Another late entry - today we are ın Turkey (July 14 2008) The country is extremely poor and they are stıll tryıng to clean up the land mınes from the Khmer Rouge. The good thıng was there was a lot of foreign aıde and help beiıng undertaken. So much of the country laid to waste and now just tryıng to embrace a new rebuıldıng stage helped by tourısm. I had a young boy of about 6 years old tug on my shırt - he was holdıng a sleepıng baby on hıs hıp and askıng for mılk for the baby. The poor [View Full Entry]

Hello all, we have just arrived back in Bangkok after about 4 weeks in Vietnam and Cambodia. Today is May 16 and we are in an internet kiosk booking plans for Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai. I will cover our trip to Vietnam on this blog entry. Vietnam, what can you say about Vietnam. We flew from Bangkok to Hanoi on April 16, I had done an online visa application before hand. We arrived at the Hanoi airport with all the appropriate documentation in hand. There was a French tour group ahead of us and this seemed to cause massive confusion [View Full Entry]

Hi Everyone, Hope this finds everyone doing well and the weather getting warmer. Well we had some exciting times in Krabi. Got got in a massive monsoon type rainstorm. We've never seen it rain so hard. We were sitting on the deck of a restaurant and had front row seats to watch the lightning show. All was well until Marcia and I had to go to the toilet. I had flip flops on and just about fell on my ass going down the stairs - marble is very slippery when wet. The guy from the restaurant gave us an umbrella because [View Full Entry]

Yes we are still on this planet - having a bit too much fun here and no time for the blog. Well since we last blogged we have been island hopping - seen alot of the south of Thailand. Ko Samui was once the place to go but is now very overpopulated and still growing except for the sewer system - we were not impressed - quite disgusting. But we did meet some very nice people Deb and Lisa from London. We are hoping to meet up with them when we get there. We toured around the island which only takes [View Full Entry]

Hi Everyone; We are having a lazy day today after many full on days. We had a great time in Aussie. Last blogged we were in Sydney getting soaked. After leaving there we went to Tassie. What a great place. Everyone is so laid back and genuine. We started off in Hobart - cute little town -old buildings - used to be a town for criminals. If you misbehaved there then you were off to Port Arthur which was where all the real bad guys were. We visited Port Arthur = quite the place. Tassie was an island of criminals which [View Full Entry]

Hi there, I just wanted to post some pictures as we have them backed up to disc now. I didn't want to risk losing all of them again. These are mostly New Zealand and some Australia. Sorry about the random order. We are currently in Bangkok, it is everything it is noted for, I have been propositioned by at least 3 different genders here. Hope you enjoy the pics.

So I guess if we are sharing this blog I better hold up to my part. We are currently in Sidney Australia where it is pouring buckets with the thunder and lightening to boot. So far we have only had one day of sun in Oz - I heard that they were in the middle of a drought, but in the last 5 days they have been having record rainfalls from the last 6-10 years - maybe we aren't in Oz afterall. New Zealand was quite the experience. It was everything I expected and more. I really felt like I was [View Full Entry]

Hello, we have decided to split the blogging efforts between the 2 of us. I got the northern portion (not as exciting as the south but I will try to cheese it up a little). I have to got to say I have given up trying to get these people to drive on the right side of the road. They are stubborn and won't conform to my efforts to convert them. At times it was almost dangerous as I try to coax them over to the right side of the road. I feel sorry for the turn indicator, so many times [View Full Entry]

Hello again from New Zealand, we wanted to post some pictures from Fiji while we can and give an update on NZ. We arrived into the South Island Jan 14 on a ferry that I think is called the Good Ship Nausea. Pretty windy and rough I hear (I slept the whole 3.5 hours in a Gravol induced coma). I am really amazed at the beauty of this country, everywhere you go there is something very beautiful to see and do. Back to Fiji, we had a great time in Fiji and have uploaded a few images I hope to do [View Full Entry]

Bula from Fiji, (well we are in New Zealand right now). Fiji was really nice but very very hot. We got fried the very first day and my feet swelled up the size of small hams, same colour as well. We were really lucky to have about 4 days of cloud and rain so we could recover from the initial shock of pasty white flesh mets nuclear heat. We stayed in the Yasawas for the whole time less the date of arrival and the date of departure and it is really very cool. The water is amazing just like the postcards. [View Full Entry]
