Today was only really taken up with getting home. We had a lazy start to the day, showered, packed etc then walked slowly to the bus station via the market square again for some last minute photos. The bus to the airport doesn’t accept tourist cards so we had to […]

Helsinki Day 3 – Nightwish
Today was the day I had been looking forward to the most – the day I would see the final show in Nightwish’s world tour at the epic Hartwall Areena. We would spend much of the day at the venue queuing but decided to take in some sights first. Helsinki […]
Helsinki Day 2 – Sightseeing
A fairly leisurely start to the day today. After waking and having breakfast we went for a nice walk to the tip of the peninsula that Helsinki is on, past the ferry terminals and stopping to take photos on the way. After relaxing for a bit to take in the […]
Helsinki Day 1 – Travelling
A very early start today to pick my friend George up from her house in Canterbury before travelling to Gatwick for our flight to Helsinki with Easyjet. The journey to Gatwick was quite quick and when we arrived at the car park it didn’t take long for a bus to […]

Africa Day 18 – Crazy Airport Security
Today I got up at 5am, had a quick shower and checked out before saying goodbye to people that were leaving at the same time. I took my taxi to the airport and it was really quick with no detours unlike on the way in. My driver asked for less […]
Africa Day 17 – Return to Nairobi
Another early start today with breakfast at 6 ready to leave by 7. Unfortunately this turned into 740 as one of the tyres needed changing due to having a big hole in it but this gave me a chance for an even bigger breakfast with a double helping of eggs. […]
Africa Day 16 – Back to Kenya
I got up before 6 to have an early shower before all of the hot water was used up and, after falling down the big hole in the campsite, found it to be a nice and very hot shower. There was then time for a quick breakfast and last minute […]
Africa Day 15 – Day of rest in Jinja
It was a nice easy morning today and after having pancakes for breakfast we relaxed while the others got ready for rafting. I decided not to take part in the rafting as I wanted a quiet day so took some photos and videoed them setting off instead. Not going rafting […]
Africa Day 14 – Lake Mburo to Jinja
The alarm was set for 420 ready to leave at 5. Most of us were not best pleased so hoped the walk would be worth it. It was a dark drive down bad roads to Lake Mburo National Park but on the way we were told we could opt out […]
