We caught an early train here yesterday. We went through Slovakia without even noticing that our rail pass doesn't cover that country so it cost us about 35 Euros...whoops luckily we didn't get fined 100 Euros each.Not as busy as Prague and just as coolWe searched out one of the big attractions here which is the thermal baths When we arrived it was really confusing because we weren't sure was

We just about killed ourselves hiking up to Diamond Head one day. We dawdled over breakfast at the BB where we were staying taking pictures of a family of birds whose babies were just starting to leave the nest. Our BB host Bob was so excited and we took a bunch of pictures of the birds which Steve later printed to give to Bob. The only downside of that decision was that we didnrsquot g

After a very annoying breakfast in Budapest trying to fight through a shit ton of obnoxious teenagers that were staying at our hotel for food...we flew to Turkey and to our surprise received a meal on like a 2 hour flight...oh joyWe had trouble finding a hotel at first then we finally found a hostel that Lonely Planet recommended but it ended up being shit hole run shady characters. Getting to

We travelled along highway 97 toward Golden British Columbia.We followed along the shores of Lake Okanagan Lake Kalamalka the lake of many colours and Shuswap Lake aull bloom and enjoyed the apple orchards in full bloom. The mountains were towering on all sides of us every mile of t

Myself Connie her friend J an English couple called Tom and Jess and a few others got into the club around 2am and wandered around. Connie gave me a bit of a pick me up shortly after we arrived and then we walked around trying to find someone at the club who could help us out. Connie could clearly look after herself as at one point she had 15 Argentinian guys stood around her as she asked abo

wat valt er te vertellen als je een week op een eiland bent geweest niet zo heel veel eigenlijk behalve dat we lees Anka nog bruiner zijn geworden.Dit was de tweede keer dat we een bezoek gebracht hadden aan Pulau Tioman en er niets veranderd sinds de eerste keer 2008 dat wij het eiland bezochten. volgens een Duitser naast ons is er niets veranderd sinds de laatste keer dat hij hier was in 1

Yesterday we finally got some laundry done...it may have been the first time in a couple weeksWe also took a cruise along the Bosphorus strait...it stopped on the asia side of Turkey. I think just so you can say that you were in Asia We fought through hordes of people to get back and I had an dope ass fish sandwich straight out of the water. The locals were lining up for it so I figured it mu

I'm here finally after a nine day wait in England and then a fourty hour journey to get here I have made it. I flew into Bangkok and then organised a flight to Phnom Penh where I checked into a guesthouse called The Boddhi Tree. I had been to the caferestaurant part of it on my last trip to Cambodia and liked it so much that I thought I'd and stay there this time around. On the first night that

Today consisted of a whole lot of walking In the morning we walked to try and catch the 'changing of the guard' ceremony however we ended up arriving as soon as it was over so hopefully we will be able to catch it tomorrow morning After that we walked to Covent Gardens which is the young and 'hip' part of London with tons of great stores and an outdoor marketplace street performers and cafe

Now the real road trip begins we decide to just keep driving for as long as possible we start out at around 11am and I make up some sandwiches which we eat literally as we are driving. We stop off at a driver reviver station by the side of the road which we have seen since Brisbane advertising free coffee but we have never stopped yet. They really do give you free tea and coffee Michael no tri

I woke up around midday stinking from the previous 48 hours and grabbed a much needed shower. After buying some things from the shop and getting some more more money out of the bank I decided I needed to get out of Buenos Aires and make my way to Salta the next day. After booking my bus through the hostel I chilled for most of the afternoon and chatted to a few people. At one point I saw a girl

I wish I had the ability to read to Chinese. That has to be my next goal in life. If I could read Chinese I could tell you a lot more about the Chinese National School of Administration. But now I am going to have to refer to hearsay. Our Prof. says that CNSA is THE school for top government officials in China. This is where Governors of provinces and top federal government guys get their educatio

My next tour was riding on friendly horses with my friends on the beach near Manuel Antonio. We traveled a bit away from the Mirador del Pacifico the hotel we were staying at that night to a place in Parrita about 30 min. away. I would have never known about this town if it weren't for this tour. We stopped to get a bottle of wine for our inclusive dinner after the tour and then headed to this

We arrived in the UK on a historic day election day. Gordon Brown's Labor Party was defeated by David Cameron's Conservative Government but Cameron didn't get enough votes to rule. This means a coalition government with the Liberal Democrats. This is high drama. Not only thatthe polling voting was so heavy that people were turned away from the polls at 10 PM to quite the outrage.Meanwhi

See corresponding pictures at Well damn that went fast. I started writing this fourth NZ entry a month ago. I was taking the ferry to the North Island and I figured that I would knock out an entry that covered the rest of my South Island adventures. The next time I sat down to write I was on the ferry again going back to the South Island. My third crack was my final day in the country but I
