| 8th March 2005 anonymous | Nessebar - From: Nessebar or Nesebar - seen both. I have been in Nessebar last summer, and i've spent some nice time there. It's real cheap, even for Serbs who has monthly income of about 200 euro. Big glass of tequila is about 50ct :) Lunch in restaurant is real cheap too. There are great number of foregin tourists, meny Swedish chick :) You must be watchful when you change money in exchange offices, because Bulgarians are big thiefs. Official rate was 1.9 lev=1 euro. If you want to go there, go before the August15th, because of the weather. Have a nice time in Bulgaria, and maybe visit Montenegro first! - Jovo from Serbia |

| 27th January 2005 anonymous | Hello Ali! - From: Varna, 7000 years of history. Hi Ali, just came across this site 10 minutes ago. It is amazing. Nick and I are spending July in Bulgaria so I looked that up first and then found you in the Bloggers. I am in awe of what you are achieving and am sat here really enjoying reading your logs. Thank you for sharing your travels. I am going to sit now and continue reading all 140! Thanks for the inspiration Best wishes, Abi - Abi |
| 26th January 2005 Ali | To Commentator - World Traveller - From: Varna, 7000 years of history. I could easily delete your comment, but I'll respond: 1. Saw them very impressive, worth visiting Varna for, journal to follow. 2 & 3. Didn't see them. 4. What? 5. When I'm on the road fashion shopping is not a top priority. 6. When - not when I was there. 7. Better beaches to the south. Finally - what have you got against people from the UK? Your comment is one of the most ridiculous and predjudiced I've ever read. Care to share your journal? |
| 26th January 2005 anonymous | Thank you Mr Watters - From: Varna, 7000 years of history. Or Ali? You seem to be having difficulties deciding what is good in life and what not...Instead of just acting accordingly. Of course being from the UK it is understandable... Some of the things which you obviously missed out in Varna: 1.Ethnological Museum: Some of the World's earliest gold ornaments. 2.Varna Summer: An International Classical Music Festival 3.Jazz Music Festival 4.Healthier looking people than the product of fish and chips/mad cow diet. 5.Shopping for fashion / healthy food... 6.Beer festival 7.And of course the beach - not just there for collecting Cockles & Mussels but actually to swim in water nearing upper 30 C while the wonderfully catered for beaches allow you to relax ... but oh no there is a problem here - most ladies are topless, so if you aren't comfortable with the dogs doing their thing, this will really be a problem for you... Here is a hint from a master world traveller: If you want to obtain the full benefit from your visit to a place, forget where you come from. If you don't succeed at first , try harder - it's OK, we understand... The British conquered the world and changed the way tea is drunk to suit their taste... I suppose it is in your genes. May I suggest reading "The Tao oh Pooh"...? PS.:It's OK for dogs to be copulating out in the open on a bright summer day. Isn't this what British Rock Knighthood bearing Sirs teach us? Keep safe on the road. - World Traveller |

| 27th December 2004 Bill and Nancy | Beautiful pictures - From: North-Eastern Surprise I really enoyed your pictures. WOW, what a beautiful place. I had no idea Estonia holds such beauty for the traveler. |
| 16th October 2004 anonymous | Zion National Park - Angels Landing - From: Angels Landing Angels Landing must be one of the best all time hikes that the average hiker can go on. The trail is fun, the view at the top is spectacular and it is easy to get to. What more can we ask for? ~tanya http://www.zionnational-park.com |
| 14th October 2004 anonymous | Yummy - From: Robinson Crusoe Island Ali..that sky looks yummy - yummy enough to sink my teeth into.Great Pic!! Awesome - enjoy the holiday while less fortunate souls slog at work......Joydeep |
| 29th September 2004 LonelyIndian | Great Pics - From: Jewel in the Czech Crown The Photography you took can rival those taken by travel agencies, keep up the good work. |
| 4th September 2004 anonymous | - From: Unexpected Belgrade It sounds like a great few hours in Belgrade. Your pictures are terrific! On a side note the "Belgrade Cathedral" is actually St.Sava Temple and it's not being rebuilt or renovated, it's actually still being built. A slow and arduous process that started again in 1985. Great work. I'm off to read more of your travels. |
| 29th August 2004 anonymous | Gannets at Cape Kidnappers - From: Art Deco City There are two Gannet colonies at Cape Kidnappers, the main colony on the Cape itself and a secondary colony at Black Reef (both are shown in the photos on the blog). The main colony has over 5,000 nesting pairs and is the only mainland nesting colony of the Australasian Gannet in the world. The juvenials leave the nest and travel the Pacific and Indian oceans for a couple of years and then return to the Cape around November to find a mate which they mate with for life. Each year thereafter they return to the same spot to raise young. The Gannet colonies of Cape Kidnappers are truly an amasing place well worth the visit! |

| 25th June 2004 Ali | Thanks anonymous mum ;) - From: Robinson Crusoe Island Strangly enough my younger brother ended up there as well as part of his RTW (Round the World Trip) - he didn't know I'd been there before him. "anonymous mum" - if you ever pop back take a look at the forum on this site. There is an opportunity to help out all sorts of people with advice, I hope there will even be some questions on UK travel sometime. |
| 12th June 2004 Ali | Which one? - From: Summer's here Kids! Which one gave you the chills Savage? The Stag Beetle or the Hornet or the Mosquito - I'm still itching like crazy from letting the mosquito bite for long enough to take a photo. The Stag Beetle was quite friendly and didn't mind crawling on my hands and arm :) |
| 11th June 2004 Savage | OMG!! - From: Summer's here Kids! Dude, if you take a picture of an insect like that again, I'm personally coming over to Hungry to beat you! That's disgusting, and gave me the chills! BUGS! Ugh... I can't abide the things!! |
| 5th June 2004 Gypsie Fairy | Prague - From: Jewel in the Czech Crown Great pictures - I was blessed to spend a week there and I fell in love. I would love more than anything to go back. I think everyone should have the opportunity to see it! Absolutely Beautiful! |
| 2nd June 2004 Ali | The Foal. - From: Back in the parental home. The foal didn't have a very long life. There was an unexpected frost overnight and it didn't make it to the following morning. Sad. |

| 21st April 2004 anonymous | Thanks for the information! - From: Robinson Crusoe Island Our son has just emailed us to say he was on his way to Robinson Crusoe Resort, breaking his trip back home to New Zealand from California. His father and I now are in London,(well, his Dad is working in Amsterdam right now!) and his elder brother is in Australia.
