriole in the Borough Square Market on Poultry Lane. It was a bit over the top, especially the "blue" corn in a pisco-sour-influenced drink that was actually baby corn soaked in blue food coloring (for real). A world of Orientalist nostalgia in liquor!En savoir plus
