They come at you from all directions even on the footpaths which
Week 46 Surfers Paradise to Byron Bay OZ
I had to change hotels for my last night in Surfers which was OK but a bit of a waste as the room had a great wide balcony and it was raining hard in Paradise. What do you do when you are starving hungry on a wet day Easy you go to Hard Rock Cafe for a burger and it was a great burger too. I mooched about town loaded a blog edition and tried to find nocost things to do. Its hard as this p

PARIS BY SEGWAY

It ends up costing 11.60 Euros between us big differenceSEGWAY TOURWe head to the Eiffel Tower wh

Wanderlust in Kanchanaburi Expedition Day 2
Waking up bright and early to a longtailed boat passing by which rocked our entire floating hotel on the river it still takes me awhile after I wake up to realize that I'm actually in Thailand and this is not a dream.

Thursday July 22Dear diary I didn't do much today I just sat in the apartment reading my book and in the afternoon I finally built up the enthusiasm to walk around Montparnasse.
