Danes je bila zgodba povsem drugana e od jutra je sonce nabijalo sto na uro. Jasna stvar sem vreme izkoristila za tekanje tokrat v smer severa proti OZN. Pe kolesarska pot do tja je malce bolj zagamana ker so napoti ceste tako da je treba vijugati zahodno med avenijami in ulicami ampak na sreo le za kratek as pa e to je vse lepo speljano in oznaeno. Tekla sem torej veinoma

Well excuse me speaking with my mouth full.Cyclops is a guinea fowl with one leg who lives on the banks of the Touws River in the Ebb and Flow National Park in the shadow of the Outeniqua mountains. His lack of a limb does not worry him too much. He is a seasoned beggar and enormous as guinea fowls go. He also has a very clever lookingaftermyfamily tactic. Three quarters of the way into con

Last night the kids were pretty exhausted and they ended up sleeping for about 12 hours last night. Good thing we didn't have anything much planned. This morning we switched hotels to move down the block from the 'An an 2' to the 'Beautiful Saigon'.

Were sitting in the windowed gallery of the dining room waiting for our cooked breakfast to come. Im fascinated by all the tableware. Each piece of chinaware has on it the hotels emblem a pattern with leaves. The cutlery is silver plated as is the milk jug and every item has the hotel emblem engraved on it including the little butter knives. Its a genteel traditional elegant w

BonjourThought Id tell you the shocking news that this weekend not a single drop of alcohol has passed my lips.. and no I will not be making a habit of it Another week of teaching passed only 2 weeks left now. Friday I had to start at 9 but my morning was good I had lunch at the lycee with Paula and then walked home in the lovely sunshine. Friday night was a pretty quiet affair I stayed

After leaving Malaysia we headed north up into Thailand at the southernmost point and arrived just in time to catch the train heading north to Hat Yai. 3 hours later the train actually left and we had a hot but enjoyable 6 hour journeyHat Yai is pretty dull but it was nice to get a feel for Thailand in one of the quieter cities. We checked into a guesthouse which unofficially provides the harde

The people are not very friendly in the big cities and crime is rampant. Many people have come down from other parts of Africa in search of jobs.

I just returned from Macau I have been quite busy for the last month and have a lot of material now to catch everyone up on. My trip was what foreigners here call a visa run. This is when my legal stay in China is about up and I need to leave and return. My duration of stay is limited to 90 days so I have to take small trips to be here legally. It is inconvenient and a blessing at the same

In all honesty I'm pretty sick of India now. It started a while ago when in Delhi and visiting the tourist attractions and I started to notice that people were really staring at me. I'm not sure why I didn't notice it before. Perhaps it was because people hadn't stared at me so much before or perhaps it was because I hadn't noticed it so much... maybe due to being with other friends and not payin

Felt bit better last night so we headed for an indian then had early night. Got woken up early for a tour we had not even booked and caused a scene at breakfast as I asked for butter and jam for breakfast with roll apparently not allowed. They really struggle thinking outside the box in vietnam. No real rules but sometimes very strict over silly things. Went on boat trip today along the perfume

So here we are three weeks in and I've finally got around to starting my blog. Actually maybe not Ben's just finished dinner so I'll have to come back to start writing Back from dinner so here we go. I left Cowling on the 17th March for the long journey down to Gatwick Airport. Mum and Dad dropped me off at Burnley and I continued on to Gatwick via Manchester and London. I thought it'd be nic

One dog remains from the dogs cat and chooks that usually frequent the place the others having been distributed temporarily from Koroit to Clifton Hill and he's going tomorrow to stay with Aunty Judy. He seems to have forgotten or is choosing to ignore that Ruby and the cat aren't here. The gate to the verdant bounty of the top paddock has been opened but Mav and Jai haven't realized it yet.

One of my rules is to be critical in accordance with the claims that someone makes if you are a humble 2Star then I don't think I'm entitled to criticise you on the basis of 5Star standards. But by the same token if you claim as Qatar Airways very stylishly does in its TV adverts to be The World's 5Star Airline then watch out for the 5Star criticism. Only fair.I just made a somewhat ardu
