I've only been travelling for 3 weeks, but it feels more like 3 months. This is my second day of doing nothing, so I thought it was about time to catch up on a few blog posts and share some pics and stories with you from the journey so far.

I was searching for ages trying to find a good Team GB Facebook cover photo to add to my profile. In the end I made my own. Feel free to save the image and use as your Facebook cover! The writing at the bottom left of the image gets covered…

How many phone numbers do you remember off by heart?
I stopped remembering phone numbers back in 1999, when I got my first mobile phone. I know my parents home phone number, my phone number, and maybe one or two others.
