I’m an exceptionally well-travelled Wolfie.

Although there's nothing I like more than driving up to the football, I also like to think that I'm a Wolfie With Culture, and not ashamed to make time to see the world.

This page contains some pictures from my travels (and I've also added a lovely soundtrack from the lovely Josh Ritter. Enjoy!)

 

Latitude Festival, Southwold, Suffolk, July 2008
	Here I am, slightly obscuring whatever dull bad was on the main stage.	There were some pink sheep.  Their conversation was poor.
	I saw that the festival attracted all sorts of strange and confused people - even, it seems, some West Brom fans.  Guess what happened next...only kidding, kids; don't play with matches	I have decided not to try out body building.
Berlin, April 2008
	The Olympic Stadium	The Reichstag
	The Berlin Wall	Some German roads. Not a particularly funny place, Berlin.
La Rosiere, France, February 2008
	Snow in France	Snow in Italy.  Spot the difference.
La Manga, Spain, January 2008
	Trying to get into shot in Cabo de Palos	Checking out the (closed) pool at the hotel
	Visiting the (practically deserted) beach	Surveying the (still busy) golf course.  When do people stop playing golf?
La Rosiere, France, December 2007
	I am so cool I can ski and dress up in a comedy outfit	Here I am taking some time out outside Tignes
	Santa Wolfie shows off his moves...	...and soaks up some Froggy culture
Hong Kong and Beijing, September 2007
	Here I am at the Great Wall of China.  It was great.
	Trains between Beijing and Hong Kong were done out in the classical 'tart's boudoir' style of interior decoration	Hong Kong was big and busy...
	...and hot and crowded.	I tried the local cuisine...
	...and the local drinks.	I liked the local drinks.
	Here's a lesson to anyone who might think it's funny to mess with the HSBC lions.	Don't stick anything up a lion's nose.  It ends badly.
	And a lesson in perspective.  I am not, in fact, bigger than the budda here...	...It is, in fact, a very big budda.
Cornwall, August 2007
	Went to Newquay.  Tried to surf.  Turns out I absorb water.
Yorkshire Dales, August 2007
	Here I am at Bolton Abbey...	...cheery little place.
	To be honest the next day I didn't get out much, worried about the rain and the effect on my fur...	...very pretty though I hear.  I was able to imagine how it stayed so green.
Norfolk (Coltishall & Great Yarmouth), August 2007
	It was hot, hot, hot...	...and so was I
	Here's one of my favourite holiday snaps.	Unfortunately I couldn't get on any of the rides at the Pleasure Beach at Yarmouth.
La Manga, Spain, June 2007
	Here I am at the airport...	...and then straight by the pool to cool down
	Isn't that pretty.  I quite like the flowers too.	The natives were not all friendly.  I tried to strike up conversation, but to no avail.
New York, USA, April 2007
	Hey hey.  I've gone worldwide!  Here is an iconic image.	Here I am enjoying a little boat trip out in Central Park
	And although I'm definitely a creature of football (or soccer, should I say), I thought I'd try out a bit of transatlantic sporting action.   Frankly, it was rubbish.	Another iconic image.  And also some old statue.
	As a Brighton resident I thought it was only right I took a trip to 'Brighton Beach'  Everyone, and I mean everyone, was Russian.  A little surreal.	All the fun of the fair at Coney Island.
	Don't even ask how I got up there.	As ever, I made a few new friends on my travels.  This was not the most attractive of them.
La Rosiere, France, February 2007
	Did I not look cool...	...although less so when I wouldn't look down on the chairlift
	I attracted quite a lot of attention out on the town.  I think this was because I'm so hard that I wear shorts and t-shirts whatever the weather - certainly people pointed a lot	It was good to get out on the slopes to get away from the constant attention.
Norfolk Broads, January 2007
	As part of a cultural exchange programme and to bring you an in depth understanding of the pros and cons of 'the Graham Souness question', I went out with some bird from Newcastle	As well as talking football, we visited some of the major local attractions...
	...and here it is.	At the end of the day, Monty the bird made the right decision (we were going to exchange shirts, but I am too muscular for the puny bird).
Wales, August 2006
	We stayed somewhere I avoided pronouncing for the whole holiday	I made some good friends, and we plan to keep in touch
	Not such a good friend (and he's not smaller than me, just further away)	It was very pretty there
	I pondered life by the riverside...	...and scanned the horizon for an end to the ceaseless rains
Norfolk Broads, June 2006
	Enjoying the view...	...and making new friends
At the Sea, June 2006
	I don't get out much, so even a trip out the house counts as a holiday	Soaking up the sun

Ireland, April 2006
	On the plane	Checking out other drivers
	On the move	Looking over the sea near Dubin (regretting sitting in a gorse bush)
France, February 2006
	Enjoying the snow...	...and relaxing after a long day
