                    <title>Beijing</title>
                    <description>Well I arrived in China safe and sound and spent my first day wandering around the back streets of Beijing and then visiting the Lama temple. There were lots of large buddahs and incense In the evening I met the group and we met our guide Ricky. On the next day we headed to the Great Wall and myself and a few others decided that taking the cable car up would be the lazy option so we walked up 60</description>

                    <title>South Africa</title>
                    <description>Today was only a short drive over the border into South Africa. I liked South Africa straight away as we didn39t have to fill out any immigration forms and it was sunny  We got to our camp and then a few of us went kayaking down Orange River. Once Sarah and I were in the rhythm it was really great fun. The only downside were the annoying flies that kept biting us That evening the camp cooke</description>

                    <description>We travelled from Botswana to Namibia on the truck and arrived in Windhoek at around 2pm. We checked into our hotel and everyone was so excited because there were beds hot showers and internet We sat by the pool until the sun went down and then got ready to go out. We went to a place called Joe39s bar and I had a 16oz steak Also tried some crocodile It was nice like chicken Then much dri</description>

                    <description>We travelled on our overland truck from Zambia to Botswana. The border took ages  again We went to a place called Kasane in the Chobe National Park. After we had set up our tents and had lunch we went on a river cruise on the Chobe river. It was awesome We saw elephants hippos crocodiles buffalos waterbucks and lots of birds. And we saw a fabulous sunset. The next morning we had to be up me</description>

                    <description>I arrived in Livinstone after an epic wait in customs to get my visa but I made it through customs and to the campsite where I was starting my journey. It was right on the Zambezee river and had a fab view. I had a beer in the bar and met some fellow travellers before being shown to our tent and meeting the rest of our group. The next day I explored Victoria Falls a short taxi ride away with Pe</description>

                    <description>We arrived to Nazca quite late and our hotel was literally in the middle of nowhere about ten minutes drive down a very bumpy road. We checked into our rooms and me and Vicky found a nice surprise in the shower A grasshopper  thankfully not a cockroach But Bill came to the rescue and got rid of it for us  Afterwards we had dinner of chicken and chips in the hotel and then I played a few roun</description>

                    <title>Lima and Pisco</title>
                    <description>I flew down from Quito to Lima late Wednesday evening and after a little hiccup of going to the wrong hotel I checked in and met my new room mate Vicky. The next morning we got up and had breakfast with a couple of other guys from the group and changed money into sols which is the Peruvian currency. Then we caught a taxi to the old town. The ride took about thirty minutes from the hotel and the d</description>

                    <title>Galapagos</title>
                    <description>Well I am finally back from my trip to the Galapagos. Eight days on board the boat Galapagos Adventures 3. The flight from Quito was about two and half hours with a short stop for half an hour in Guayaquil. The airport was more of a shed but it was efficient and we had to get a bus a little ferry and then another bus to get to where our boat was moored in Puerto Ayora on the island of Santa Cruz.</description>

                    <description>I arrived in Quito late last night and got to my Hotel la Cartuja. I had a great nights sleep even if I did wake up at 4am I had breakfast and then booked myself on a tour of the city and a visit to the Equator I met my room mate Linda and we took a stroll around the area near our hotel and went for coffee. The coffee was amazing and it was cool to sit and soak up the atmosphere and watch the </description>

                    <description>Thursday We left early this morning to catch the bus to Prague. We had to drag our bags around the cobbled streets up a steep hill to a bus station and then caught a very nice bus  posh leather seats and TVs  to Prague. When we got to Prague we were shown to our apartments. I was sharing with four other girls Andrea Gill Grace and Estelle. It was fab as we had our own kitchen and fridge and w</description>

                    <description>TuesdayI got up early today as me Steve Jill Andrea and Grace were going to climb up the Stephansdom tower this morning. We met up at 8.30am and made it to the centre on the Ubahn by 9am just in time for opening. There was no way we were going to miss it this time We found the entrance and started the long climb. It is 349 steps to the top I think I have definitely got fitter on this holiday</description>

                    <title>Day trip to Bratislava</title>
                    <description>MondayToday we met at half 8 to catch the train to Bratislava Slovakia. We caught the tram to the station and then got on the train. The journey took about an hour and was fairly scenic. When we got there George showed us where to go in the old town before he had to head back to Vienna. We headed up to the castle first. It was under rennovation but we walked around the outside and it gave us grea</description>

                    <description>SaturdayI arrived in Vienna about 4pm local time. The flight was fairly painless even though it was late leaving. I decided to chance my luck on the train as a taxi to the hotel was 40 Plus the travel notes assured me it was an easy thing to do So I bought a ticket and found the CAT which is the airport train that takes you to Vienna. That part was quite easy and then I had to catch the Uba</description>

                    <title>Day 3 in Havana</title>
                    <description>Today was Robbyn's and my last day in Havana before we met up with our tours. We were going to look in the museums but as the weather was so hot we decided to take a stroll down the Malecon We firstly stopped at Castillo de San Salvador which was empty apart from us but gave us good views of the bay. Then we thought we would walk down to the Hotel National. It seemed like a good idea at the time</description>

                    <description>We met in the foyer this morning after breakfast to begin our journey. We met the rest of the people that had arrived last last night. Everyone seems really nice and friendly. We made our way out to our own little mini bus which was well cute and air conditioned Bonus We drove along the highway where we passed plenty of fields and lots of hitch hikers. Apparently public transport is virtually no</description>

                    <description>On our second day in Havana we got up to the sounds of the street a very loud cockerel and a guava lorry. The lorry driver gave me and Robbyn both some guavas but when I tasted it I realised why he was giving them away Ugh We caught a tour bus for a city tour of Havana which then crashed into a lamp post We then had to wait to catch another bus  very eventful Then we took another bus which t</description>

                    <description>Today me and Robbyn arrived in Havana Cuba. The weather was hot and the street were lined with palm trees It was fabulous We took a cab from the airport after extremely lax security surprisingly to our apartment for the next few days. The cars were ancient and the streets narrow but and it was something of a culture shock. Still we settled in and then took a walk out into Central Havana to ex</description>

                    <description>On my first day in Croatia I left a rainy England and arrived in beautiful sunny Split I got a taxi to my hotel  settled into my room and chilled out for a bit as it had been an early start. Then guide book in hand a took a stroll to see what Split had to offer. My guide book offered a walking tour of the town and I saw Diocletian's palace cathedral and statue of Grgur Ninski. </description>
