Wednesday, April 2, 2008. National Lampoon's IKEA excursion. Finally, the first London blog. By now we’ve been in London for 7 weeks . can’t believe how quickly the time has gone. After 2 weeks of pounding the pavement looking for a place to live, registering personally with 15 – 20 real estate agents (cos anything advertised on the internet isn’t actually available anymore .) and two unsuccessful offers on other places we’ve now moved into our London home. He carried all of our stuff from the side of th...

When we arrived in Milton Keynes it was pitch black (and only 5:00pm! And there are pedestrian and bike ways throughout the city so that you would never have to be on a main road if you didn't want to be. In a nutshell our time i...

Some people may think that we did the Isle of Wight Festival grandma style, but personally, I think we did it the best way ever! And Matt was stoked when he discovered the Guitar Hero tent which he spent pretty much most of his time at. We found out that the top three...

http://susanandmatt.blogspot.com/2008/11/summer-in-london-but-where-is-sun.html
Sunday, November 23, 2008. Summer in London - but where is the sun? We had kept waiting for summer to finally arrive in London - it never did, so to get our fix of sunshine, we did what alotof Londoners do . head to the continent. Summer in London seemed to take on the same, but disapointing theme . some nice warm days during the week, as Friday rolled around, the weather turned rather dire . humid, cloudy and rain! So where to catch some sun .hmmmmmm how about Italy? Neither of us knew much about Varese...

Susan and Matt: my Tour - what Mountains - Part 1
http://susanandmatt.blogspot.com/2008/07/my-tour-what-mountains-part-1.html
Monday, July 14, 2008. My Tour - what Mountains - Part 1. So after I bit of internet research – I found what I was looking for and signed up – well, I was fit and can ride a bit, how hard can 165km over 2 of the largest mountains in the Pyrenees be? Then I scanned my way to the end of the stage – a nice hilltop finish in Hautacam, this one only 1500m. Phew, well after conquering Tourmalet, this should be as piece of cake! Check out the stage profile ! Problem 1 – ok, got this one solved, after many...

Sunday, August 3, 2008. My Tour - Part 2 (the War and Peace version). Ok, it has been a while since my first installment of the ride through the Pyrenees, so here is the second and last - albeit very, very long! So, it is Thursday night, the night before we jump on a plane and head to the Pyrenees. I’m packing and packing – taking my bike apart (quite nervous that I’ll leave a critical part of it behind, like the front wheel or the seat! So, after negotiating with the helpful lass at the car rental count...
