                    <description>After being released from the gentle clutches of my relatives Gina and I head north in le petit pois. As usual we haven39t got a clear plan of exactly where we39d like to be but we thought we might head for the upper Solta nameOLELINK2gtltagtlta nameOLELINK1gtltagtltspangtltspangtltspangtltspangtltspangtltspangtltspangtltspangtltsp</description>

                    <description>Once we made up mind to move on the last days with the family seem to go like a flash. In the 2 and a bit weeks since we arrived we39ve done a fairly comprehensive round of all the aunts. uncles and cousins on both sides of the family. Its been a really special time even though at times the language difficulties my broken Slovenian and the lack of English on the part of the older folk has mad</description>

                    <description>On Friday 11 May we took le petit poir for a drive over to Dolenja Vas to meet up with rels from my father39s side of the family. Lacking sufficient fluency I set up the day time and place with my cousin39s son through Facebook. To get there we decided to drive up the freeway autocesta and cut across the hills into the next valley from a northern approach. Despite what the map seemed to i</description>

                    <description>After returning from Croatia our time is taken up with further family visits....and massive meals. My uncle and aunt Janez and Marjana are totally obsessed with ensuring that we don39t go away from the table hungry. The result is that are we are usually bursting after every meal. On one particular day Janez takes us around to visit my uncle France and his wife Maria. We have a light meal of p</description>

                    <description>Fittingly Gina and I arrive in Slovenia on my birthday 2 May. Over about 3 days wed taken Le Petit Pois down from Argenton into the south of France and then across Provence past the riveria towns of Cannes and Nice into Italy. We scooted past Genoa and because it was raining went straight across the northern expanse of Italy in one day breaking the journey outside of Venice. The next day </description>

                    <title>26 to 30 April  Finishing up in France the first time</title>
                    <description>After finishing up our ANZAC day festivities with the Pagetts and with the calvados still flowing through our veins we travelled the sort distance back across the Belgian border to Bruges. It was nice to be in a country where people understood the english language I suppose it has to be that way cause no one speaks belgian or flemishand where road signs actually made sense. Apart from french d</description>

                    <description>We began our tour with the Pagetts by backtracking over some of the ground we39d covered in the previous trip north to the coast. Our goal on day one was to get ourselves some where close to Bayeux where we were due to meet our guide for next days tour of the American battlefield sites of World War 2. The day began grimly as we got lost getting out of Argenton. I think it was due to a rushed mo</description>

                    <description>After a couple of weeks of working around the house and taking the odd trip out to explore the local environs we decided it was time to treat ourselves to a little road trip. So on the 16 April we packed a few things and loaded up Helen and Pierre39s wonderful little Citreon C2 for a trip north.We didn39t really have a destination and thought we39d just go north as far as we could in a d</description>

                    <description>The first two weeks in France were about settling in and feeling our way around the place. We arrived at into ParisOrly airport on virtually the last AirAsia flight to Europe. With the bad times in Europe the KL based budget airline has decided to suspend its Euro flights and concentrate exclusively on the Asia  Pacific  a real shame cause our flights over were a real steal.Anyway after wo</description>

                    <description>The end of our time in Cambodia is spent in the capital Phnom Penh. It is the primal centre of Cambodia with something approaching 20 of the population of the country living in PP eking out something akin to living. Aside from Sihanoukeville and Siem Reap which are bolstered by tourist dollars the rest of the Cambodian population live in the countryside or in dusty second string towns. These sec</description>

                    <description>After the three days of working with TB we were very keen to see the Canadian Emergency Response team do their stuff. Gina and I headed out to TB headquarters early and meet Ellen and Thumi there. Unfortunately there is little action at the depot. We later found out that some of the gear that the canadians are relying on has been delayed in shipment so the whole exercise has been thrown back a nu</description>

                    <description>Our first day at Trailblazer Foundation. Early in the morning Ellen and Alex make their way over to our hotel from their new accomodation a cheap but clean guesthouse near the town centre called Orchidee. We take a tuk tuk around to the I Win guesthouse to wake Sam and Nick knowing that an early morning start for these guys is unlikely to be achieved without some assistance. With little real trou</description>

                    <description>We arrive in Siem Reap at 6am shattered by the experience of the night bus. As is the norm the bus station is in a yard away from the town centre. Its not the most welcoming of places to arrive at as the yard is confined with the only tuktuk drivers allowed in being those preselected by the bus company for onward journeys to hotels. There is no haggling over the price for the tuktuk rides as</description>

                    <description>I make the short trip to Sihanoukville and check into the very pleasant Grand Sihanouk Hotel just around the corner from the bus stop. Before doing anything around town I am anxious to see where Ellen and Alex have landed particularly after the harried separation the previous day. I walk around to a couple of the hostel type places close to the bus stop but cant find their names in the regis</description>

                    <description>The next leg of the trip is to cross the border into Cambodia and make our way onto the first large town of Kampot. Ellen and Alex have their hearts set on getting to the beachside party town of Sihanoukville or plain old Snooky to everyone down here. After assessing the various ways of making the trip we settle with what looks a legitimate minibus company that passes through this route on a dail</description>

                    <description>The last day in Saigon is a slow day. Ellen and Alex are trying to throw off lingering tummy bugs and I was keen that these are arrested before we undertake the next stage of travel a lengthy trip by bus through the Mekong Delta to the Cambodian border. Loc and I meet in the evening for few beers to say goodbye. He had come back from Vung Tau earlier that day and was carrying a bag of cooked hors</description>

                    <description>Ellen Alex and I made our way back to Saigon especially because we have been invited to be guests of Loc to celebrate a milestone associated with the passing of Locs father the previous year. Normally the milestone is the first anniversary of the death and signifies the formal end of the mourning period. However in a perfect show of just how flexible Buddhism is the family elects to slate the</description>
