Good morning (well it is here)all.
Arrived in Tahiti at 5.30am local time and managed (eventually!) to find a bus which took us to the port in Papeete (complete sh1t hole) and we then hopped on a ferry a small island called Mo-orea. Now before you all get the wrong impression.. its a nice place n all but its too damn expensive.. We got a dorm bed in a nice hostel called marks place..a shack in the middle of nowhere with a nice owner called (you guessed it!) MARK! Lots of big nippled dogs, leaf carrying crabs and mozzies! And worse of all.. no beaches (pol is not impressed!)
we therefore decided to depart on saturday to the cook islands where we hoped to find our fame and fortune (and maybe some cheap beer and a beach)

Holme Farm, Rowley.........East Yorkshire

rain 15 °C

Hi all,

Nearly fooled you there..we have made it as far as sun kissed East Yorkshire...nothing to report really.. had an interesting and expensive shopping trip into the cultural hotspot that is Hull. I say cultural because 1: I dont want to offend native Hullonians and 2: Because it reminded me that my culture is by far superior to theirs. In between dodging the endless Bakery queues and resin smoking scallies, we purchased a small pharmacy worth of droogs and sun tan oil. That was about it im afraid... its 10 oclock and we are test driving Pol's dads new laptop and after 5 cans of carlsberg export its a reet experience! Off to watch the best that Rupert Murdoch has to offer.

Lots of Love n Hugs

Al n a drunken polly.
