| 12th March 2008 fotopraktica | Sorry to hear you were disappointed ? - From: Do they Have Hot Running Water Here? I read your travel blog on Bucharest and i can can gather you didn't really your enjoy time there so much ,ok it's not as beautiful as neighboring Budapest ,but there are some architectural gems that were spared the wrecking ball of Ceausescu if you go to the old Jewish quarter very close to Piata Unirii and you can find some very old buildings there from the 19th century ,there are many other French influenced buildings that are currently being renovated with EU money like the national library and national bank .I found the village museum to be one of the most interesting outdoor museums i have ever seen ,where there are different styles of houses from all over Romania restored in good condition ,a few days is not a fair chance for Bucharest i hope your next visit will be better . cheers |
| 28th September 2007 vilija | - From: It's a sign Hey Ailie! So you were in my "old country" hey? How was Lithuania? It seems you only have a pictorial blog :-( Well the ferry translation should read that "vehicle transportation is only from the new ferry terminal " but hey!? Looking forward to seeing you back in OZ. Keep enjoying! Vilija xo |

| 24th August 2007 Sally | Consititution - From: It's a sign Death and taxes some to everyone eventually... except in Vilnius ("everyone has the right to die. It is not obligatory".) Although I'm not sure about the taxes. |
| 19th August 2007 Brita | PS... - From: It's a sign I love the constitution... The right of a dog to be a dog, and to love and take care of the cat, and to live by the river, sounds like playschool. Nice of them to give the river rights. |
| 19th August 2007 Brita | *sings* I saw the sign - From: It's a sign Hi!!! miss you!!! Karolina showed me some photos of you two in Poland, lots of castles! relating to a previous post of yours: yes, rivendell! The Hill of wooden crosses looks so cool.

| 17th July 2007 Rachel | Hiiiii.... - From: Two things I forgot. Looks like you having an awesome time. Sorry I havent commented in so long. Love looking through your pics and reading your adventures. I love the one with the push pin, too funny. Hope your well and loving your time away. We all miss you. xox |
| 10th July 2007 Sally Quill | Cards - From: Romantic Romania Tell them about that train conductor who played cards with us! |
| 5th July 2007 Ailsabree | Re: do they have hot running water. - From: Do they Have Hot Running Water Here? Yes, they have very good cold tap beer. And very cheap cold tap beer. And cheap beer in two litre PET bottles. I wasn't soft! You didn't see the nearly two litres of beer and five vodka shots I'd had before (did I mention Shots come in two sizes? 50 and 100ml?). Rule one in Eastern Europe: Don't go into Strip Clubs. You will be ripped off (feel like paying 80 Euro a drink?). So yes, it was a Discotheque. |
| 4th July 2007 Ben.... | So they have hot running water but... - From: Do they Have Hot Running Water Here? Do they have Cold Tap Beer? And you are soft for drink water in a night club. Do they call them nightclubs or is that still the terminology for Strip Clubs. So really you were at a discothèque? Okay talk to you later. Ps. So the Column are they marble? |
| 18th June 2007 Brita | to the traveller from the student on the couch - From: Now I am A Real Traveller hello!! got another postcard today, woohoo! you probably know this already, but Wikipedia told me: "Slavic name Beligrad (a form of Beograd, literally meaning White City)". 'white city' might explain the westernised macdonaldisation haha thanks for your tales, keep them coming o traveller |
| 13th June 2007 mum | - From: So beautiful it hurts Finally found your address so I can look through all your photos. Beautiful, I am so jealous. I will spend some time going back through them when I have more time any way off to double year 11 now! |
| 5th June 2007 Brita the jealous | I wanna see !!! - From: So beautiful it hurts I was too curious so I googled it, i think i found the bridge "Novi Stari Most" that you refer to - beautiful!!! and wow Ailie everything sounds so exciting even the sunbathing. okay especially the CHOCOALTE!!! hehehe |
| 30th May 2007 Rachel Whelan | Wow so lucky - From: Metelkova and Dylan It looks like your having so much fun over there. We all miss you of course. I cant wait to hear all the stories youll have to tell. Keep up the blogs so we can keep track of all your adventures. You missed a yummy steak last night, hehe. xox.... |
| 30th May 2007 Brita | finally caught up! - From: Metelkova and Dylan Ailie I will be checking daily, impatiently awaiting your stories!!! Meanwhile Pete and I continue work and study. I have exams on 21st, 22nd and 25th June then I'm free, but before then is Pete's birthday on 18th June - on 13th June I'm taking him for an Australian Native Outback Degustation dinner (6 courses) at a Coogee Beach Restaurant. Looking forward to it but that is as exotic as it gets for us!! Found your flikr photos woohoo! bring em on! |
| 30th May 2007 Brita | photos! - From: Pazzo I am already so jealous, and i am nowhere near caught up to your current blog!!!!!!!!!! i love the photos, few that they are! |
| 30th May 2007 Brita | got a mention! - From: The Last Four Weeks I got a mention! even though i only finally got the web address for your blog today! hehe enjoying this far more than the study i'm supposed to be doing. |
| 30th May 2007 Brita | birds - From: The Last of Alice well i see you already know about lincoln parrots oh well. and HEY! I LIKE BIRDS!! birds =/ boring landscape, they are integrated within the landscape. consider gannets and such diving for fish off the nz coast - pretty awesome. i bet seeing a flock of thousands of budgerigars would be awesome, and thats birds. but i guess you agree enough to show your eagle. |
| 30th May 2007 Brita | Green Parrots - From: The Telegraph Station Hi miss Ailie! those parrots are Ringnecks (many varieties round the world, this is aussie though!), also known as port lincoln parrots. One day I saw one from the window of an english class at gossie high and was flabbergasted cos they don't come near coastal NSW. My teacher (i forget his name but he was one of the cool ones) thought i was making it up so sent me down to the library to get a bird book, only to prove i was correct!! |
| 21st May 2007 Ailsabree | Yes, you wish you were here. - From: Metelkova and Dylan I am eating Pizza. And salads. And other healthy stuff (honestly!). The hostels usually provide breakfast, including meat, cheese and bread. So they unofficially provide lunch, as well. Public transport is awesome. Will write about it in my next blog. |
| 21st May 2007 Cathy Connell | - From: Metelkova and Dylan Nice photos! Wish we were there. Not at the bar though. You've commented on the scenery but how's the food! How's the public transport? We were glad to hear from you. Have you made any arrangements about your phone? |
| 2nd May 2007 Mum | Wow BTDT - From: Pazzo You have been busy. I am using Jennifer's laptop- mine is in sickbay. and Jennifer is very impressed by how much you have seen already. No touts, no Romani - I take it back. No wait they've probably all gone to the Balkan states- just kidding! |
| 28th April 2007 James | Holy Crap-a-moly!!! - From: The Timetable I think the title pretty much sums it up!! I hope you've got your travelling feet on :D See you soon! |
| 15th March 2007 James | Range Rover's - From: Well, you gotta do it sometime... But Ailie, Land/Range Rovers NEVER break down!! It must have been a part stolen from a Toyota ;) If you get a chance, you should have a look at www.flickr.com for your photos. We put all ours there www.flickr.com/photos/jmanners and it just works. Uploading, organising, its specifically designed for photos. |
| 7th March 2007 Steve | arrrg - From: It almost rained on the weekend... All that effort to go and login and that's it... Remember, photos of the rock if it rains heavy!! |
| 5th March 2007 James | Heat Exhaustion - From: The Telegraph Station Alice Springs + Summer + 8km round trip = Heat Exhaustion Sounds like your have a ball!! |
| 5th March 2007 Vilija | - From: The Telegraph Station Love reading your stories, keep them coming! :-) |
| 3rd March 2007 Ailsabree | F+D - From: Flies, damn flies and statistics. Fixed and Dilated. I don't think that's going to help much. Maybe a better layman's way of expressing it (and appropriate to the area): "pretty bloody close to dead." |
| 1st March 2007 James | Errr???? - From: Flies, damn flies and statistics. Hey Ailie, Errrr, you might want to add a abreviations list... I had to skip bits when it got too medical, I think my pupils became F+D ;) Just kidding :) Sounds like your having a ball. We were listening to the radio over the internet last night and they said 40° for the alice today. Thats a little warm!! Definetly warm to go riding/walking too much! |
