Mt shutt . Weird, so last night I went along to the pub at the other end of town (adventurous I know) called the last post but actually it's really the first when you think about logistics and pub location , anyways I digress . In the pub everyone was saying how all the north westerlies were blowing in and may as well have a big one tonight because the mountain will be shut. I sat and just nodded in awe of all their knowledge of the moutnain. True enough, you c...

Bumpier than any BSA bus I've encountered, including the veto ... A tough thing to better .... The roads weren't really roads , more like Tarmac strips wi...

Final stop over !!! Only one more plane to go ! Got a cheeky wee upgrade to business class .. Not quite first but still - I slept the entire journey . Missed two meal times ... Various beverage servings and woke up when I had to Un-recline my seat before landing . I mean they even have little stars in the privacy booth to make it atmospheric..
