For all you fact fans there must be at least one of you out there... the Yukon has an area of 186000 sq miles and a population of just 33000 people 75 of whom live in the cit
Alaska Bound Day 4
Day 4The plan was to cross the border into Canada then catch the ferry on foot to Victoria. Unfortunately we had stopped early to finally catch up on much needed sleep so ran very late. Kids were disappointed but we told them we'd find something fun to do.Crossing the border was so easy this time. We had affidavits for each kid and Twinkies papers all in order. There was no line at all so we drov

Over Xmas I found a book written by a NZ couple from Northland that documented some of their experiences in Europe and a few other continents. But this book while useful cl
Going Gaucho in Salta
Hello peopleJust a quick blog for Northern Argentina. After the incredible Bolivia tour see previous blog we had a nightmare 2 day trip on trains foot and buses across the border to the city of Salta. Salta is a really beautiful city and it was nice to be back in Argentina which really has a feeling of continental Europe about it. We celebrated being back in civilisation again by heading ou
thunderstorm and Uno
Weer een hete dag in Loganville Georgia. Ik heb geprobeerd in de groententuin te werken maar na 10 minuten hard werken droop het zweet over mijn rug armen en gezicht.

Kennedy Space Centre
From Orlando it takes a little over an hour to drive to Kennedy Space Centre. An organised trip was going to cost us 95 each including the coach fare but doing it by ourselves proved much better. We paid just 40 each for our our tickets and that gave us 2 days of exploration plus entry to the Astronaut Hall of Fame. We didn't do everything in 2 days so quite what we would have managed to see on
