Ankor Wat was amazing and our experience was helped by the very jolly tuk tuk driver we had who obviously thought we looked liked dizzy girls who could get lost around this vast ancient city so every time we exited a temple he would be there waving frantically with a big Cambodian smile. We wandered in and around the temples the cool damp stone once inside was a welcome relief from the burning
Tuesday July 13 2010
Today we were up at 5 and at the river boat ramp by 615. The upper part of the river looked a bit foggy but it cleared out quickly. I was captain again but today didnrsquot go as smoothly. The tide was out realy low the lowest of the year possibly. That being said I accidently scraped a few layers of paint off the boat getting it into the water. Then navigating down the river nearly ga
Day 48 Oh Santorini
June 16 2010.Santorini's appeal thankfully isn't diminished by that awful KCRichard movie and the fact that you can't have the island all to yourself. Simply put Santorini is still breathtaking despite its appearance in countless postcards and glossy editorials as well as the massive influx of tourism. The Cyclades island provides an otherworldy spectacle as cobaltblue waters come facetof
Gayutthaya
After an epic journey involving 3 hours on a mini bus 2.5 hours on a decent local bus no air con a very hurried change of bus to a dodge local bus and a further 2 hours we finally made it to Ayutthaya which we have since dubbed Gayutthaya simply because all the men we met were very obviously gay It was hilarious from the locals in the bar who were checking out the young western backpackers t

Day 49 Corfu Where the Blue Concludes
June 17 2010.The ship's final port of call was at Corfu an island off mainland Greece's northwestern coast. The tender started at 1pm an hour after which we were able to arrive at the port. Since it was siesta time the tourism office was closed and we were unable to get the services of a private vehicle. We spent the rest of the afternoon roaming in nearby streets and checking out the market s
Safe arrival in Italy
So it only took 27 hours of flying...lots of inflight entertainment...little sleep on the plane...and an overnight in London to get us safely to Italy. What a treat for us to land in Verona with BA instead of Bergamo with Ryan Air. It cut out that hour and a half drive which was a rather pleasant relief after all the travelling we had done. So I am not used to writing about my time in Italy so I h

Puenting Biking White Water Rafting Hiking
We have been absolutely nonstop since the last time that we posted on here. After we left Vilcabamba we took an extremely uncomfortable overnight bus to Baos. We were both cold on the bus and didn't get any sleep so we got to Baos feeling less than spectacular. We heard that there were places to rent mountain bikes here so we found a place and rented some decent mountain bikes for the day.
Colorado to Santa Fe
Spent the night in the Tourist Information parking lot last night. Quiet. Don't know if it was legal but there was no one to ask and no one bothered us. Toured Downtown Santa Fe for about thee hours and then headed to Albuquerque. Santa Fe is really nice. If I were rich or if I had not put a stop to buying jewelrey I would be in big trouble. The Georgia O'Keefe Museum was great. She was a
Whale watching sadly not Josie
Very early start today followed by a drive to the boat hire centre. The group was split into two groups one in a large fast boat and one in a smaller faster boat but was travelling rather slow due to the large waves. Once again the captains competed to get their boats to jump the highest over the waves not pleasant. most people had their heads over the edge of the boat or between their knees b
