Having a sundowner with friends and family whilst in Laikipia, Kenya. As the sun set near a watering hole, over 100 elephants came out of the trees to drink and play in the water. The best natural high you could ever experience. Amazing.

Sitting in a café bar in Banos, (below the Tungurahua volcano) in Ecuador asking the Jamaican gentleman playing the guitar for a go. I took the guitar, cranked up the amplifier and hit my first power chord – simultaneously the whole town’s electricity supply went down – complete darkness!

Shown to our tent, in the Masai Mara, we noticed a big lump under the bed covers …so I grabbed a rock before pulling back the covers to reveal a hot water bottle.

A Mediterranean Cruise for a multi celebration year almost ruined when my mother misread the flight times! We turned up as check-in was closing to find only 2 seats left …after a few phone calls the airline managed to squeeze us all on! Mum hasn't lived it down.

Having enjoyed a week of excesses at the Hong Kong 7’s, we headed off to Koh Samui for a rest. It took forever to get there and on arrival we were faced with a dilemma – did we want the 2 / 5 or 10 baht a night luxury hut!?

On the first day of our holiday in Barbados, I waded about 10 metres into the sea before noticing I had something in my pocket…it was my iPod! Goodbye music!
