Palin’s Travels features the complete texts from each of Michael Palin’s travel journals, as well as photos, guides and maps. His series of travel documentaries are some of my all-time favourites.

One or more nights were spent in each of the cities listed. Places with an * were visited multiple times on non-consecutive nights. The majority of my time was divided between London and Reading, where Alanah and I were studying respectively. There were also a number of other places that I visited on day trips, including: Ottawa, Winchester, Salisbury, Bray and Ypres. The post idea was gratuitously stolen from kottke.
About this time last week, I finished up my dissertation and handed it in. That explains the complete lack of internet presence this month. I’ve been down in Bristol for the last few days, hanging out and catching up.
As of this afternoon, I’m off to the contintent to bum around Europe for a month and a half. If you’ve got a spare bed or a couch, drop me a line and I’ll stop by. Posts may be sporadic, they may be much more frequent than usual. Onward, I’ve got a plane to catch.
