                    <title>It was all over "in a New York minute"</title>
                    <description>Last Tuesday we set out from Cape Elizabeth towards New York City on the last leg of our journey. We stopped for lunch at Plymouth as a handy and historic halfway point between Maine and Cape Cod where we planned to spend a couple more seasidey days before hitting the city. Plymouth is where the socalled Pilgrim Fathers decided to settle after their voyage from Plymouth in England on the Mayflow</description>

                    <description>The title of this blog is in honour of ALL the businesses in Maine that have this terrible pun in their name e.g. Mainely Quilts Mainely Vinyl Mainely Meat etc etc. Believe me there were many many of them.Carla Two Fridays ago we made our way from Vermont to New Hampshire and picked a spot in the White Mountains to camp overnight. The White Mountains have slightly higher peaks than the </description>

                    <description>Carla On Friday we pushed the boat out literal boat and metaphorical one and spent some cash on a proper 39tour39 of Niagara Falls. This meant we didn39t have to drive ourselves around and find parking spots for a massive great van all the time. There was also the smooth sales patter from the tour tout who promised us two free ponchos each plus some plastic sandals. How could we say no</description>

This week the theme is lakes and also escape from heat flatness and thunderstorms. We loved Madison which was an oasis of rightthinking in the midwestern desert vegetarian food organic supermarkets green concern etc.</description>

                    <description>Alex We drove east from the Black Hills into the Badlands National Park. The Badlands is one of the strangest landscapes we have seen on our trip. It looks just like something out of an scifi film based on another planet. The rocks have yellow and red stripes and are carved into tall sharp peaks and deep twisting valleys. We drove along a road that followed the edge of the 39Wall39 the l</description>

                    <description>Carla This week we visited Yellowstone National Park for a three night stop from Thursday to Sunday morning. The wildlife highlight turned out to be on our first drive through the park on our way to find our campground. We came from Montana and drove east through the herds of wild bison either side of the road we were very impressed at their size and scariness. Suddenly we turned a corner and a </description>

                    <description>Carla Last Thursday seems like a long time ago the miles are going under our belt reasonably rapidly now and a week later we39re two whole states and a lot of weather away from the Washington State coast. On Thursday 5th we got up early to get to the outskirts of Seattle for 10am. The traffic on the highway going towards the city was dense and rushhoury the road surface poor and my overall </description>

                    <description>George On 27th June we drive out of the Stockton KOA and we go back to Sacramento Fire Station to give back the money they gave us and to see if the police report is ready and it39s not. We stop off at Clearlake for lunch and I walk down the pontoon. We arrive at Fort Bragg at about 6 or 7 we have burgers and toast marshmallows. The next day in the morning we go down to the beach there are l</description>

                    <description>Carla After leaving Lake Mead we drove north through the Nevada Desert skirting the outer edge of Las Vegas. There are lots of words you can use to describe the desert here but one that springs to mind immediately is 39empty39. Its very very very empty indeed. The road stretches ahead shimmering into the distance in perfect straight lines. We drove for 6 hours and for 400 miles from Las Ve</description>

                    <description>A WEEK IN FIJIAlex After all the activities in New Zealand it has been lovely to get some rest and just chill in Fiji. The Anchorage Beach resort was more luxurious than the cost justified with a huge comfortable room with easy access to the pool and beach. George and Ruby met an Australian boy called Fisher and spent several days exploring the beach mangrove swamps with him and playing in the p</description>

She was nearly 90 and she was Carla39s Gran. She was an intrepid traveller.

                    <description>George with commentary by Carla On Tuesday we go to the airplane museum where there are lots of lifesize model planes and some of them are flyable and one of them is the only one of its kind left in the world. Some of the models are very odd. The drive down from Linkwater to Blenheim took us from fjords inlets and wooded hills into the big country of fertile plains and vineyards. The New Zea</description>

We arrive at the campsite 3 hours after we left. The campsite has a trampoline.ltspangtltspangtltspangtltspangt The following day we go to a beach that has hot water in the sand.

They once lived very near us in North London and have been lucky enough to decamp to Devonport  a perfect peninsula just across the harbour from downtown Auckland  and have this gorgeous lifes</description>

                    <description>Carla We took a boat along the Mekong early on Monday morning. The boat took an hour or so to reach the border at Vinh Xuong where we officially left Vietnam. The riverside landscape was crammed with stilt and floating houses up to this point and the river was busy with traffic. The boat went for 2 minutes through nomans river to the Cambodian border control which illustrated the contra</description>

At night I get ill and have to move in with Mum its terrible diarrhoea because I put my finger in my mouth after putting my hands on the floor near the lake. I am also vomiting a lot.

                    <description>Carla The drive from Luang Prabang to Vang Vieng south through the Laos countryside took 8 hours but didnt feel as long. The sites scenery and bumpiness of the roads kept us on the edge of our seats and wide awake. We drove through hills up to 2500 metres above sea level which were dramatic limestone formations shrouded in mist  similar to those we were to see later surrounded by sea in </description>

                    <description>Ruby After spending some time in Thailand we left Chiang Rai to go to the Laos border so we went down to where all the boats were.  We got onto a miniboat and sailed to Laos.  When were at Laos we had to go onto another boat to a part in Laos that we wanted to go to.  So we got onto the boat. It was a very good boat and it was only for us. Me and George jumped straight onto the bed. Two hours </description>
