Baoding China

Got up late this morning seem to be getting into a late to bed late to rise regime We decided to go on the island hopping tour in the afternoon. Kat and Jim also booked onto it. We got into a crammed little van to go to the port which luckily was only 1km away. The boat we were on was really cool smacking off the waves and bobbing up and down spraying us all with water. We went first to swim i

17th April lsquo09 The colour of onersquos deckchair is crucial it calls into question onersquos sexuality. The good news then is that my deckchair left in Zurich was not in fact ruined but rescued by another driver hawkeyed Ken. The bad news.. Erm there isnrsquot any bad news except that most of us could happily have remained at home for a bit longer. So no more pink deckchairs fo

Me Rob Ryan and Natalie went on the banana boat today it was such fun That is until he span us round and we all fell off and Rob landed his hip on Ryan's head Boat driver was a little more careful with us from then on The view of the island from the boat was gorgeous. Ate at the Indian restaurant near the hostel tonight which was delicious and a bargain as we get 10 discount for staying at

Hey EveryoneSo I decided to take the plunge and create a travel blog to document my Rome 2010 semester adventures After a long day of traveling our group of 34 ND students made it to Rome at about 7am here in Rome or 1am Eastern Standard Time.... needless to say we were all extremely tired and jet lagged but personally I was also pretty excited. Getting off the plane we went through all of the

Malaysia. It's more exotic than Thailand and slightly more laid back i.e. no one hassles you. We passed through the boarder by minibus without any problems as there has been 'trouble at mill' of late in the provinces of southwest Thailand we drove through the south eastern part. It gave me the opportunity to take in the scenery which was more or less lush pine trees as far as the eye could see

Jan 12Well my driver collected me early and we headed off to round up a few more people then hit the bus station. Where he put us on the bus and sent us 56 hours in to the desert to Baharia oasis. Where we were met by mobs of tour operators and touts. Our guide had no sign just said his name wlgdy. He separated us into some old 4 runners and away we went. We drove for an hour or so before stoppi

The clouds mercifully gave way and the sun was shining bright well a little too bright. But we were not complaining. Malik put us on a morning boat ride to Elephant's Island or thats what we were told for snorkeling. We were told later that snorkeling in that area is quite dangerous and illegal But we knew nothing then. After a 30 min speed boat ride the boatman anchored the boat. The water

Well after successfully getting to Heathrow with loads of time to spare we had to sit on the tarmac for over an hour waiting for the plane to be lsquodeicedrsquo. We managed to snatch some sleep luckily the really cute 18 month twin girls sitting next to us slept well too. The promise of a near empty flight and lots of space didnrsquot come to fruition so we had to content ourselves

A mighty cold night BUT an awesome place to be

I have finally arrived in Roma I got to my apartment late last night but by coincidence all of my roommates are from California and so we have the same jetlagtime difference schedule. None of us were tired despite the hour and so we ventured out into the city and bonded over pizza wine and of course boys. The coincidences continue we all went to Catholic AllGirl School. Our amazi

F1 Monaco 2009

It rained a bit in the morning but fortunately our flight was on time. The early morning flight was cancelled There was a large group of first timers in our plane. A steel plant had sponsored a paid trip to Andamans for all its workers. They were visiting the islands in batches and hence next 7 days we kept on bumping into one batch or another. There was a huge applause cheers and whistles as

My Time in Greenwich

Incidentally Goaway Czecitout is possibly the best name for a Eastern Europeanran travel agency in the history of the world. Genius. I was supposed to stay in Goa for three weeks with my mum but aren't actually leaving until tomorrow precisely double the amount of time I planned. I'm not sure why because a week is enough to know Goa inside out but I would guess it's a combination of han
