I left my heart in Galway. well left for Galway with Jackie and Anne just for the night at a bed and breakfast. We got there around 8 and as we walked down the street there was a very loud group of young people in front of us and we're on a street with many BB's so we're thinking they're heading to one of them and we're praying they don't turn to our's...they turned right into our drive...ugh. O

February 9Yesterday was a travel day for the most part. The trip from Kampot to Sihanoukville in a minibus was certainly the most civilized trip to date. Not a single hair raising pass and the very annoying Cambodian turn signal the horn was only heard a few times. Best part was there were only 6 of us including the driver and his helper. We know from past experience that the preferred number of

I have had quite a busy 3 days Thursday was my first day of class at 830 AM. I went to bed at 10 pm to try to fall asleep by 1030 but I was not successful. I still managed to get up on time for school though I may have to switch to showering in the evening.Class went really well I like my professor a lot. The class is entirely in French if we do not understand a word or concept it is explain

After an epic three days of travelling mostly next to wailing babies I arrived in Curio Bay New Zealand. The flight to Australia was the highlight because every seat has its own screen with 100s of movies shows and music to choose from. I think I got in 3 movies and and a couple of seasons of tv shows. I was so lucky to choose such a interesting place I was stationed on a narrow point betwe

Today we caught the free 8.20am shuttle bus back from Dougies in Port Douglas to Cairns. We got to the hostel and were told we were booked into separate dorms I don't think so As it turned out our room would not be ready until 2pm. We decided to have a stroll to the Botanic Gardens this turned into a 10 mile walk. Back to the hostel to check in before heading into town for food and a well ea

Hi everyone hope all is well Sorry for the lack of contact recently but where I am there has been very limited internet. Just to fill you in on what has happened since I left Varkala. I took a train to Kochi quite early in the morning which was cool as I met some nice people. It was pretty packed so we were sat up above the crowds with all the luggage When we got to Kochi I decided I wouldn

We knew it was going to be a long day but didn't anticipate it being quite as bad as it was. After waiting for the bus to pick us up at 7.15 we eventually left Sihanoukville at about 8.30. The bus took us north then west between the coast and the Cardamon Mountains heading for the narrow strip of Thailand that pokes into Cambodia. All good so far. However at the top of a hill there was a bang a

I have had enough rain and humidity to last me a lifetime so I was excited to start traveling south. My first stop after leaving Cairns was Magnetic Island. I heard from many travelers that the island was really awesome and a mustdo I was warned though that it sucked in the rain. But then again anything sucks in the rain. Sorry to complain about the rain so much but I think I've had 4 days in t

After a liein we had breakfast and left the hostel as quickly as possible. Sammy's friend had suggested we go over to make use of the rooftop swimming pool to lounge around during the humid heat of the day which we did. As an English teacher in Bangkok she didn't get a huge wage but her company had found her an apartment in a building with its own restaurant nightclub and swimming pool for 15

Events from February 11th. Took a local bus out to the Llao Llao Hotel which is similiar to the big hotel in Banff Canada. It sits on a hill and dominates that area. But we were not interested in seeing the hotel but the regional park Llao Llao where we heard that there were a lot of orchids. We walked through the area for over 4 12 hours and saw many orchids along with a variety of other fl

So after settling on my medicine and such we headed to the port in Puerto Montt to board the Navimag Ferry our home for the next four days. We all met in a big area to get our rules and boarding process talk from the ship people. It was pretty straight forward and the couple hundred people sitting there then separated into our specific boarding groups and headed towards the ferry. The ship itsel

There were a bunch of them in the cage....even a small cod shark The skipper took t
