Blue

Our van (Blue) ready for van tour. All decked out with a fridge, cooker, grill, oven and even an extractor fan. I'm going to get a solar shower and some NZ stickers and we will be ready to hit the road.

I'm sad to say that due to the abundance of readily available drugs in London Alex has developed an addiction. This is much worse than the "P" epidemic.

Classic Devon

This is Lynmouth, up the hill is Lynton, they are joined by a water powered vertical railway. There was a studio apartment to rent above the ice cream shop, cheap as chips too. They have surf quite regularly, there were a couple of guys out the day we were there, bit cold though.

Puffin

This is a nice part of the north Devon coast. I spent all day looking for a puffin.

Obey !

Someone parked the Nautilus in London ? What would Jules Verne think ?

Just like a magpie

Yep Alex topped up our glassware at the flat and stole this Kronenburg half, a Guinness full and a Fosters ashtray for Eugene. Some other munters had bar stools, drip trays, bar mats the works.

Get out of jail free

Monopoly pub crawl last weekend, with a bit of luck it will be the last pub crawl I have to do in London town. We made it to 15 of the ?? 25 pubs that were on our list. There are some amazing little pubs in the middle of London that you would never find if it were not for Monopoly, dusty old half pints and hung over bar staff.

The thing that really got me was that there were about three other groups of Monopoly crawlers doing the same thing, a very friendly lass (check out the photo) behind the bar informed me that they get half a dozen groups every weekend ! There was one particularly drunk crawler that really knew where it was at..... He had a Monopoly board under his arm, looked like he'd been doing it for a week, slightly aggressive and was not keen on having his photo taken.

Leave the milk on the bench

Well.... this place is like living in a polluted blast freezer, I walked out of the office on my way home on Tuesday and got smashed with a snow storm, I was covered by the time I got to the tube station.

Lazy day at home today, Alex is hung over ! big style.

I'm going to look at a van for the van tour tomorrow, it's a 1992 Mercedes Benz and it's very very square, the most un - aero dynamic vehicle I've ever seen.....Perfect. Pretty sure we should call it THE BENZ (with some sort of diving picture painted on) get it ? ?
