Friday November 28, 2008 I deliberately didn’t do a lot today after my big one yesterday. It probably took most of the morning to write the previous bloody day up anyway. For most of the arvo I divided my time between the net café trying to upload yesterdays video and my bed catching an awesome poppy nap. Pretty boring hey and that was just what I was after. I spoke to Tezza in the earlier evening and was just about to hang up anyway when my call waiting beeps started. “OK baby, I’ll catch ya later. Much love… mwah” I said [View Full Entry]

I'm still waiting on my Youtube upload of yesterdays video and am very bored. Just for some fun I wanted to share my blog statistics with you all. You will notice that the clear winner of all my entries is the "Dili Dally Rally" entry. It has by far the largest number of views in any one month. Second would have to be the "Be Warned Strong Language" entry with a huge lead on overall views so far. Now this is interesting to me because I believe it tells me something about you all. A bit partial to nudity and crass [View Full Entry]

Thursday November 27, 2008 Today was not boring. I still have brains on my shoe, I swear! I’ve been lost and very nearly ran out of fuel in one of the rural areas surrounding Dili. I had a Machete swung at me by a kid who…… That’s as far as I got into today’s events on my first attempt. No sooner had I typed in the word ‘who’ than my phone began to ring. I answered immediately because I had good reason to. “Hello,” it was my very newest friend Emmanuelle, “found mister.” I could have cart wheeled the whole way [View Full Entry]

Tuesday November 25, 2008 It’s raining cats and dogs as I write this entry, sitting on the front veranda area at City Café. Ok so there are no little fur balls named Fido, Rover, Socks and Tabby falling from the sky, just great heavy sheets of water that are cascading off roofs and quickly filling the streets. The wet is not a furious storm such as the ones I have imagined hitting Brisbane of late but rather a steady, determine effort by nature to unload as much water as possible on the little town of Dili. It’s cooled down a lot [View Full Entry]

Hi guys. I have been trying for a while to get videos up and hosted on this travel blog with only some success, so in the end I have placed them on Youtube. Here are the links: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqD8kO5homs - A walk through Dili with Downplay cranked. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQyAAVdGwEo - The voicemail I got from Tez and Ambz when I was in Townsville. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fG-6c-0idkc - Sunset from East Point in Darwin with dodgy commentary. Hopefully I will be able to work out my technical difficulties in the near future and embed them properly into [View Full Entry]

Saturday November 22, 2008 I have just realised that tomorrow will mark the end of my 1st month on the road. Time has become very elastic I must confess. I’m not sure how long it feels since I left home to me, at times much longer and at others severely less than the month my diary is telling me. Today is an excellent example because although I didn’t do anything of real note I soon found myself yawning over an empty dinner plate, paying my bill (did I really drink 5 tallies?) and dragging my heavy feet off to my room [View Full Entry]

Friday November 21, 2008 This will not be a big entry kids.. my head is still making funny drum like noises in co-ordination with my heartbeat.. booom boom, booom boom. I could not find my painkillers this morning, maybe I left them on Jeff’s boat but either way it meant I was off, first up, to find a pharmacist and try and explain what I wanted. I found the correct store but everything is in Indonesian and the nice fella, who was serving, despite our combined best efforts, could not understand my requests. He did find my mimes of my nights [View Full Entry]

Thursday November 20, 2008 I slept in a bit this morning and feel I have now properly recuperated from my rest deprived sailing voyage. I’m still peeling from all the sun exposure though, damn my pasty white complexion! When I hit the café downstairs Lauran had several other peoples I-pods for me to load up and even had a list of requests for songs. Thankfully Azzamates Cheesy Hits have most of the songs covered. I’ll hopefully download the others when I hit the Net Café for research after breakfast. Does anyone know who it is that sings that ‘Too late to [View Full Entry]

Wednesday November 19, 2008 I found it a bit harder to crash last night. After a full day of writing I couldn’t shut my brain down. It was still composing and revising well after I told it to go to sleep. Stubborn bastard of a thing that it is! It’s a lot hotter in Dili again today but I just hung out at City Café and finished tidying up my blogs while I sipped on coffee and had a small breakfast. Eventually I was satisfied I had all the text and photo’s in order and went to a different Internet café [View Full Entry]

Monday November 10, 2008 (This part of my story will be called the Dili Dally Rally for reasons that should become apparent later on. We left Darwin hoping to go straight to Bali via a quick recoup at Ashmore Reef but prevailing weather meant our only hope of actually getting anywhere was to head much farther north than we anticipated. I don’t want to get ahead of myself so how about we get back to the regular entry? Cool with you all?? Tough luck if it isn’t! hahaha) What a shit sleep! My bunk in the V-berth is wet with sweat.
