Nach der Rafting Tour sind wir direkt auf eine Insel im Chitwan Nationalpark gefahren, wo wir 3 Tage durch den Dschungel geritten oder gewandert Read More »
DAY 48 – 20 JANUARY 2008 Well yet another Groundhog Day. We headed out from the hotel for desayno and almost unbelievably found a place that actually served cafe con leche that wasn’t Nescafe. That must be a first here in South America. The falls are spectacular and you need to see them from Argentina Read More »
For my last adventure in San Francisco, I headed off to Yosemite National Park for a day trip. After a very early start we hit the freeway and were in the park by mid-morning. We headed straight to what Yosemite is famous for, El Capitano and Half Dome. These are 2 huge granite rocks that Read More »
Ho there blogites! It’s been hard to find time to write as my internet time is scattered and we’ve been working 12 hour days. Well…sometimes those last couple hours are spent at the pub, but the day is stressful sometimes and hey…we deserve those 2 hours of pub work. So last time I wrote I Read More »
Booked our longtail boat again for a mornings visit to Phi Phi Ley which was the location for the film ‘The Beach’. We had heard lots of negative press about the Hollywood bods coming to the island and basically trashing it. We have however heard that they actually cleaned the island up and removed 4 Read More »
We had to take the long and tortuous route from Yosemite to Death Valley as many of the roads at higher altitudes were still closed due to the winter snow. It was amazing how you could leave the snow capped mountains and arrive in the searing desert heat just a few hours later. We arrived Read More »

We headed towards Solou which is South of Barcelona, having booked our hotel San Costa Daurada which must mean something in Spanish. For us it means a humungous hotel with air-conditioning with lunch and breakfast included. Having flung our bags into the room, we had a quick lunch with chips Billy didn’t like, Kimmy getting Read More »
Today I left Butte (which is pronounced Bewt, not Butt – which I prefer!) and headed south east to Yellowstone NP. The scenery was slightly more interesting than yesterday thank goodness and I followed some mountains south for a while which were really pretty. I eventually arrived at Yellowstone, which was the first national park, 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 Read More »
