Travel Talk

Travel Talkhttp://traveltalk.blog.co.uk/I was inspired to write this blog by 2 (very different) trips around Europe. The first, with a good friend of mine, passed with the most pointless conversations about all manner of subjects, many of them listed on this blog now. The second trip was with a new girlfriend along a similar route. About 30 minutes into our journey and conscious of the thousands of miles ahead of us travelling together, I enquired "So, what's your top 5 films of all time?" She replied "Oh I don't like conversations like that." I then realised that there was a point after all to the pointless conversations I had had 2 years previously, if nothing more than to enjoy endless hours of being stuck with someone travelling. en-EUhourly82000-01-01T12:00+00:00Travel Talkhttp://traveltalk.blog.co.uk/http://data5.blog.de/design/preview/67/f2559c49bb7cbddeb7f556aee002ca_160x200.jpgWhich historical event would you travel back in time and witness if you could, any why?http://traveltalk.blog.co.uk/2008/01/14/which_historical_event_would_you_travel_~3577905/2008-01-14T23:20:02+01:00 <a href="http://traveltalk.blog.co.uk/2008/01/14/which_historical_event_would_you_travel_~3577905/#comments">Comments</a> Comments
