| 4th January 2009 Maureen | Mowgli - From: Sabah Discovery - The Coast Perhaps you should be aware that Mowgli was taken from Sepilok Orangutan Rehabiliation Centre. There he had a chance of being returned to the forest to live his life in the wild. Now he's just a zoo exhibit. The poor thing has had his life taken away to exist in conditions that are from ideal - another orangutan drowned there last year. |
| 20th November 2008 bruce | Royal Ascot - From: Merryn, Liz and Phil take on Royal Ascot I remember a coolish day there in September 1980, and walking back to Sunningdale to spend the night with a friend form Monash Uni (her sister has just published a book on Gough Whitalm). It was not Royal week, so it was the desperates & no hopers. Far more impressive were the footy matches i went ot - Arsenal beating Forest 1-0, and Everton 2-1 and Tottenham drawing 0-0 with Sunderland with pop Roson hitting hte cross bar in the last 15 mins for Sunderland and almoat winning the match. Most impressive ground wa the quant Hearts of Midlothian in Edinburgh who lost 0-2 to the rampaging Celtic (who I had seen in Aust play Red Star Belgrade in about 1978 in a 4 team com p with Arsenal and Aust (we were not much good then being swept aside in a World Cup group of 5 including Iran, Iraq, Kuwait and maybe Qatar or Indonesia). |
| 20th November 2008 bruce | Auckland contrast - From: Macau I can relate to the Auckland Tower glass panels. Not into the bungy myself, but go for it. Looks like a thriving construction zone like Shanghai or anywhere else in China. Small state & heaps of people, so lots of public transport? Did you get to the gee gees? How do they relate/complement the Honkers gallops? Close to the standard of one another? You in Melbourne yet? |
| 21st September 2008 Julia | Amazing - From: Macau Thanks Merryn for great pictures & comments - makes me want to give Hong Kong a second chance. I'm not sure if bungee jumping's my thing - it's all over too fast, would be great to hang glide from the top though. I'm just about to open the other pages. |
| 13th September 2008 Craig | Amazing pics - From: Four nights in Bangkok........ Jeepers Merryn, you took some amazing pics! Was a great holiday! |
| 3rd February 2008 mary | Hey - From: Sabah Discovery - The Coast Super to hear from you! On the road again I see. Photographs are terrific. I would so love to get up close and personal with an orangatan. I thought at one time of volunteering 3 months in borneo at an orang rescue group parenting baby orangs whose mother had been killed by poachers. The stories of bird-sized mosquitoes dampened by enthusiasm. Will email shortly to catch up. Two days from now we're having dinner with friends on their way to OZ, specifically to Perth. and then a train to sydney?! I certainly thought The Great Ocean Road(which they are NOT doing) would trump a train trip on the west coast - but what do I know. Best tip on Perth? More Later Hugs, Mary |
| 6th December 2006 Mary Dreger | Hello - From: Postscript to trip - "There's no place like home" Merryn. You have a home in LA as long as we're here! Bet you're a bit weary of travel at this point!! Hope to see you again, either here or there. We're still looking at Australia in the Spring. See you on the Ocean Road! |
| 21st November 2006 Dermot | Welcome Home & Thanks - From: Postscript to trip - "There's no place like home" Dear Merryn Welcome home and many thanks for the great travel blog, I really enjoyed all of them. Maybe see you at CAE Chinese? Dermot |
| 20th November 2006 Martin | Welcome Home, Chuckie ! - From: Postscript to trip - "There's no place like home" Welcome Home, Chuckie ! And I feel I should say: a consistent thing all the way through your travels has been fantastic photography. I'm hoping I get to see some of the pictures that never made it onto the Blog sometime. Catch you later x. |
| 20th November 2006 Barbara & George | What an adventure! - From: Postscript to trip - "There's no place like home" Glad to hear that you made it home again, safe and sound.

Best wishes, and be sure to let us know when the book is published. |
| 20th November 2006 Simone | - From: Postscript to trip - "There's no place like home" Hi Merryn, Lovely to read all the travel stories (well only the china ones for me...but still). You made me put china on the long list of countries where I have to go in my lifetime...and the list is getting longer and longer :). Did you organise your pictures yet? that was my favourite thing to do at home. Have fun back home...you are lucky that you are back in australia (the summer is coming!)..I miss australia really bad. Maybe when I come back to australia (some day) we will meet again. Thanks! |
| 20th November 2006 Cathy | Brought tears to the eyes - From: Postscript to trip - "There's no place like home" Thanks for keeping up your travel blog and entertaining us with your witty banter. Great to have you back. |

| 10th November 2006 Simone | Great times in china? - From: First days in China........ Hi Merryn, Great stories..and pics. China looks beautiful. I was just wondering how you were doing in china...but it seems that you get along just fine (and how is you're chinese now? lost you're arabic?) I'm already home for several weeks and everything is back to normal again...and i miss the travelling a lot (and it is cold!! it is freezing at night..very nice!) Enjoy the last part of you're trip because before you know it you're back at work and wondered if you did al that traveling or that it was just a dream (but luckely you have you're pictures). Well have fun and enjoy everything!..and thanks again for the nice time in Hong Kong. greeting, Simone |
| 3rd November 2006 Honkie | - From: Bright lights, big city.....and plenty of sporting action Hi Merryn, Nice pics. I suppose you went to the public stand of the Sha Tin race track. Most aussie punters go to the members stand with nicer facilities.(hk$150 entrance fee) |
| 1st November 2006 hawi hordofa | loved you'r trip and have some question. - From: Standing on the roof of Africa Hi! how are u? I loved your blog, and I am doing a research on Mt.kilimanjaro. I was excited to see your pictures; i am really interested. If you have time, could you answer a few questions? 1. What was Kilimanjaro like? 2. Where did you travel from? 3. How long did you stay there? 4. What will you remember most? 5. What did you least like about you’re trip? 6. Was it worth it? (The trip) 7. Where did you stay? 8. What was the weather like? |
| 9th October 2006 meg | emshallah - From: 3 weeks in Egypt I think the reason there are so few car accidents is because everyone drives in the "god willing" fashion ... if someone is pushing in then they are meant to be there ... or something! I only saw one in a month in egypt - at some stupidly large roundabout in cairo with about 10 lanes of traffic rolled into about 4 lanes! Your pics of dahab take me back to the tough decisions to make each day about which particular beachside cafe to have lemon and sugar pancakes for brekkie at. played lots of backgammon there too! am still INSANELY jealous! sara's new bub (Zachary Francis) born today. mum and bub apparently doing well |
| 9th October 2006 Mary Dreger | Egypt - From: 3 weeks in Egypt I am EXHAUSTED just reading about your break-neck pace! Dive certification in 4 days??!!. Most take four weeks! Glad you got some R & R at a real house, probably even in a bed with running water! Photos are super! |
| 26th September 2006 Mae | Ain't no mountain high enough - From: Standing on the roof of Africa Merryn There ain't no mountain high enough Ain't no river wide enough to keep you from seeing the world... Congratulations on climbing Mt Kili!! Gongxi (Congratulations in Chinese) Am enjoying reading about your wonderful adventures!! A few months ago, I was offered a job that I really wanted at CSIRO, so I have postponed my travel plans for awhile (and perhaps indefinitely beyond holidays. But who knows, one day, some day...) Anyway, keep enjoying yourself and we will enjoy your experiences vicariously! Cheers Mae |
| 25th September 2006 Florida Bruce | Cool Beans....or was that ostrich to surrender by? - From: Standing on the roof of Africa The Derby was just cake and ice cream compared to this. This settles it..your the Queen Bee. Yearling (Hope) is home...take care and enjoying your adventure....except the toilet gods on the way...or was that toilet bushes there? |
| 25th September 2006 Alex | CONGRATS!! - From: Standing on the roof of Africa A big congrats on getting to the top. Have been following the trip with envy!! Look forward to seeing you home soon. cheers Alex. |
| 22nd September 2006 Penny and Tim | Great pictures! - From: No hurry......In Africa! Hi Merryn Tim and I have just finished looking at all the pictures - absolutely fantastic. You could get a job with National Geographic as a photographer! Cheers Penny and Tim |
| 18th September 2006 Mary Dreger | WOW - From: No hurry......In Africa! Like watching a year of Animal Planet in a few days. Photos from Serengeti are amazing! I see posters in your future - and Africa in mine! Thanks Mary |
| 18th September 2006 meg | now now or just now? - From: No hurry......In Africa! Ahhh - the joys of "Africa time" - the continent where things happen in their own sweet time! Your photos are amazing - can't wait to see the full version. Makes me want to head back tomorrow - if only there weren't so many other places on the to do/see list... and no money. no snow to speak of at hotham this season but have chilli peppers tix so life is not all bad! |
| 18th September 2006 Heather and Bernie | Nice! - From: No hurry......In Africa! Ahhh, my dream holiday. Perhaps one day. Loved every comment and pics were fantastic. Keep them coming. Hope you are keeping safe and well. Love Heather, Bernie, Oscar and Ben. |

Noah has been providing the sound effects! Sounds like you are seeing the best of Africa! Keep up with the blogs, we love them! Sara & Noah |
| 16th September 2006 Martin Harley | The Famous Merryn Charm - From: Quick note from Dubai Couldn't possibly comment...... |
| 10th September 2006 Matt | Keep having fun! - From: Quick note from Dubai Merryn, It sounds like you are having an amazing time and I note that the famous Merryn charm is working on many a stray man in the hostels you are crashing in! Keep enjoying it and keep having fun! Matt B |
| 10th September 2006 Stalker | Disgraceful - From: My Greek Odyssey - Athens Is it true that Aphrodite was the Greek goddess of skank? |
| 28th August 2006 Phil |(fisky) | She lied about the stag - From: Bus to Chamonix and other stories..... Hi Merryn Hope you enjoy your trip up Kili and mind the rats and poo too much! The Stag proper is not for another 6 weeks so watch this space!! Read your blog on our trip to the alps and was slightly shocked if not hurt to see you had made several crucial omissions from the tale to enhance your role in the proceedings. I see you failed to mention Jez's single handed capture of the those burly street criminals, Martin falling asleep on the bass speaker of that rocking Night club we visited and Ged's uncanny resemblance of a sheep you once owned. And me being the only one to stay awake. ENjoy the rest of your trip and I shall look forward to more blogs x |
| 28th August 2006 Mary Dreger | Roman Holiday - From: The Italian Affair Part III - The Final Chapter Loved the Roman Holiday. That was my favorite movie when I was a little kid. And made audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck my favorites until I fell in love with Paul Newman years later. Thinking you skipped Venice? Is Santorini in your itinerary? I'm exhausted just reading about the Ferry! Keep Smiling |
| 15th August 2006 Robert Bruce | The Italian Affair...III ....The Final Chapter - From: The Italian Affair Part III - The Final Chapter If your journey was an horse race.......would you be kicking in about now......or ....drifting in or out some...? Take care and wishing you a safe and pleasant journey home. |
| 14th August 2006 Martin Harley | Snowboarder - From: The Italian Affair Part II - My Roman Holiday Hey Merryn; glad you're doing fine in Rome. Looks fantastic. I like that picture of the weird guy pulling a pose at the tunnel entrance. Reminds me of a snowboarder-dude I once saw. Keep safe, Mart. |
| 9th August 2006 Teresa & Corrine | The Italian Affair - From: The Italian Affair Part II - My Roman Holiday Ciao bella Merryn Enjoy reading your magnificent travels. Rome is wonderful. As in Rome do as the Romans do. Teresa Hi Merryn, I have been following your travels from your blog that you send Greg.I can see that you are having a great time. Keep it up and I am jealous. Corrine |
| 4th August 2006 peter donnelly | - From: The Italian Affair Part II - My Roman Holiday Hi Merryn, Lovely to see that you are having a great time. You should be charging the Italian Tourist Bureau! Off out to l unch with Jars shortly to work out how we can sort out the NHS. Stay tuned - you're part of the plot !! cheers Peter |
| 2nd August 2006 Rushby | Booze n Birds - From: Bus to Chamonix and other stories..... You omitted your topless run through the centre of Chamonix, the bit where we set fire to Martin's trousers and the night in the cells. |
| 24th July 2006 Mary Dreger | - From: Bus to Chamonix and other stories..... AMAAAZZZING photos Merryn. We definitely should have bought much, much, more memory at Samy's!! I think of you fondly each time I have prints made from your gift certificate there! Thanks for the updates |
| 24th July 2006 Stalker | Drunk Category # 4 - From: Bus to Chamonix and other stories..... Stuff the G-rating. Can't believe you left off Skanky drunks which can be broken down into about 7 sub-categories, most of which are personal favoruties of mine and have pet names of the 7 dwarfs. |
| 23rd July 2006 SD | Well Written - From: Bus to Chamonix and other stories..... and glad you liked one of my favorite places in the world. |
| 13th July 2006 meg | hmmmm - From: I'm in London still...... still very jealous ... but it is miserable weather here so hopefully it is dumping snow at Hotham where I am heading tomorrow! |
| 11th July 2006 Tanya O'Farrell | Hi - From: I'm in London still...... Hi luv, it looks like you are having a wonderful time. You certainly look happy and relaxed, am so jealous! Take Care and have some more cider for us! |
| 11th July 2006 Stalker | Rubbing shoulders with the Upper Class - From: I'm in London still...... Not surprised at all to see you sucking up to Lord Coe. Thought you may have been trying to seduce him into taking the Bombers job after Sheedy is sacked at the end of the year. Would love to see Coe at Windy Hill addressing the boys before another loss "Tally ho chaps, can't you convicts kick straight" |
| 10th July 2006 David Debono | Hello - From: The South West adventure Hi Merryn, We hope you are well and it sounds like you have a great time. The pics and the descriptions have been fantastic. Take care. Cheers Dave & Lisa |
| 9th July 2006 Mary Dreger | The agony of defeat - From: Hallo from Stuttgart! Watching Australia fall to Brazil is like watching the Boston Red Sox fall to the Damn Yankees. I feel your pain! wonderful photos of Germany |
| 8th July 2006 Barbara Beury | Some of our favorite things - From: The South West adventure Glad you got to Devon and Cornwell by car. We did that trip several years ago with Bev and a friend of hers. We had severasl serendipitous experiences and decided the area was quite magic for us. We are really enjoying traveling along with you and reliving our experiences in the same places. Thanks for the post card from London. Meko sends his love. |
| 8th July 2006 Arthur & Helen | Thanks! - From: The South West adventure Hi there Merryn Great to receive your Blog comments and pics; sorry the replies have been a bit 'thin'. Your trip sounds fantastic and we also enjoy the photos, especially the one of the boats at Dartmouth (a bit different to Vuda!). We look forward to receiving more, and thanks for including us. Love, Arthur, Helen, Simone and family. |
| 8th July 2006 Jürgen | soccer - From: Merryn does St Merryn I hope you loved the soccer match beetween Germany and Argentina ;) |
| 6th July 2006 B + H +o | Fawlty Sowers - From: Merryn does St Merryn Doing a great job Merryn. It seems you are whizzing all over the place! Great to read the blog as we wait for the new arrivals. (1 month to go). BM |
| 6th July 2006 Cathy | You go girl - From: Merryn does St Merryn Meeting locals makes any trip - keep it up ! PS I was weak in that i had 1/2 a pint to everyone elses pint and I still had shocking hangovers |
| 29th June 2006 Penny | Finally in contact! - From: Merryn, Liz and Phil take on Royal Ascot Hi Merryn, We are thoroughly enjoying reading about your travels and adventures. I am sending this from the farm as we are still not yet connected at home. Thanks for the postcard, Tim is following your travels and asks regularly where is Merryn now! Keep having fun and take care. |
| 28th June 2006 mary dreger | WONDERFUL - From: Merryn, Liz and Phil take on Royal Ascot yo Merryn We're just back from a week in Las Vegas, followed by a week in Denver. Great to get your message and photo from London. There's a song in My Fair Lady about the Ascot - never know what it meant until now! It was THE PLACE to determine if Liza had learned enough of the British social graces to "pass" for royalty. I see why. |
| 25th June 2006 Randy Sinisi | Vicariously enjoying your travels - From: Merryn, Liz and Phil take on Royal Ascot A hot humid night in Cairo with a slow internet connection did not keep me from again vicariously enjoying your travels. I love seeing your sense of adventure and ability to drop into the local cuture - be it the wealthy race horse owners or the Spainish villagers. I am in Egypt to supervise stamping the American high school diplomas and meet with the Ministry of Education officials. I'll be home in Denver in time for the American 4th of July celebration and to think of Joe on his 5th of July birthday. Thank you for sharing your travel journal and pictures with us. |
| 25th June 2006 Dave | Swish - From: Merryn, Liz and Phil take on Royal Ascot Very swish sounding Merryn. I hope you got shattered and threw up on a prince's shoes, just to show them how a day at the races is done properly in Oz ... |
| 21st June 2006 Matty B | All Caught Up... - From: Aussie World Cup fever in Barcelona and much other stuff too...... Hey Mez, I have just caught up with your travels. For some reason... most probably ISB... yesterday was the first 'new update' email that actually made it through to me! And here was me thinking you were just not writing any!! All sounds very exciting and you are going along swimmingly. And yes... glad to hear you belted out your rendition of Brooklyn Bridge! |
| 20th June 2006 Kate Umbers | G'day from Moggs - From: Aussie World Cup fever in Barcelona and much other stuff too...... Hi Merryn, Julie just put me onto your site today. so I've just spent the last 30 mins catching up on your awesome travels. Feeling insanely jealous. We have booked a holiday in Fiji in July, so not all bad. What camera did you buy? Your photos are brilliant. Ross and I want to shop for a digital camera soon. Any recommendations. Will enjo more updates. Love Kate. |
| 13th June 2006 Cathy | Memories&Dreams - From: Magical Morocco indeed Part 1 Hi Merryn Please keep on going to places as mystical and magical as Morroco. It certainly helps me keep my mind off work.... Cathy xo |
| 9th June 2006 mary Dreger | Hey! - From: Algeciras and Gibraltar Great to hear from you. Thought you were lost! I still liked the Gibraltar apes - tame or not. Thanks for the update! Jon and Mary |
| 9th June 2006 Mae | hello wandering traveller - From: Algeciras and Gibraltar Merryn Have been loving the vibrant photos (yes the new camera is doing the trick) and little anecdotes. I am glad that the trip has been as amazing as you were hoping. As my new job has been busy, I've barely made it to any Chinese classes since you left and so we probably will still know about the same amount of hanyu. The others are proudly keeping the flag flying though. Have lots more fun Mae |
| 9th June 2006 Greg Poynter | Bloody thieving tourist-animals - From: Algeciras and Gibraltar A racoon tried to steal a tourist's handbag while I was in a park too. Kinda ruins it a bit to know that they are that un-wild! |
| 9th June 2006 Meg | Gibraltar - From: Algeciras and Gibraltar I got lucky when I was there and met 2 NZ guys who were trying to buy a cannon for their home town (via Hull in UK) and got a guided tour of the battery from the Minster of the Interior (or other such title) including crawling around through tunnels - didn't have to pay anything, got chauffer driven etc. Went diving too, but Morrocco is MUCH more exciting and I figure you are off there next!!! |
| 27th May 2006 Ian | Politically incorrect - From: Hola from Granada & Cordoba Hey Merryn, Glad you having fun. The correct term is "Sex Workers" ..trust me! |
| 26th May 2006 Mary | Aussies in Paris - From: Cheers from Porto.... I sent you an email and forgot to mention that my friend and I got talking to an Aussie couple on the sidewalk on the Champs Elysees in Paris and discovered they grew up in Torquay! Now how small is this world? |
| 26th May 2006 Pam | Ooops, sorry... - From: Hola from Granada & Cordoba Ooops, sorry about the dodgy accommodation recommendation but we don't recall coming across any brothels when we were there - perhaps we were back at the Hostal before the "ladies of the night" came out to trade. I guess it proves that we always immerse ourselves in the local culture and hang out where the locals do whenever we travel! Might be a good idea if you ignore any other accommodation recommendations we've given you??? Cheers from the Sheers. |
| 23rd May 2006 Stalker | Wot no skanks?? - From: Bom dia from Lisbon & Sintra Merryn, you disappoint me. "Custard tarts" was promising, but alas not what I expected. Surely there is Euroskank to report back on? |
| 22nd May 2006 Barbara | Good photos - From: Bom dia from Lisbon & Sintra Seeing your pictures, especially the Monument of Discoveries certainly brought back memories of our trip to Portugal. When we were viewing the Monument, we also saw a preschool class on a field trip. "They were all in uniforms sitting in a circle eating their lunches. Little children are always a delight. And these didn't get in the way of our photos! |
| 22nd May 2006 meg | mmmm porto - From: Cheers from Porto.... drank many a bottle of port in porto! scene of a number of quality hangovers :) still sounds like you are having a terrrrrrrrible time - not! keep the updates coming |
| 21st May 2006 Merryn | Yes I did! - From: Greetings from My Old Kentucky home Sara - less than 2 weeks into the supposed 6 months of trying to avoid my least favorite meat and it has already been consumed. Haven't been near it since! |
| 21st May 2006 Heather and Bernie | Ah Madrid! - From: One day in Madrid Loved Madrid too. The Prado was a high light and must if you get time. We have a Velazquez (don't forget to make your z's sound like s's) which takes pride on our walls it's the Royal family portrait. They do this excellent thing of making a print actually look like an oil painting. Enjoying the blogs. Wow what a trip of life time! |
| 19th May 2006 Geo & Barb Beury | Good wishes - From: One day in Madrid Merryn, Seems you are having a wonderful time. We're sure the Prado was on your Madrid to do list. The "black Goyas" are spectacular. Best wishes for you conntinued travels. |
| 18th May 2006 Kerrie | Hi from Sunny Geelong - From: New York, New York....it's a wonderful town Well we did have 2 days of sunshine, and it's gone again. Your trip sounds fantastic, after your comments on Kentucky, I bet your folks are hoping you don't win Tatts! We're all good, have booked a holiday to Qld in July for 11 days, having a meeting at SJOG today to see if they will take Finlay for that time. Very much looking forward to the break. Thank you very much for my B'day card - nice surprise! Brendan got tickets to the Lion King final show for my b'day (June4) can't wait. Vicki's 40th b'day party next weekend on the tramcar, that should be really good also. Finlay is going well, vey active now, rolling around etc & developing a very determined personality! B & C are both well, got to go, love all your messages, Kerrie |
| 17th May 2006 meg | random selection - From: New York, New York....it's a wonderful town I'm glad it's not just me ... I get picked at EVERY airport for drug/explosives checks and they tell me it's random! I think it has to do with carrying a back pack. if you just had a handbag, they'd leave you alone. I flew to Perth the other day and ducked back through security to go to the chemist and then got randomly selected a second time on my way back through :) |
| 16th May 2006 Sara | - From: Greetings from My Old Kentucky home You ate pig? |
| 10th May 2006 Stalker | Jealous - From: Greetings from My Old Kentucky home Hey Charlie Glad to hear you're enjoying yourself. On the Kentucky Derby theme, I backed Sasssbee for you in the time honoured Goodwood. You owe me $20. Feel free to provide duty free gift of same value or grab Jessica Simpson's mobile number for me. On that note, how come there's been no skank updates? If you're going to Blog me, at least cover my personal interests. Stalker |

Im in Mexico now and the food is not as great as Joe lead me to believe, bloody yank. Cuba was fab, fell in love(lust) many times with the cuban men and boy can they dance, I even took lessons so that I could shake my butt with the best of them. Have one more week and then I am home, will miss you heaps, keep on having fun...... Cathy xo |
| 5th May 2006 Meg | Terrible - From: Hey from LA It all sounds absolutely awful and I'd hate to be on holidays - NOT! In gig news from home, I got to go to a freebie of Xavier Rudd at the Forum on Sunday night (awesome - full of hippies in dreadlocks "feeling the energy" and the "spirit" so it was very funny too) and am off to see Belle & Sebastian on the long weekend. After my Vietnam trip I have nooooo money so may have to stay home and drink my wine. Keep the blogs coming! |

Here is her message to you. Take care and be happy. Simon... "Hi Sweet, guess you're well and truly into the swing of travelling, it gets addictive after a while. At least the weather in LA is better than in Melbourne. Have you seen all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Bld? Glad you enjoyed Fiji. It's been years since I've seen Helen and Arthur.

Francine has Laryngitis and has lost her voice (but is smiling), the dogs are cute but noisy and I'm busy working on Album #2 and also helping some vocalists with their albums. I promise that I'll get Francine to an internet cafe and will show her how to write you an email in the near future. Hope that the Snapper tasted nice. Simon Imagin |
