| 25th September 2009 AnnaAdventuring | - From: Last days in Beijing: Pandas, the modern Monk, the horrors of heading home and laughing in the face of jetlag Hi! I've been enjoying your last few blogs. Are you back in England now? What's the next destination? |
| 7th July 2009 Tom | Great pictures - From: Hofn, snowmobile fun and Jokulsarlon iceberg lagoon I'm currently planning a trip to Iceland, and your trip report and pictures have definitely convinced me to go snowmobiling and to visit Jokulsarlon. Looks like you had a great time, and thanks for posting these. |
| 1st May 2009 Cookiek | re; Char - From: Breakdowns in Beijing If you are free in the May half term let me know. bring the kids up for a few days. |
| 27th April 2009 Char | So envious - From: Breakdowns in Beijing Cookie - I'm so envious of your travels - I would love to do that. Perhaps when the kids are slightly older - Gap years all round!! You really well - it's just like reading the lonely planet, only much more interesting. It has become my regular bedtime reading. Looking forward to all the next instalments. Please forward them onto Mich. Big hugs to Buddy and Mark (if he's still with you). Luv Char |
| 25th April 2009 Cookiek | - From: Breakdowns in Beijing England may have it's faults, but its one the few places on earth where you can get a decent cup of tea and a proper sandwich. It looks like you had a fantastic time on your travels as well, hope I can take a trip of that length some day. |
| 23rd April 2009 Paul&Emma | - From: Breakdowns in Beijing Good blog! It brought back some fond memories (as well as some smiles) of last year when we were there too, I understand what you mean about just wanting something as simple as a ham sandwich!! Safe travels mytb.org/paul-and-emma |
| 20th April 2009 Jub and Anna | This looks great! - From: Sleeping on the Great Wall of China. I wish we had done this at the Great Wall. Fantastic. Keep enjoying the food in China, and thanks for the comment on our blog. All the best & safe travels. |
| 20th April 2009 PA Leslie | Hi - From: Sleeping on the Great Wall of China. I read this entry with envy...you guys had fun! Did the Wall with Leslie back in 2001...so long ago...he was having his first steps...wish I can do what you did one day. |
| 18th April 2009 Cookiek | - From: Xi'an - mastering the art of not falling down toilets (but falling off bikes instead). Thats fine, don't mind at all. We will most definatly be visiting China again at some point, we are having an amazing time! I was taking to someone yesterday who lives in Harbin, they were telling me about the harsh winter weather! Sounds like great fun though. |
| 18th April 2009 Marta | - From: Xi'an - mastering the art of not falling down toilets (but falling off bikes instead). Great article!! I am using it for my English class today( hope you don't mind). Students are really interested in traveling, and I think especially something about China will draw their attention. I have been to Xian myself, and I really liked it. I live in Harbin, btw, you should come once and see the Ice Festival in winter, its amazing,but you will freeze your a.. off. You can do that when you plan to travel on trans- siberian as the train goes through Harbin. I am going to do it this summer.good luck! |

| 26th March 2009 Cookiek | - From: Italy - Rome, Naples, Pompei I have heard more bad experiences of Rome than good ones. Its so sad really. All I have ever heard is how friendly Italian people are, sadly, it seems that does not extend to the people in Rome. I am a little wary of visiting the rest of Italy now to be honest, we were treated so rudly while we were there. In contrast, we are in Australia at the moment and things could not be more different - we arrived at our hotel at 9am, (the check in time was 2pm) just to ask if we could leave our bags here until check in time, they appologised to us, and gave us a free breakfast buffet while they sorted out a room immediatly, so different to my experience in Rome! |
| 24th March 2009 eddie | romans are plain nasty - From: Italy - Rome, Naples, Pompei We agree with you. From the moment we landed we knew we were up to encountering trouble. They lost our luggage. I was told by the woman behind the counter to move-over with a hand gesture because she wanted to take care of another airline customer first, even though I was first in line. We experienced food practically tossed at us in a restaurant in Trastevere. In a pharmacy, the lady behind the counter after a long sigh of discontent toss a box of sleeping pills on the counter. Everywhere we tried to ask questions, everybody seemed to be very bothered by us, almost angry. They were very self absorded with themselves and just didn't want to be bothered. even at the last minute at fiumicino airport I asked very politely to a woman who was chichatting with a girlfriend in the in an airline counter if she coul tell me where SWISS air counter was ,she said i needed to look at the monitor ;after along few minutes arguiing that monitor only show gates and that the airport did not have signage,she just kept reapeating that she did not know,we finally left her and took five stept and SWiss air was right there ,oposite to her.they even share the same conveyour belt,she was a cunt and i wont even start on the graffitti and trash that covers the city,food was not specially good just reliable,after all is only pasta or pizza |

| 13th February 2009 Cookiek | - From: Suffolk blues and counting my blessings Yes. We live in a little village just south of Eye. Very, very quiet! Am counting down the days until we leave now, I cannot wait! It's amazing how fast the time passes while you are travelling though. |

| 17th September 2008 Cookiek | - From: Italy - Rome, Naples, Pompei although a little hard to think of happy things when your child is being pushed over and having things dragged over him by growm adults who should know better, but thanks! |
| 16th September 2008 Chanelle | the secret - From: Italy - Rome, Naples, Pompei have you ever heard of the secret.? its called the law of attraction. look it up. but everything in this universe, good or bad, you attract to yourself. so if you had a bad time, its cuz you let your bad mood get the best of you. next time you decide you are having a bad day, think of things that make you happy and change your mood. I promise you'll have a better day. |
| 14th September 2008 JintysJourneys | Well they said they didn't build Rome in a day? - From: Italy - Rome, Naples, Pompei Hi Terry-Ann Sorry to hear about your Italy trip. We had such a different experience of Italy. Did you get to Herculaneum? That was so much quieter, cooler and better than Pompei.Did you go up Vesuvius at all? I'm sure you'll return sometime and have a better experience. I've just about finished my Iceland blog and have recovered from the whale watching!! Never again on such a rough trip!! We got one decent photo so I'll email it to you the normal way. Have a great time in Morocco. Jeannie |
