It's all happening now!

This will be the last post in this format...

We have decided to take our blog in a new direction... correction, we have decided to GIVE our blog some direction.

Lots has happened, and its already JUNE.... my goodness... time flies.

But we have lots of good stuff going on, and will be updating the site, and adding lots of backlogged posts, pictures and other bits.

Bear with us... you're going to LOVE the what the next few months conjure reveal! :D

First: An apology...

Man, I need to get into the whole blogging my life thing better... We will never have a the greatest blog on earth otherwise!

So I am learning, and I will do it more... I have drafts... just need to publish and let my adoring public love my work...
*Silence.... Crickets chirping.... tumbleweed rolls past....* or not...

I have written a blog on my solo bike trip from UK to Portugal... I will make it live as soon as I have proofread and edited it... so bear with me... it is coming...

However in this post I need to discuss some bad news, with a silver lining...

Quick Update:

Although this week has been my little (middle) boys birthday, and I wasn't able to be there, it has been a good week. Saw him on skype and sung happy birthday...

I am currently in UK and am preparing to cycle back to Portugal. Both because I don't agree with paying crazy amounts for a plane ticket, and because I want to test myself on a solo ride...

So in a few days I set off.... and more details will follow! :)

Keep an eye out! :)

Modifications... Part 1

16/2/2015

We have realized a need...

For this to all work... we need to modify the trailers and the bikes to better accommodate a crazy family like us...

Not just to buy special parts (that's expensive!)... I mean, modify what we have.

A friend of the family has offered his assistance as he likes metalwork...

So it has begun!

... When you load up two bikes, two trailers , grab 2 adults, 3 kids and throw in 50km? An epic Cycle Camping Week ;)

Last week end it was my eldest's birthday and we asked him what he wanted to do.

"CAMPING!!!" came the energetic reply after we had put up the old tent in the living room to see if it was still worthy....

So Ligia and I looked at each other...

"Sounds like a plan!" we both said with a smile...

Our little 3 man tent... to serve us 5?!

An opinion on Portugal

22/1/2015

0 Comments

Today I was asked to share my thoughts on Portugal in one of the Facebook groups I am part of. There is a family that wanted to visit. So I gave them my own run down of what I think of my home country...

"While I am no expert on Portugal, I have lived here for a few months now and have come back and forth for many years since a kid - and I was born in Lisbon...

Portugal does have its good and bad...

If you go to the North you have a similar greenery and climates to UK/France. Green places devoid of constructions, parks, sunshine, lots of rain, etc and a lot cheaper...

Along the coast, near Albufeira

A stay in a hostel... In Edinburgh...

I have done it! I got to Edinburgh! As soon as I stepped outside the heavens opened, and there came the snow! :)

So I made my way to the taxi ranks, and was straight away helped to a taxi. They took me to the Halfords where I had arranged to meet the man with the bike I have bought.

I know and re-iterate that I am well aware of the risks I took to get this bike and to fly to Edinburgh. Well aware.

But it was a risk I was willing to take.

2015 - the year of getting better!

So... My wife has a Bike....

A few days ago we brought home my wifes bike. Like bringing home a newborn, we were very careful to make sure there were no bumps or scratches made to it! Then we had the issue of finding a space to put it... and the boys bikes... and our 2 trailers... oh... the house is becoming a bike warehouse!

It is a Wilier cittadella bike. It cost a pretty penny but thats okay, because we actually saved up for it!
Here is the brochure for the Italian made bike... The Cittadella

It is my wife's first bike since she was a kid... and excited by it, she is!

2014 has been a year full of ups and downs...

Crying... and joy... and dealing with funny looks from family...

With the year 2014 ended we are still adjusting to having said goodbye to a "member" of our family...

We are a Vegan Home-Schooling, Prepper family traveling and making the most of this life and sharing it with our 3 wonderful kids!

We are 29 years old, and decided to abandon the trimmings of a "normal" life and go learn and live off the land, on the road.

We are Christians and believe that a fulfilled life is a life full of adventure and learning.

We were decking out our car to be a travel station with everything we need to make the most of the countries we are in - this has now changed!

We are environmentally consciousness and try to make all choices based on a healthy knowledge of our surroundings... and what we don't know, we ask!

Join us as we prepare, travel and learn. :)

Site updates, life, work and new plans!

It's all happening now!

So much going on!
