Round and round and round we go
I've got a taste for travelling now - a real thirst for going out there and away from the 'same ol' same' - since going on that expidition round England. Yes I know, travelling around England doesn't exactly sound that exciting but it was, if nothing else, very interesting. I kept telling people that I've never travelled England even though I've lived here for 23-yrs, so I thought I'd put an end to it (although my geography of our island hasn't improved all that much).
I'm still envious about those that travel the world (namely Caroline or my brother), but still, going places near home can be as fun. So following up on my and Nav's England travels, we have both decided that Round Ireland (2006) will go ahead some time next year. Hopefully, I'll be employed and have some readies coming in (Layer Cake has some of the best London colloquial terms) and then take a huge slice of holiday time off for my Irish travels.
Furthermore, we've also talked about travelling Round London and possibly using another Morton book. For me, this will be an on-going thing, as I've started to investigate London town a lot more recently and finding the diversity of it all quite, quite appealing.
So it looks like this could be the start of my own 'Round...' series. If funds increase, I could well take it abroad, but for the time being I'd like to think of it as my own Michael Palin-esque travel adventures.
Feel free to post comments of places for me to visit, be it England, Ireland or London:

Sounds like a cool idea. I've never really been someone who really yearns for holidays but these sort of adventures really inspire me.
...when I say inspire I mean it would be nice to go but due to work I can't so I'll let you have all the fun and have secondary fun by reading your stories. Fair compromise?
