Agents of Boon

Ever since the innocent arrival of Boonie at 25 Carlton Street in late 2005, I've felt an unexplainable urge to play ping pong, eat Monte Carlos and drink 52 cans on a plane.

I was also troubled with a strange desire to travel... to see the world through my own eyes, and to experience the things I had previously only read or dreamed about. Boonanza officially gripped it's plastic claws around my neck at Changi airport, when I realised with a faint glimmer of shock that I wasn't travelling alone.

Shit, was that Boonie making small talk with the Texan in the big hat?

A strange twist of fate had flung Boonie and I together for the road trip of a lifetime. We agreed on some ground rules; I wasn't to lock him in luggage lockers for more than 12 hours and he wasn't to shout out for his tea-break in public, and with a nervous truce called we set off into the sunset (...airport waiting lounge).

So join us - we promise to leave no stone unturned. Or is that no turn unstoned? I can never remember...

Oh Madrid. Scene of the infamous Grahame. The Donde effect. Filling your noughart with pappadums. Canyas and tapas. B-slash-Ry. Tiky Taka. Loosing photos AND your dignity, all in the same day. Sound cryptic? You're not alone. Unless your name is Kellie Urqhuart you probably won't understand much of what's written above, but that's ok. Just look at the pretty pictures instead... And to do that, you'll have to visit an external site - cut and paste the URL below: http://au.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/kath_crawford/album?.dir=/472dre2&.src=ph&.tok=phkc3WGBKwsp0GQP Sorry, there's nothing groundbreaking here, but a sample of awesome Spanish hospitality at it's warmest and most inviting. ... read more

I wish I could tell you something about Barcelona. But I spent only two days there, and one of them was sleeping. I blame my "landlord" who I'd lucked upon the previous night as I searched for accommodation in a local internet cafe (sensing a theme here? Pre-booking accommodation has not been my strong point!). He was offering rooms for rent, I was looking... and well, Juan's your uncle. A night at Sugar later and I was in tatters. Memories of Sugar in Adelaide came flooding back, and made my head hurt even more. Damn those Spaniards and their double shots. DAMN YOU BARCELONA! DAMN YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU! ... read more

As a virgin to Spanish soil, I had anticipated this moment for many a long hour. What would Spain look like, taste like, smell like? People from all over had crowded my vision with their own anecdotes and feelings, and the pre fabricated images of a lazy siesta-ing country were at the forefront of my remarkabley un-vivid imagination. I was feeling a bit lost about the whole thing. And then I arrived in Girona. The absolute image of what I imagined a Spanish town to be, without me even quite knowing what I was expecting. Archetypal ancient ruins, classic cornices and windows, gothic architecture and little hidden gardens containing fruit trees all over. Sweeping cobblestone streets, coffee and cigarettes, flags billowing gently in the breeze and the sound of laughter and the accordion on the wind. ... read more
