They had two dogs one was called Gus and the other was called Charlie. They had three cats Rascal Spot and Tiger. I played with Avrey and Kit played with Will Foster.The next day we played on the trampoline and swing set I als

Ok so after my trip to Sydney I spent most of my time applying for jobs having an interview or two riding horses seeing church friends as well as a few mealstrips out with Pili and Simon. Additionally I started some volunteer work through church Friday mornings I help out a playgroup with 2 disabled twins and Thursday evenings I also go into the city and give out free pancakes. Its a nice com

We left Leon finally on april 28th only to turn around and head back to the mechanics. We we sputtering a bit and didnrsquot want to end up broken down in Honduras. All they could figure out was that we probably needed new spark plugs and that there wernrsquot any in Nico so we had better get ourselves to Mexico. That is just what we did. The next morning we once again left leon thankfu

Som titlen jo lyder. Ja var i gr for frste gang p McDonalds siden jeg rejse hertil. Dog var jeg der ikke for at spise burger pomfritter eller andet af deres knap s godt smagende mad. N.... De har nu i godt en mned reklameret med at de er begyndt at slge Mocha Frappechino's. Prcia ligesom Starbucks. Jeg tnkte hmm.... Mon det er vrd at smage. Anyway... Jeg tog muligheden og vandrede fra

We entered Texas at the RenosaPharr boarder crossing and compared to the central american crossings it was quick pleasent and painless. We were also glad to finally be able to understand everything they were saying. About 100kms down the road we came to a checkpoint designed to stop people smuggling. A dog sniffed the rv to check if we were harbouring any Mexican Aliens...a little strange... of

The main reason we chose to stay in Laura is because I have read that there is some great Rock Art around here and we book a tour for the morning with a guide whos father actually was one of the people who found and documented these sites around here in the 1960's.Laura itself is tiny with only one road where there is a police station a shop come petrol station come post office and a hotel with

We decided to have an extra day before Sapa tour just so that our shoes could hopefully get dry so today we didn't really have much to do but yay our shoes are dry Had ear plugs in at 6am this morning due to the loud music and shouting followed by building site noise. Went on net after brekkie for about 3hrs Booked our flight to Sumatra for 20th May

I walked down to Bay Hudson and looked around then went to the top for lunch. I sat opposite the Old City Hall so managed to take great photos. I spoke to my parents and my brother for the first time. I wondered about and into Dundas Square where a dance show was taking place. The first part I saw was called Nia a type of relaxing dance for loosening your muscles mainly for older people.

I hardly slept but just spend the day listening to my ipod and reading magazines. I ate so much as I had taken cookie sandwiches crisps and fruit which I only ate an apple of. We stopped for an hour in the middle of know where the only shops really were the valumart and a hardware store. It was nice to get fresh air and walk about though. I went for a proper meal which was great. I had s

We got up late and went to Polo Park to look around it was a nice mall and was great to shop at different places with different brands. I was still pretty tired so I didnrsquot feel much like shopping but we still wondered around so I could see the area. It was nice to see new shops and look around. We drove to the Forks and had mini donuts which were amazing. We went to the top of the buil

I woke up this morning with no hangover I was completely surprised I thought for sure I would be out. After breakfast Yella Lee and myself headed downtown to Big Al's. Big Al's is a ski shop and they were having a sale on ski equipment. Big Al was there with his suit and clip on tie which he clearly did not even attempt to put on correctly. It was almost sideways and you could see it was

I headed out for Lake Tekapo some time in the morning. I was sad to leave since the hospitality at the Big Tree lodge was so amazing. Lee said Sad to see you go mate in his thick NZ accent. I forgot to take a picture of the lodge I also forgot my 12 bottles of beer I had bought. Lee called me about 10 minutes out to tell me I left the beer I told him it was all his. The ride towards Lake

Nach 2 Wochen erfolgloser Jobsuche entschlossen wir uns Broome zu verlassen und unser Glck in Kununurra zu suchen. Da das ber 1.000 km Fahrt bedeutet entschlossen wir uns den Trip in 2 Hlften zu teilen. Also erstmal nur 400 km nach Fitzroy Crossing. Nach einigen Stunden Fahrt durch die sehr monotone Landschaft immer nur die gleichen Bume kamen wir gegen 5 Uhr in Fitzroy Crossing an. Da es

Just some things I forgot to mention earlier. I met a woman at the CHCH airport when I arrived she was from California. Her son lived in Royal Oak right near main street. I can now fully accept the fact that it is a small world. Also I forgot to talk about the roads to Akaroa when I went. They were very narrow and constantly winding. The speed limit was 62mph. The scary part was that peo

After our adrenaline pump at Lake Taupo we headed to the Tongariro National Park next morning to attempt the best oneday walking track of New Zealand. This walk brings you through the landscape you might have seen in the Lord of the Rings movies some scenes actually were shot here.
