I thought that Holland was a pretty place but Belgium was just gorgeousSome says because Belgium was not that important city during world wars so somehow the ancient arquitecture is still well conserved.Building shapes old cathedrals and lovely chapels antique shops little bridges beeeeeeer smells old streets people around chocolates very touristic of course but is so charming...I dont
Vietnam….meh….
Decided to go on a tour today down the Song Huong Perfume River. Guy knocked on our door at five to 8 and again we had to follow him on his motorbike down to the boat. It was quite a big boat with decorative dragons heads on the front. We were first on but we were soon joined by a little crowd and we all had little plastic chairs to sit on luckily the river is very calm. The cruise was qui

To get there we drove along some fantastic country roads and alongside Lake Ontario.From the first minute that I first saw the falls they made me feel energised it was very cool having all the spray wash over me.

The Flight to Xi’an
Seeing as we didn't have to leave until 11 for lunch before the flight today started on a nice note sleeping in Now obviously we're all having a really great time but last night was our final night in Chengdu so most everyone had a big night on the town and needed the extra few hours to get ready for the plane to Xi'an. For the record seeing twentysix tired half asleep people try to fit t
Barcelona 2010 Wednesday
Wednesday was our least active day. We went to the Picasso museum in the morning and i'm glad we did. We almost skipped it because we had heard it was not as nice as the one in Paris which we have already been to.

Lost in Translation
Lost in TranslationhelliphellipIs a BitchOn a recent journey to Cuba I found myself in the downtrodden plaza of an inland village surrounded by adolescents politely requesting Chiclets.
