packing and preparation and the final countdown

A day before popping to London and on to Heathrow (UK) - Madrid (Spain) - Montevideo (Uruguay) the bags need packing and every thing I need for 5 months on the waters round Antarctica need packing.

So I the week starting with the bank holiday Monday in London training ahead of the working trip south.

on the Monday after travelling down from York, I spent the next 7 hours walking around London, with a flying visit to the natural history museum and the science museum.  The weather for the week was warm, and the daily walk across Hyde park from Kensington gardens to Mayfair was a nice way to start and end the day.

over the week i seemed to have a thing for Asian food as it was a different restaurant and a different dish each night that required chop sticks to eat.

On the Saturday night having arrived in Bristol on the Friday, it was a day at the beach in the sun and then a evening out to toast my engagement and also to wish me off with friends.

  1. I'll be in Montevideo for the summer (from NYC) and was planning on interning at the pediatric hospital, but it would be great to participate in the conservation project. Can you send me some info or a contact? Thanks!

  2. I was only there for an hour in between flying in and jumping on a fishing boat
