We all decided it was safest to get to the airport the afternoon before Tony’s 1:30pm flight, just in case there was some difficulty getting the bikes to the station. We started the day on the Craigs and headed our way to the bike shop that had disassembled and boxed our bikes and the majority Read More »
ENGLISH VERSION – CYMRAEG ISOD It was warm in Fiji, but upon arriving in New Zealand we discovered that things were going to be slightly colder for our next leg of the trip! “The whole town smells of rotting eggs” “…roedden ni ar ein ffordd i lawr y mynydd cyn i ni sylweddoli ein bod ni wedi bod Read More »
One of my very favourite places in Costa Rica is Tortuguero National Park, a maze of canals and jungle on the Caribbean Sea Coast. Dubbed by some as ‘the Amazon of Costa Rica’, the only means of transport in the park is by boat along the canals or by very small plane. To get to Read More »
Spending the night in the Blues bar showed the next morning when Chris pulled out into a four line highway heading into the oncoming traffic. Sensibly, I did not follow him, only to turn around and find that Bert had followed Chris and not me. Men drivers!! Driving through Missouri today, lots of corn and Read More »

We loved Koh Phi Phi, it was 9 days of bliss on a very quiet beach, in a single ‘resort’ (beach shacks) with the nicest resort owner we have met thus far. Pon became our host, friend, doctor (when Chris stuck his foot on a sea urchin) and chef (delivering many yummy meals to our Read More »
Pokhara – where the lake meets the alps！ Pokhara 座落於 Phewa Lake 旁，背靠 Annapurna 雪山，是一個美麗的湖邊城市。我想在亞洲很難找到一個像 Pokhara 那樣，每天起來便能看到雪山倒影的城市。 Pokhara 距離加德滿都200公哩，坐飛機只需半小時。我們選擇了坐巴士，雖然需要六個多小時車程，但沿途可欣賞美麗的田園風光， 而且中途停車吃飯的地方還很休閑舒適，一點不像在趕長途汽車。 27/10 – 下午兩點多到達 Pokhara, 吃完飯後, 本想到湖邊看看, 剛下去草甸便碰到一班小朋友在踢足球, 我還沒有開口, 他們就問我想不想踢, 我二話不說脫了涼鞋, 很快和他們打成一片。沒想到他們球技與英語都很不錯，很享受這兩個小時的比賽，彷彿囘到了童年，畢竟很久沒有赤腳踢足球了。Odi 在旁為我們拍照和短片, 然後囘放給小朋友看，逗得他們非常開心。 28/10 – 我們租了一架紅色的 Yamaha Enticer 125 巡航型電單車，駛到湖邊的 Fewa Park Restaurant，一面看著平靜的湖水和翠綠的草地，一面吃著美味的早餐，確是償心樂事。 中午我們驅車前往山上的 World Peace Pagoda, 那是一個由日本人捐建的彿塔。上山的路很不好走，既斜又多石頭，幾次差點人仰馬翻。 後來遇到兩個當地大學生Tols 和 Krishna, 我們各自把電單車停好，然後一起走路上去。World Peace Pagoda 可以看見整個 Read More »
