Comme notre prochain arrt est prvu aux Iles du Pot l'eau de vie un mouillage il aurait fallu surveiller le changement de vent EstOuest et peuttre changer de place en pleine nuit... pour finalement passer la journe de je

A walk across the Golden Gate Bridge on a foggy summer day is always a special treat. I cannot remember the first time I walked or cycled across the bridge. But I do remember the first time I saw it and crossed it in my parents' car back in the fifties. We were on one of our typical summer car vacations. We were on our way to the East Bay and the Dixon area where my Dad had some relatives. W

We took an overnight bus from Brisbane to Sydney eating up the miles along the Gold Coast over a long 16 hour journey. The trip meant that we missed out a few famous places like Byron Bay but with the weather still poor the beaches held little allure. Plus wersquod arranged for a press loan from Volkswagen Sydney in exchange for writing a camping feature in Australia thanks to John Rawlings

Very hot here we were all getting used to the cooler weather in Cameron Highlands now back to te sticky heat We couldnt check in the Hutton Lodge until 2 so we took all our valubles and left our rucksacks there and went to get some grub we couldnt find much but then we came across a steak house and had there lunch spe

All the crazy shit I did tonight....those will be the best memories...I just wanna let it go for the night...this will be the best therapy for me... gt Memories by David Guetta ft. Kid CudiOk... so this trip was nothing but a spontaneous trip that was planned outby myself and my bestfriend Kate on my way to work.... one day we just both agreed that we need some time off work and that we needed

4 hours of sleep is plenty. just returned from the breakfast that still makes me happy. There is something about the coffee and the little spoons that they use for real not just for show that makes the coffee delicious. I skipped the prosciutto this a.m. it too is delicious but every once in a while when i eat it my brain plays a trick and thinks it has a mouthful of raw squirming animal fat

Irsquom almost positively sure that I am living next to a deaf insomniac. Nothing says ldquohave a great sleeprdquo like the television blasting Nigerian soap operas at 3am at ungodly volumes. Or a bunch of the neighbourhood dogs those dogs howling at each other like the 13 year old campers at the end of the summer to whom we used to chant ldquoYoursquoll never see your friends again

June 8thI was feeling a lot better in the morning after waking up at the Okaukuejo Campsite well enough to eat a good healthy breakfast of pineapple and pancakes. After finding out that Irsquom not too bad at flipping pancakes a few of us headed down to the waterhole to see what was happening there at the break of dawn. There were some zebras having their morning breakfast and we watched them

On Sunday morning I left Griffith A bit nervous exited and full with dreams To get to Melbourne I used the Vline bus and train connection they have just unbeatable prices 34 Dollars is nothing compared to what you have to pay with others. It is absolutely crazy how much stuff you can collect around you especially while you are not travelling. Already in Griffith I sent 2 parcels to Estonia

Opted to come back to Arusha a few days earlier than expected as a result of the bites and so spend a few slightly problematic days in the city before heading to South Africa. Unfortunately I ended up pretty much penniless as my bank card refused to work when I tried to withdraw money. After exchanging several emails with my bank at home with no result I realized I was just going to have to

South Africa. Big city. Nice hotel. Family. World Cup. Happy Victoria I arrived in Johannesburg late Sunday night to a warm full family welcome at the airport. Had the longest hottest for the first time since Irsquove been away shower and curled up in a warm comfortable bed. Some very much appreciated luxuries After a relaxed full breakfast with the family we began our exploration of J

HelloTime for a new blog entry. This time from Siberia near Baikalregion.Bordercrossing from Mongolia to Russia was again very easy and quick. Headed to Ulan Ude then and later to Lake Baikal which is really big. Watching over the horizon of the lake is more like standing and the Baltic Sea such a big lake.Russia is another surprise on this trip. People who think that the development of Russia

We drove through the Homer Tunnel to get to Milford Sound where we went on a scenic cruise around the Fiordland...the highlight of the trip was a FREE sandwich at the end Saw some amazing views on the drive

Time nigh to make another entry in the bloghelliphellipit has sadly lagged a bit lately and not without good reason. The stress of constant issues with my skin health and the emerging crushing season has changed my world but in a good way I decided it is time to leave and on good terms with my employer.Despite this I have retained my interest in maintaining my sanity here in the rural pro

Mount Cook was beautiful we went for a little walk where we went to the Blue Lake which was not blue and to Tasman Valley Glacier View.

This week has been wonderful but crazily busy. The World Cup of course is in full swing and so that is exciting. Every time an African team plays you can hear the sound of the vuvuzelas from TVs and radios. Sometimes people are spilling out of tiny shops that have tvs and I can't imagine that all of them can see well enough to tell what is going on. I went to see the first match which was be

We might be taking more long distance buses from now on maybe we were lucky Much more comfortable and cleaner than the train quicker too by 2 hours from Dandong down to Dalian. The motorway was a toll one which was deserted and smooth. Once in the bus station we took a taxi 15 mins down to the coast and our hotel for the first 2 nights. We stayed in the CTI Hotel a tired chinese tourist tower
