Tonight we saw these performers and had a whole lot of food. We hiked around 10 miles today up the east side of Jenny Lake.

So yes we definatly had the best van in the lot. It was graffitied with the beatles all over it. How perfect. It was an old mitsubishi van kitted out with a sink pots and pans a one ring gas stove thing and some matresses. oh.. and it smelt of feet. We were sooo excited.. untill we had been driving for an hour and we still couldnt get over the ruddy harbour bridge. Austrailia have not got good r

Sunday 20 June 2010 Sikanni River to Hythe AlbertaAnother pretty day on the road today. The closest thing to a wild animal we saw today was a large black lab that from a long ways off we thought might be a black bear. We drove through miles and miles of spruce forests with nothing going on but natural gas operations. Stopped at Walmart and Safeway in Ft. St John for provisions and fuel. It

Monday 21.6.2010 day 250Pre Inca siteWe went for a walk along the river today and found a Pre Inca site there were no fences and you could just walk in there was lots of human bones and pottery everywhere and part of houses. Very interesting but we did not have our camera with us so will have to go back tomorrow and take some photos.

18th June FridayCoached as usual in the morning which went well and did the mini presentations for all the players. Got some pressies off a kid's father got mountain dew drink and lucky charms cereal because they are banned in England. Me and Tom junior then watched the England v Algeria game boring or what. We then went to the pool for the rest of the afternoon. Later we went to have

We spent a day in camp today. Virtually the whole day lounging around the pool. There are 3 sections with each section increasing from one end to the other. The first section is around 100 degrees. The second section is about 106 degrees. The last section is around 118 degrees. So we spent two hours in the hot springs pool this afternoon and visited. We are the middle agers. Many baby boomers

Took a couple of photos of the suspension bridge over the Liard River just south of Liard Hot Springs. It is a really prett bridge and is the last suspension bridge on the Alaska Highway. The next excitement was encountering a small herd of bison that included several calves. I took a bunch of pictures and most of them came out really well. Then just north of Muncho Lake we saw a couple of roc

In Picton nahm ich mir dann den Queen Charlotte Track vor. Ich dachte mir mal so fahr doch mal mit dem Mountain Bike herum. Aber den Berg hochzufahren ist manchmal gar nicht so einfach. Am nchsten Tag ging es dann zu Fu weiter und es hat den ganzen Tag geregnet und ich hatte ungefhr 10 Liter Wasser in meinem Zelt. Aber der Track war wunderbar schn und ich hatte klasse Blicke auf die Fjorde.

Two days left before heading off on the latest study tour. 15 students and two teachers to Brisbane. Wish me luck. At least I will now get to see England play on Sunday after they finished 2nd in their group.

We started in the cool of the morning again today at 5 AM. We stopped for breakfast around 9 AM at a Cracker Barrel. Our first planned stop was Tripp's Harley Davidson to purchase our first souvenir Tshirts. Ran into three guys that are on their way to Alaska. They left from Michigan and have already been to Key West. After we left there it was on to the Cadillac Ranch on Route 66. This w

Von Dunedin ging es dann direkt zum Mount Cook National Park. Dort wanderten wir durch den Schnee und koman dem grten Berg Neuseelands sehr nahe.

January 12th 2008........510PM.......we were at one of the southernmost tips in India. I can call it the only southernmost tip of India.....but we must not forget our dear Andaman and Nicobar Islands Though we were tired with the daylong journey from the arabian sea cost of Kochi....watching all the fantastic beaches of Kollam Varkala and heading towards Thiruvananthapuram.....the excellent s

Ok this morning we went on a Gullah tour. Gullah is a languageculture of West African slaves that came to this area. First while we were walking to the tour pickup area we see what looks like someone waving at us and shouting Hi. I figure they can't be waving at us no one knows us ... then they wave again and I realize it is the owner of Halls Chophouse where we ate dinner last night. She

I should have been in Dhaka today and I was expecting that my blog No. 119 would have been about my trip to Bangladesh. Sadly I had to cancel my trip at the last minute because I was sick. The visa application at the Embassy of Bangladesh in Hanoi was more difficult than I expected even though a single entry visa costs only US25. When I called the Embassy they referred me to their website. I s

I was really lucky to go to Kerala along with my family and on top of that.........my love for hill stations made me even happier to visit Munnar. Though it was a short trip Just from Morning 11AM to Sunset I can remember each and every moment of that trip. So I felt that my travelling experience is worth sharing here.Right after my semester exams I was really yearning for a break after the h

We took an overnight bus from Brisbane to Sydney eating up the miles along the Gold Coast over a long 16 hour journey. The trip meant that we missed out a few famous places like Byron Bay but with the weather still poor the beaches held little allure.
