And you can see how it got the name then got to Londolozi and very comfortable we had to rush for our 1st game drive and it was for me really good being shown things rather than driving and looking at the same time but the plan was to find a lion and we didnrsquot helliphelliphelliphe

Family

I have been enjoying my time here in Lamia. The other day not sure if I wrote about it I went to a Greek concert. I can't remember who the band was but they were Great They played in an outdoor stadium and we sat on the ground about 100 feet from the stage. They played for 3 hours NON STOP The energy there was beauitful. My friend translated some of the songs and the lyrics were very moving.

The Blog is Back

What can I say I haven't blogged in a little while have I Sorry about that... but here are THREE in a rowThe first below is a repeat just to get you back in the swing of things and make you laugh.

So last night maddies friend from work who moved back to NZ a while ago took uis for a drive around the city. She took us to Mnt Eden a dormant volcano to see the city form above. it was amazing. Lights everywhere. And frezzzzzing cold. But luckily we had the warmth of the car... and we were even lucky enough to get a full tour of the red light district. it was like being back in Bangkok.

Moon dance

The June Full Moon party on Koh PhaNgan's Hadrin beach surpassed all my expectations. There must have been about 4000 people there apparently a quiet party and we made it our goal to stay awake until the sun rose which we did easily The evening began with a few GTs on our Power Beach balcony chatting to our neighbours and painting ourselves with glow in the dark body paint. Around 10pm it

From 107 degrees to 49…

Wow what an astounding couple of days I felt Jodys' summary of our time in Las Vegas was a little depressing so I might need to add a little to it . It truly is a sinful place but it was beautiful. After all if sin presented itself as ugly who would want to participate in it That being said it was unbelievable the hotels and casinos were so ornately built and furnished it was like be

Sac Dam

Just a quick update for the Sac trip today. The level was still high although a bit lower than last week. We had a pretty big group 18 all told with a bunch of new people getting their R1s today. They all seemed pretty enthusiastic so hopefully we'll see them out on the rivers again. I took my open canoe up and paddled it a bit. Peel outs worked fairly well in the OC and I was successful
