'Launch pad...'

From Around the World in 77 days... in London, United Kingdom on Oct 12 '05

Louis has visited no places in London
show more map

Well, i thought id start this blog in London - as thats exactly where im beginning. 'choose my first destination' says the toolbar, but i thought why put down singapore, when ive got a more imminent mission to make: Barnehurst -> Heathrow...

Judging by the monsoon-esque weather that crashlanded on UK today, its going to be a journey and a half to get this show on the road... hopefully, neither the threat of terrorism, nor weather + 'signalling problems' will prevent me from traversing awkwardly across London on my maiden squashed-by-backpack voyage, and my goal of getting on that Qantas flight, most likely full of backpackers comme moi. wish me luck!

'Mission to Heathrow...'

Hey Lou,<br /><br />How you doing mate? You must be so excited about your round the world trip mate!!! I'm so jealous.<br /><br />I'm currently 7 weeks into my semester studying back in 'dam and it's going well. Meeting loads of new really cool people from across the globe...making my networks now to facilitate my round the world voyages in the future.<br /><br />I'm doing Asian Business Studies as one of my modules here in 'Dam and it is increasing my desire to travel to South-East Asia. I've got to do a group project and 3hr presentation on Malaysia, Phillipines and Singapore - so any pics from singapore etc would be very greatfully appreciated.<br /><br />I went to see the Arsenal vs Ajax game at the Amsterdam Arena a few weeks ago. The game was a bit disappointing due to an abismal ref but the atmosphere was cool.<br /><br />I've got a "study week" from this Friday so guess what?...yes, i'm going back to Portugal for another ten days of Sun, Sea, Sand and S... Scenery!!! ;) <br /><br />I'll send you a postcard if you want. Send me some postcards on your journey too please amigo. <br /><br />My address in Dam is:<br /><br />Room 134G<br />Oud Diemerlaan 110<br />HL1111 Diemen<br />Amsterdam<br />Netherlands<br /><br />Take care dude.<br /><br />Buen Viaje! Bon Voyage!<br /><br />Ciao.<br />Andy<br /><br />(aka Bourkey_baby)

You're so fucking organised, how did you get this shit to work. Does the little thing on the map move around as you travel or do you have to move it. Perhaps you've got an electronic tag attached to your underpants that senses your every movement. Hope the flight went well, and have a ice, cold beverage on me. Keep up the cotch.
