Looking back on the year.

The year started with the Snow and yes l was stuck in Milan, the only flight l could get was into Liverpool... 25 years waiting for the snow and l was late... But it was great....



Then we all had a year of credit crunch, fat bankers, a world including the government who don't seem to understand what it all means, except we must keep it rolling at all costs.. Then War and Global Warming all in 12 months,, so is it time to think differently? or just carry on? what else can we do? All become hippy's, well l've been to some great places Tofino Canada, Koh Samui, Tioland Island and Ibiza. All the Hippy's got there back in the 60's 70's... Maybe peace and Love isn't a bad idea...















What a great place to visit, and even better are the people, for a start its true the girls are good looking, But so are the boys.. They seem to be very chilled, relaxed and just very nice people.
yes l am summing up a whole race on just a few visits.. but l love Sweden! x



































Winter is here and l'm planning the last trips before the end of year, plus looking back on the this crazy year..
it started with alot of work and trips, visiting The Alps to listen to Chris Bonnington a hero from my childhood,
boarding with Berghaus (l was on crouches as l have fallen though a glass table in a nite club in Hong Kong),
Plus visiting Shanghai for the first time which was great fun with Katie from NZ,
Then my homage to my favourite Tokyo.
l also went State side to see a great friend in NYC and just hang out,
its a great city to visit, ride, walk, talk and just watch people. Being from Europe its fascinating watching the American's. When l go to
ltaly l always look at them and think "They love their food" "When l'm in American l always think they love to make money."
So long complicated coffee's with 2%, great diners with extra side portions, "Would you like hash browns and a side of Bacon" it would
be rude not to, Apple store in Soho plus this great cherry pie, museums.
