… nach 2 Naechten in Iguazu gings dann weiter Richtung Salta- also vom Osten Argentiniens in den Westen. Hab dann noch einen kleinen Zwichenstop in San Ignacio eingelegt. San I. ist ein kleines vertraeumtes Dorf, in dem es eigentlich nicht viel zu sehen gibt. Ausser ein paar Ruinen einer alten Jesuitenmission aus dem 16.Jhd. Ich Read More »
Both me and Marc had delicious lie-ins today. My eye has developed a juicy black eye and my arm feels like it’s been punched from my Tetanus jab. Lazed about for a bit until realising I actually should get my ass into gear and try and get my laptop sorted. I had arranged to meet Read More »

Yesterday was spent leisurely walking around Adelaide Zoo. The first animals you come across as you entre the zoo are the Barbary Sheep. Rather strangely, in the next enclosure are the alligators! There were two in the enclosure – the first was smaller, and didn’t seem so threatening. The larger one, although half submerged and Read More »
For 2 days and a night we stayed at the Elephant Nature Park. They have 32 elephants, some of whom are orphans, or handicapped. They are all domestic elephants who have been mistreated and abused. Most domestic elephants in Thailand are abused and mistreated, and often have to go through a brutal training ceremony called Read More »
Videos in the Playlist: 1: The gorge swing 35 secs This will be replaced by the player. // Carol started off the adventure sports without Garry because he was too sick – or so he says, maybe just a little scared? The day started off with abseiling down a 53m cliff, a flying fox over Read More »
My last days in Chiang Mai were highlighted by the visit to Doi Suthep, one of Thailand most famous Wats.

Unfortunately this will be the third entry in three days so the amount of untold material is Read More »
