Tuesday 20th November We got up bright and early this morning, but weren’t out and on the road until around 10am, as that’s when the car we had booked to hire this morning arrived for us to take. The weather today was too cold for rain, but not cold enough for snow. We were showered … More RTW 2007 installment #9 (Nov 20-Nov 22)
Sunday 18th November This morning I was able to examine Doyle’s mouth a little better myself, and discovered he’s actually cutting his two bottom front teeth, not just one. No wonder he’s been a little fussy! We headed out pretty soon after breakfast and began the Freedom Trail. We first went to the Old State … More RTW 2007 installment #8 (Nov 18-Nov 19)
Thursday 15th November, part 2 We stuck around the Windsor Barra until it was time to catch our bus to the airport. At the airport itself, I’ve never been such a strict security regime. We had to have two security checks even before checking onto the plane, then your usual security checkpoint, before most people … More RTW 2007 installment #7 (Nov 15-Nov 17)
Tuesday 13th November It was still raining when we got up this morning, so we caught a taxi to the hotel the free shuttle bus left from. At the IGF this morning, I went to a session without Jeremy, while he worked on his presentation for the Online Collaboration Dynamic Coalition meeting tomorrow. The topic … More RTW 2007 installment #6 (Nov 13-Nov 15)
Saturday 10th November Doyle’s tent ended up being too hot for him last night, so he ended up in our bed again. The “tourist” day ended up almost a complete failure. Being Saturday, banks, currency exchange and tourist information centres were closed. So the majority of the day was spent in our apartment rather than … More RTW 2007 installment #5 (Nov 10-Nov 12)
Friday 9th November Doyle is officially 10 months old today. Where has the time gone?! Anyway, we were up bright and early at the bold time of 6am to pack and check out by 7am. We then caught the first taxi we found to the airport. My final, lasting thought on Lisbon is this: Why … More RTW 2007 installment #4 (Nov 9)
Friday 2nd November We finally had a full cooked English breakfast this morning. It was quite nice, though the baked beans were more boring than what I’m used to. We stayed in for a little while as it was our last chance for free Internet until Brazil, or so we think at least. We’ll see. … More RTW 2007 installment #3 (Nov 2-Nov 8)
Tuesday 30th October It was a fairly relaxing day today. I hung about Matt and Bec’s place until mid-morning when Bec, Cara, Luke, Doyle and I headed out to the Beeston shopping mall and I discovered the joys of Argos – a shop where you look through a catalogue at the front to find what … More RTW 2007 installment #2 (Oct 30-Nov 1)
Tuesday 23rd October The trip started out as good as i could have hoped for. Doyle didn’t have any major complaints, but he was definitely exhausted by the time we got on the plane to Singapore. He slept for the majority of the flight, both on me and in the bassinet he got to use. … More RTW 2007 installment #1 (Oct 23-Oct 29)
Quick post from the free Internet terminal at Singapore airport to say we arrived safely and Doyle did very well on his first plane ride. He slept most of the time, which was wonderful.
