We arrived at Madrid at about 6.30am this morning after an 8 hour flight. During that time the clocks also went back which made it even worse.We have another 5 hour wait for our flight to Tenerife. To try to make this a little more relaxing we have booked a lounge for the duration which we believe is near to the gate that our plane will leave from.Whenever we visit Madrid airport we always see

Yesterday we spent our last day in the Blue Mountains. We acted like tourists and went to Scenic World where we took all of the trams and cable cars over the valley. The tram had a glass floor so you could see all the way down into the canyon and we went over the top of Katoomba Falls. Paul is a whiz driving on the left. We went to a park that is known for wild kangaroos but alas there were no

I absolutly love Moore River. It is just over an hour 80km North of Perth and you feel like you are a million miles from anywhere. There is one shop at the caravan park and one shop at the petrol station no mobile phone coverage and absolutly nothing else to do but go to the beach play on the river play ball sports or hidey in the dark and RELAX I love it.So we39ve just had our annu

Meanwhile at the Dallas Inn in Puerto Princesa in my best cartoon narrator voice I found my way into a van to El Nido which is a 57 hour ride through the same windy bumby dusty roads on route to Sabang. Something about travelling through the same road twice didnt appeal to me but as there is only the one road up north I sucked up my outrage and prepared for what I hoped would be a sleepy jo

After a day out and about in Tokyo we went to Shinjuku for dinner and then to Kabukicho Tokyo39s redlight district. Lots of fun and flashing lights

Friday November 4 2011 Day 9As you may have seen in the last blog entry there were pictures of the Great Barrier Reef. Jim was a little ahead on that one.

When the crew went through the safety orientation at the beginning of the trip they showed how to put on the life jacket and

Among international regions Asia probably has one of the most active and thriving sex trade industries the world over. It saddens me to hear of the girls taken from their homes and sold into slavery or to walk down the streets of Phuket Thailand and see how sex is cheapened and commercialized. I must confess that I find it hard to understand how or why so many people can engage in these behav

We will most likely have a drink somewhere though I am shifting to cokes fantas and limiting my beer intake. Se

Oh it was a creepy day to go to this monsters home It was rainy and the fog was so thick you could only see about 3 feet in front of you when you were on the lake. This didn39t prevent us from taking a ton of pictures near the lake hoping to catch a glimpse of Nessie. Unfortunately she didn39t make an appearance and doesn39t that often. We walked around the little town a bit and there we
