My passport finally came in the mail and I might have an internship. The good thing about the internship is that they have a company based in Europe that I can visit on the trip. The bad thing is that I may need to come back early in order to work.I found a ticket across Europe through Ryanair.com for only 7 euros. It's feasible to backpack and won't be too expensive. My friend is meeting me a

Again it has been an attack of the lazy bug that has seen so much time pass since our last blog but don't you worry we finally got some good bug spray and have vanished the lazy bug for good. I will try to keep this blog brief but there has been so much going on that I can't promise anything. First off isn't the easter bunny an amazing blokesheila we are thousands of kilometers away from home in

Hue..... We spent a couple of days here and it rained non stop We arrived in the afternoon after spending the day traveling. We had read that the train ride between Danang and Hue is meant to be stunning so we got off the bus in Danang caught a moto to the train station and booked the cheapest seats possible The journey was fun the carriage smelt of wee and the locals were all eating dried fis

Saturday was a sweat box in London We had to lug our backpacks to Baker Street in order to catch the 'Easy Bus' to Stansted. Turns out our bus didn't turn up but managed to get on the next one at 11am. The mini bus had no aircon so we we had to endure the heat for another hour. Took a Ryanair flight to Palma Mallorca which left me with the impression of a flying McDonalds restaurant. Took

18th April 2011.Finally pinned Joey down to come to a monkey and temple tour with me and thank God it didn't start til 3pm as we were both hung over and eager to sleep in. We had so much to drink and didn't realise and in the morning we both had patches of last night missing.We had collected a brochure when we arrived in the airport on tours in Bali.

Heute hie es Abschied nehmen von Venedig. Leider wurde der etwas holprig weil sich beim Packen rausstellte dass das Zimmermdchen Jasmins Geschenkette fr Mll gehalten hatte und sie weggeschmissen hatte. Groe Verwirrung und Trauer bei Jasmin. Giuseppe tat es sehr leid und er ersetzte uns den Schaden. Nun mussten wir aber mit dem Zeitdruck im Nacken versuchen Ersatz zu finden...leider i

Buona Pasque Happy EasterIts been a busy few days here in Lanciano where they do Easter in a BIG way It began Thursday evening with the parade of men covered from head to foot in black and wearing medallions displaying a skull and cross bones. One man the penitent man as I explained last week walks barefoot in the midst of them bearing a cross. Another group of four men carry a platfor

Enjoyed a lovely BBQ with the family today in the lovely lakeside town of Goolwa. Sensational weather meant that taking anything other than the motorbike would have been criminal. Good clear skies and fresh crisp air. The road surface between Strathalbyn and the Finnis turn off was like riding over yellow speed humps. After having a partial snooze I went for a walk with Peter along the lake s

This morning I woke up to the sound of heavy rain which i suppose in the grand scheme of things was pretty good going a week after i arrived. However it scuppered a few of our plans to go rollerblading or kawakying around Manly. So Plan B shopping around Manly which is always a suitable alternative in my book. The unfortunate thing is that the excahnge rate is very poor at the moment for st

Today is dedicated to gluttony.Ambassador Hotel has excellent breakfast. They have their own bakery so it goes without saying that their breakfast pastries were excellent. Which made me want to try more bread and pastries in Taiwan so we headed out to Breeze shopping center on FuShin North Road. A very high end shopping mall think Prada Gucci Loewe and a high end bakery that complements. C

Hello All Three days in Hong Kong have gone in a somewhat jetlagged flash C for Steve anyway I never seem to be bothered by it but we've had a great time. We're writing this from the Qantas lounge as we wait to depart for Perth.

We had a riproaring Thai dinner party with some of his mates. We took advantage of the wee

Now it's no secret that I like a bloke doing a blokey job you know something where he gets a bit dirty and looks like he's being capable. Yes that's it capable. But I've had my suspicions for a long time now that no matter how much I like to look on at men in action it's the men who don't usually get to get the opportunity to get their hands dirty who are secretly ITCHING to get out ther
