From Dream..... to Nightmare.

As I sit typing this last post back in Blighty, I find it hard to comprehend what has happened over the last few weeks. No individual incident seems enough to warrant such a dramatic decision to end the trip, and yet I know I have made the right choice. In an instant the dream could [...]

28 Days on the road, 11 countries, 2 continents & 6,825 miles. It's getting real now.

P&O Come Onboard TeapotOne!

With the very first and last stages of the TeapotOne.com trip incorporating sea crossings, I was either going to have to ride really, really fast and hope for the best, or take a ferry.
