It feels kinda weird to be writing a blog entry up here but anyways hopefully I can make you feel like you are up in the air with me. At the moment we are passing over Lago Nicaragua which is surrounded by a myriad of Volcanorsquos and then on the other side of the Volcanorsquos is lots and l http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Guatemala/Lago-de-Atitlan/blog-159114.html It is Sunday morning here in sunny well rainy today Turrialba today I got up like most days at about 6.30am had a delicious breakfast laughed through our daily meeting which I turned up like all days in shorts and a singlet and right now after about eight weeks in Costa Rica I am enjoying my first morning off sitting in our lovely staff room overlooking Volcan Turrialba writing to you allSo http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Costa-Rica/Cartago/Volcan-Turrialba/Turrialba/CATIE/blog-137133.html First of all greetings or Ola de Costa RicaGosh the theme of this blog entry as you will work out is ldquodiversityrdquo. I could not have been to more diverse places in January if I triedSo this entry starts in my absolutely favourite city in the whole world NYC. I have to say this place gets better and better every time I visit it. I think I have now clocked three visits in the last seven http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Costa-Rica/Cartago/Volcan-Turrialba/Turrialba/CATIE/blog-136064.html Hi Everyone Happy new yearhellipThis diary entry is well overdue. The fact that people are writing to me saying ldquoBella when are you going to update your blogrdquo means to me that it is really time to write and that some people are actually reading this blog and getting some enjoyment out of it.Well December was an interesting month as I reflect and read through my diary a lot happened http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Austria/Tyrol/Sankt-Anton-am-Arlberg/blog-118287.html Ok so back to EnglishIt is now Sunday night and I am writing this entry sitting in my room listening to the Italian radio and just chilling out. As I reflect on the last three weeks as I do when I try to write this blog a lot has happened in this time. True to my style of not wanting to sit in the one place to long thanks mum for reminding me of this. I have been in some serious giro going http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Liguria/Genoa/blog-106381.html So the first thing I did before I decided to write today was to try and figure out when was the last time that I wrote and I just figured that it has been five weeks my longest stint without committing anything to writing on my trip to datePerhaps there are reasons for this the first is that I spent my first two weeks in Genova discovering the city reading all the tourist information guides http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Liguria/Genoa/blog-101332.html Ciao Ragazzi Come Va Io sono molto benehellip..So it has been a couple of weeks since my last entry. For some reason I always choose Fridays yet again today to scrivo write my blog entries. After countless emails from people arriving to work on Monday morning receiving my email alerts I am so sorry that you have to hear about my adventures on a Monday morning but for some reason it is http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Liguria/Genoa/blog-93433.html Ciao Come Va Ragazzi This means hi everyone how are youAs I write this it is Friday afternoon and I am sitting out on the terrace of my apartment with a glass of wine watching the sun setting over the holy cross on top of the mountains of the Amalfi Coast.Another school week in Italy is over so in total I have been a full time student studentesa learning Italian parlo Italiano for three http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Campania/blog-90439.html La Vie Bella Life is GoodSo it has been about three weeks from my last entry and boy has that time flown. I have been so fortunate to pack so many things into the last three weeks.The focus of August for me has been food food food rose rose rose and on the side some boating of all types kayaking sailing power boating and some mountain walks well one anyways.I will beak up this en http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/France/Aquitaine/L-ge-Cap-Ferret/blog-85793.html We arrived back in St Malo in France at 9pm and headed straight for the car park where Betsy was waiting for us still all in tact on the outside after spending one week in the car park. During the ferry trip back to St Malo Cara was slightly nervous that we would not be able to start Betsy as she has had issues with the battery running flat if it is not used for a bit. We were very relieved when http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/France/Provence-Alpes-C-te-d--Azur/blog-82333.html Well the big kangaroo landed in Frankfurt at 5am on Monday the 24th of July and I waved a big goodbye to my last link to Aussie for a while. I trekked with all of my stuff and yes I had a lot to the train station to do the fivehour train trip to Antwerp in Belgium to meet Cara.The train ride went pretty quickly with three train changes on the way to keep me on my toes literally with all of my http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Jersey/blog-79273.html Well the adventure begins with a huge hangover...lol...I am writing this from Singapore Changi after a fab flight from Sydney this morning. I must say I was hugely pleased after a huge night last night to get on the plane and find that I had been upgraded to business class.I had my doubts this morning when I was checking in that I was actually going to be flying today funny thing was I went to http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Singapore/Changi/blog-76663.html So this is what this travel blogging thing is all about storing all your fab travel stories on line for the world and your friends and family to see no more writing 1000 emails this is the place where everyone who subscribes will be able to see what I am up to when I start my adventure.....so thanks Yvette for introducing me to Travel Blogging.....So the reason Im setting up a travel blog is be http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/New-South-Wales/Sydney/blog-65710.html
