Well..... it's official, I am the worst blogger alive. I think about blogging, when i do stuff I draft blogs in my head, when I email people I tell them about things I do and then write "but I'll blog more about that later" and then I never do. Well, todays the day I finally restart my blogging, theres tonnes to catch up on. So much has been happening since Ive arrived in Melbourne, so maybe I'll backdate a few blogs to bring you up to speed however, theres is something im bursting to tell you all.............I MET HAROLD!!!!! I'm not [View Full Entry]

Ive finally made it to Sydney and have met up with Gil and Laura. Its so crazy to be on the road again and be with friends and in hostels. I'd got far too comfortable in Lori's backhouse in California and then at Kathy's in Adelaide but Sydney beckoned and the girls had been hanging around for 5 weeks waiting for New Year. We're staying in a Sydney suburb called Manly, its a 45 minute ferry ride from the City Centre. After a plane ride and a train ride I boarded the ferry and it pulled out of the harbour in [View Full Entry]

Well Lori, here it is, you can’t complain now, although this blog isn't about Glendora directly, its about one of my fondest memories of my stint in the states, I'll do my best to follow it up with an attempt at describing the wonders of Sweet Daddies!!....... Having realised I'd spent the best part of two months here in Cal-ee-for-nigh-aye and most of that time in LA county I thought it was about time I got round to doing the touristy stuff. I was here for a whole year during college and never made it to the Hollywood sign so I [View Full Entry]

Its halloween night and im sitting on the internet in Loris parents house and i keep getting interrupted with all the neighbourhood kids coming to the door and chiming in unison "trick or treat" some of them are cute and remember their manners but some of them are just plain monsters! (literally) i started off just offering the bowl thats pilled high with chocolates and popcorn but the kids were grabbiing handfuls and i started to fear that there would be none left for me!! Lori suggested that i just hand out one candy to each kid and thats been working [View Full Entry]

Hello people! Im sorry about the severe lack of blogs over the last couple of months, I have been so busy having adventures that i havent had time to write about them. well actually, that isnt all true, ive spent the best part of the last week laying in a hammock and playing cards with my travel buddies. However, everytime i sit down to write a blog i suddenly get writers block. Ive written brief notes about things ive been doing but i havent written anything worth publishing so i intend to work my way back and fill in the blanks [View Full Entry]

Hey everyone, I know this is old but I had to publish something from Argentina so I could colour in my world map (have you looked at that part of the website yet? I only discovered it not that long ago!) would you believe I have 10 blogs from Argentina to complete and publish? This was the most complete one! Enjoy..... Ive made it safe and sound to the centre of argentina here in Cordoba. Its bigger than i imagined and Titi lives just on the edge of town. Her family are all lovely and mostly speak spanish with me although [View Full Entry]

After a day in Asuncion Ive discovered that the lonely planet researchers probably havent visited here for a couple of years. Almost everything in the "backpackers bible" is out of date!! the first hostels that we went to that are recommended are closed down, the restaurants dont exist and the travel information is all wrong!! Its the first time Lonely planet has failed me but were getting by ok! They did get one thing right though, the breakfast in the hotel were staying in is described as "unremarkable" and they certainly got that right! After the fabulous breakfasts in Brazil (brilliant [View Full Entry]

I made it, after only a slight palava, safe and sound to Asunction, the capital city of Paraguay. Although I am minus a Brazillian exit stamp for Brazil and an entry stamp for Paraguay, so I am ilegal but Ill cross that border when i come to it, literally! I arrived at the dodgy port on the Paraguan side of the Rio Paraguay an hour before the boat was due only to be told that the boat wasnt coming until 5am!! The tiny town (about 3 houses, one bar and one hostel) was super dodgy and I didnt fancy waiting on [View Full Entry]

Ive spent the best part of the last two days waiting around for buses and boats. Im leaving Brasil tonight and heading for Paraguay on a cargo ship. It should be quite exciting and im looking forward to getting into a spanish speaking country again. Its quite frustrating not being able to speak the lingo. Sometimes if the brasillians speak very slowly i cant understand and its the same if i speak spanish slowly but at times its quite difficult. Portuguese is really quite hard. Paulo tried his best to teach me some phrases but it was just beyond me. Sometimes [View Full Entry]
