Sharing stories knowledge friendly encounters are characteristics of travel that create the experience and indeed shape the memories of new places.

Gestern war ich mit ein paar Leuten in der Pea Flamenca la Perla und habe mir eine Flamencoshow angesehen. Vor einer Woche war ich schon mit meinen Eltern dort und es waren die gleichen Leute die Musik gehabt. Dieses Mal war es allerdings eine Frau die getanzt hat und ich muss sagen dass das gleich viel eleganter aussah. Die Show ging ca. 1 Stunde und zum Schluss kamen noch Verwandte oder B

Zagreb is a modern and beautiful European city. I was surprised to see a vegan fair being held in the main square since this region is known for its carnivorism. The main square is full of shops food stands and there are parks museums a farmers39 market and a cathedral nearby.

One of Nicolas big plans for my time in Perth was to undertake a SCUBA diving course and presumably because then we can both get very little benefit from having passed the course together if the number of dives she has done recently is anything to go by.The big plan is to join the university dive club and join in on boat trips planned by the club as they are generally a lot cheaper than goi

1st November We headed off towards Geres and the national park. On the way we stopped at Soajo to look at the grain stores between showers. Also stopped at Cabecceiras de Basto as we were impressed by the church. The sun actually came out for the drive through the park which took us into Spain and back into Portugal. The windy road to Geres was beautiful with waterfalls and autumn colours

5th NovemberThree more days of driving in the rain and we arrived at Lisbon. On to a campsite near Guincha then took the bike into the city.

We went to a park that is known for wild kangaroos but alas there were no
