Vinnytsia, Ukraine
So we are bobbing our way through the ukraine quite literally. The roads are bad and in the main awful. If this is a sign of things to come i'll need to services of a good chiropractor or something similar upon my return. By and large the ukraine is yet to get me excited apart from finally gettin in! Hopefully tomorrow will yield big landscapes and more opportunity to sample local wildlife! David.

Stansted Airport, UK
welcome to Stanstead airport and would the real aircraft operators please stand up. Once again Ryanair give of the professionalism of a bunch of school prefects! Mean well but in essence completely useless and you would rather talk to a grown up! I have come to learn through my time with on frills airlines final call actually means corall like farm animals at feeding time but don't expect to get on the plane...... Oh no that is far to elementary my dear watson. Just wait while we bash the keyboard and fiddle with our radios in a fruitless attempt to look vaguely like we are working human beings and not just blue robots made up to look like wannabe wags! Next time your going part this way look out for sharon she is the one with her shoes on the wrong feet and the intellectual capability of a disconnected light bulb! And if you listen carefully you'll here her ipod on repeat reminding her to breathe!
