Just stumbled across this photo of me at Motocamp Dordogne on my sabbatical. A little blurry, but I still like it!
All posts relating to my European motorcycle sabbatical in 2014
Europe by the numbers
Miles Ridden – 6,836.4 Tanks of Fuel – 39 Nights Spent Camping – 32 Countries Explored – 18 Hotels – 18 Languages – 14 Currencies – 8 Bike Issues – 2 All told, it was 63 days of awesomeness and I’d do it again in a heartbeat. Re-enty is tough!
Odds and sods from London
Just some other awesomeness I saw while I was exploring London. The last photo was taken at Cafe in the Crypt, a restaurant in the crypt of St-Martin-In-The-Field church. Lovely, quiet lunch companions 🙂
Touring the Tower
I finally got to tour the Tower of London! When we were last in London, it snowed and the Tower (as well as most of the rest of London) was closed. No such problems this time, and I spent the better part of the day exploring the Tower, both by myself and on a guided […]
Changing of the Guard
I somehow managed to arrive at Buckingham Palace just in time for the Changing of the Guard. I certainly didn’t actually plan that :). It was tough to get decent photos because of the sheer number of people there but I did manage to get a couple. It was really cool to see all that […]
The Ace…and more!
I spent several days in London, partly because I shipped my bike out of London and partly because I just love London. During my time there, I rode to the Ace Cafe (it’s loaded with English motorbike history) for a proper full English breakfast, visited the Tower and Buckingham Palace, and of course did some […]
Hoddam Castle, Dumfries, Scotland
Because of various schedule changes throughout my trip, I was only able to spend a day and a night in Scotland in the Dumfries area. My campsite for the night wins the award for most amazing view – I camped in the shadow of Hoddom Castle, a ruin that dates back to the mid 1500s. […]
Belfast and All Things Titanic
Today was Belfast and a whole bunch of Titanic! The Titanic Belfast museum was really incredible (not to mention architecturally stunning) – it traced the conceptualization of Titanic, the building, fitting out, and ultimate demise up through rediscovery. If you’re in Belfast, you should check it out. One thing I’ll have to do next time […]
When In Dublin, You Go To Guinness
I had a great time in Dublin. There was a great group of Dutch motorbikers camped next to me at the campground (they’re in the last photo with me), the campground was overrun with killer bunnies, and there was Guinness! Lots of Guinness! I even learned how to pour a perfect pint at the Guinness […]
Exploring Anglesey, Wales
On the advice of the proprietor of the B&B I stayed at in Holyhead, and because I had a couple of hours to kill before my ferry to Ireland left, I spent some time exploring Anglesey. I rode out to South Stack on some really fun, narrow country lanes and saw some incredible views. As […]
