I'm going to be away travelling in Europe for the next few weeks, I'll back in mid June. I'm not sure what the Internet access will be like in the places I am staying, so I might not be able to update the blog while I'm away.

I've not been on a trip like this before, so I'm both excited and anxious about what is ahead. It will undoubtedly bring a plethora of new sights and experiences; some good, some bad, but hopefully all beneficial. I'll let you know how I get on.

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness." ~ Mark Twain

 "When we get out of the glass bottles of our ego,
and when we escape like squirrels from turning in the cages of our personality
and get into the forest again,
we shall shiver with cold and fright
but things will happen to us
so that we don't know ourselves.

Cool, unlying life will rush in,…" ~ D.H. Lawrence

 "Tourists don't know where they've been, travelers don't know where they're going. Travel is glamorous only in retrospect." ~ Paul Theroux
