Day 2: Georgia

By Gaz under Bikes & Cars, Travel

After sitting up way too late last night, it was only the promise of missing breakfast that got me out of bed before 9am today. After breakfast, shower and packing we didn’t hit the road until after 11am

With a short stop at IHOP (couldn’t resist!) for a very late lunch, we had [...]

Day 1: Cherohala Skyway

By Gaz under Bikes & Cars, Travel

So, that’s it for our trip to Tennessee. Two weeks gone in a flash. For some reason we booked a condo in Orlando from tonight, but even with the best will in the world it is going to take us 3 days to ride back to Florida.

Tagaytay Volcano

By Gaz under Travel

Today we took a short cab ride, a long bus ride and a bumpy motorcyle sidecar ride to get us to Tagaytay City (35 miles or so South of Manila) to see Lake Taal — formed from the crater of an active volcano. Although the central ‘volcano island’ is the origin of most recent [...]
