Manchester to Leeds
On the Friday morning after checking out I headed back to the coach station in Liverpool ready to make my way to Manchester. Stopping by the pub for a coffee while I waited for my bus. I enjoyed all the early 2000's R&B club tracks that were playing too. By the time I...
Strawberry Fields Forever
On Tuesday morning Kirsty and I took Ruby, Jess, and Callie out for a walk before I had to get to the bus station to head to Liverpool. Kirsty was kind enough to drive me there and sit and wait for the bus with me. It was really nice to meet and get to connect with...
BIRMINGHAM TO BACKPACKER
From Swansea I boarded a bus bound for Birmingham. The longer bus rides for some of these legs is cheaper than the trains and I pay the extra to make sure I get a window seat so that I can catch the views. With less than 24 hours in Birmingham I checked into my hotel...
VEGAN EATS: UK EDITION PART ONE
Let's kick the UK edition of Vegan Eats off with my first two weeks of meals. Well eating out meals. I have actually had more to eat than what I post about. I've been pretty impressed with the vegan options in supermarkets and such here in the UK. Labelling here is...
A Wales of a Time
It's funny that a lot of people have asked me 'Why Swansea', especially people from here. For those of you asking the same thing, 1. I wanted to visit Wales and 2. A week's accomodation is cheaper here than in Cardiff. (Rightly so, is the local response to that...
Bath Time
I left Bristol on a train headed to Bath. My timing so much on this trip has had me arrive in places just recently after some big event has taken place in the town. This time I have just missed the Jane Austen Festival which took place from the 9th - 18th September....
Catching up in the UK
I left Greece and boarded a plane headed for the United Kingdom to meet up with my friend Ryn in London. It was fun to look forward to catching up with a mate in another country on the other side of the world. Ryn had headed over for SWHOOP (hula hoop convention in...
VEGAN EATS: More greek food
Here is the second and final blog about the food I ate out in Greece. The main stand out for me in Greece related to food and service was how helpful everyone was at finding something for you to eat. There was plenty of options and most places were happy to alter...
The final days in Greece
It's nearing the end of my time in Greece and so I decided to spend my final weekend at Metamorfosi, in the Haikidiki area. This is pretty much the rest and relaxation part of my trip. The beach (with bar) is a 2 minute walk from where I am staying. I am quite a fan...
Thessaloniki
On Tuesday I left Arachova and drove for about 4.5 hours to Thessalinki. The second largest city in Greece, I have now done the three largest cities in Greece. Athens and Patras being first and third. I was staying in Sykies which was developed and built with the...
The centre of the world
After packing up and leaving Patras I was bound for Arachova. On the way though I noticed the Castle of Nafpaktos was en route. I am sure you have noticed by now that I quite like castle ruins. This one is in pretty good nick and was built by the Venetians on the site...
VEGAN EATS: Peloponnese
Instead of doing a vegan eats post on each location I decided to bulk the Peloponnese area of Greece for this post. Mainly due to only eating one meal in some places. The Peloponnese is the region of Southern Greece that includes Corinth/Loutraki, Napflio, Kalamata,...
