It wasn’t a direct train so lots of people came on and off the train during our ride to Venice. There are also two stops in Venice but we only booked it to the first stop. Luckily the train attendant didn’t feel like kicking us out when he was checking tickets.
Though even the name Venice Read More »
White Water Rafting auf dem Seti
2 Tage haben wir uns gegoennt. Wir sind ordentiich nass geworden, aber es hat wahnsinnig viel Spass gemacht.
Chitwan Nationalpark

Marc, Rose and Catherine (Rose’s Mum) kayaked down the Whanganui River at Waitangi Weekend. We started from Whakahoro after a long drive in we stayed the night in the old school house there.
We took Marc’s single sea kayak and hired another one from the rental place at Whakahoro, a big mistake. While they were very Read More »
The journey to Da Lat wasn’t great. The bus broke down after the rear had filled up with smoke, we couldn’t go faster than 40 km/hour, and we knew we’d paid far too much for the tickets. But the scenery was good, and we were excited about taking a tour with the Easy Riders.
We’d been Read More »
Stepping off the bus at ‘Byron Bay’ was like stepping into a ‘blue marijuana hazed flashback to the seventies’. If we could use music to describe it, it would be “Smoke on the Water, Fire in the Sky.” It is the one place where people come, and forget to leave. The place where you can Read More »
Another early wake up call in Zirovnica, except this time it wasn’t Papa Damien…it was Rachel Verbeek, my travelling partner from Denver who I met in Bulgaria the previous year and travelled to South America with last December.
She had quite the long flight / train from Denver to this small town in northwestern Slovenia, so Read More »
With our scooter loaded up again, we rode into the wide green yonder heading for the crater area of Ganung Batur. We knew it wasn’t going to be a long ride so scheduled in a stop at Tirta Empul (Holy Spring Temple), our second temple. It is one of the six most important temples in Read More »
Vietnam ended better than it started, although I got taken out by a killer cold that sent me to bed parts of the last few days there and in Vientiane, Laos. We spend one night abord a boat in Halong Bay in N. Vietnam as a trip from Hanoi — really beautiful. We slept on Read More »
5-11-07 Red Center, Australia
Ah, the Outback mate. Red desert, red rocks, red roos, red (sunburned) locals, red everything. It’s the center of a naturally odd country and certainly doesn’t disappoint on the curious scale. I checked into an Alice Springs hostel on Monday night and had a tour booked an hour later. Turns out I Read More »
