Month: October 2008

Hello from Hamburg

October 27, 2008 Ryan and Mel 1 Comment

We’ve made it to Hamburg – and just had a great day in the city.  Totally amazing place – loads of “wow” sites everywhere – very impressive – far too much to see in a day.  Weather was superb too!  Only down side was lack of WiFi in appropriate places…

Amsterdam 1/2 Marathon

October 21, 2008 Ryan and Mel 1 Comment

Well – what can we say! Day was perfect running conditions.  We were nice and relaxed. However, at 8 miles we both died!  A lot of pain as the picture of Mel at least shows.  I thought I was going to do a really poor time till Mr 1:35 pace…

Week 2 over – Amsterdam is homely

Ryan and Mel Leave a comment

We’ve survived a second week – and surprisingly just in budget!  Had a great night out in Amsterdam last night and are stuffed as a pig today (me specifically should be described as “stuffed with a pig”). Had a busy week (yeah yeah – everything is relative) – over to…

Lifes a beach….

October 11, 2008 Ryan and Mel 1 Comment

The sun is certainly shining on us!  Another lovely sunny day and just warm enough for short sleeves.  Spent a few hours with the power kite on the beach doing some “dragging” – and Mel having some more training.  She can now keep it up long enough to make any…

We have arrived – the trip has started!

October 10, 2008 Ryan and Mel Leave a comment

Well at last, we have started our trip!  We arrived via a very choppy ferry ride to Calais, and trusted TomTom to bring us to our first and only planned stopover.  The journey was rain, rain and more rain, and a bit of a nightmare.  We weren’t looking forward to…

Scouting For Girls

October 2, 2008 Ryan and Mel Leave a comment

What an excellent name for a band! After blasting this out this afternoon we decided the lyrics of one of Scouting For Girls songs was superb and worth a mention! We’ve booked in to see them live in Hammersmith in November when we’re back in the UK for a week…
