I sold the motorbike, warned the cat and let out the flat because I went travelling around the world. I left on the 1st August 2004 for a 12 month trip - I got back on 25th July 2005. I travelled with Miss George Webb for the first few months and with Dany for a while in Cambodia and Oz. See my itinerary for details. I have been keeping everyone up to date of my exploits here, via email and mobile phone. I visited:
