In fact I left a home behind... Oh by the way I know by now that in Australia u don't fall off the earth and that you dont even notice that youre living a life headfirst. And I know now that you dont instantly get bitten by venomous spiders and snakes once you step off the plane D hahaThese picture http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/New-South-Wales/Sydney/blog-203601.html The next morning it was time to get up early which means getting up at 830 lol Alex and Eti planned a trip with some people into the negev doing a picknik there and having a good time spending time with brothers and sisters from different congregations. The drive was pretty long and took us about 4 hours till we arrived. I never heard of this place before. It is where Israelis go in spring f http://www.travelblog.org/Middle-East/Israel/Tel-Aviv-District/Tel-Aviv/blog-172482.html As I'm typing these lines I'm lying on the sofa of friends in Tel aviv. Just yesterday I arrived here and I already met a lot of new amazing people. On Friday it was time to leave ar ram. The goodbye was really hard I dont know what happened. 95 of the text I originally typed was lost for some reason. Seems this site had a server crash http://www.travelblog.org/Middle-East/Israel/Tel-Aviv-District/Tel-Aviv/blog-137534.html Even though this time I'm having my laptop with me this time its been so hard to regularly keep up my travel journal as I had hardly any time to put it down.. and the bit time I had I used for taking rest. I've been now for 3 days in ar ram staying with my friends who have been so so lovely and hospitable that I feel really sad when thinking that tomorrow I will leave again. I arrived in Jerusalem http://www.travelblog.org/Middle-East/Israel/West-Bank/Ramallah/blog-130673.html Shalom This is Nicola reporting live from Israel LOL I try to make use as good as possible of the times I spend on transportation for catching up with my travel diary. And here I am travelling on a bus somewhere between Eilat and Jerusalemhellip.Yesterday the weather was beautiful on my arrival in Dahab. Sun plus around 25 degrees. The sea was a little cold but with a slightly strong will its e http://www.travelblog.org/Middle-East/Israel/South-District/Eilat/blog-129983.html As Irsquom typing these lines the greek countryside is passing by 10.000 metres below me and my ipod is playing some nigerian reaggae music. Oh yeah this is the real vacation feeling Oops the flight is a bit shaky I better donrsquot order any more drinks otherwise I will bathe myself and my laptop in coffee. LOL I just had some breakfast and now itrsquos only 2 more hours till Irsquom http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Egypt/Sinai/Dahab/blog-129982.html LOL I think I'm about to go crazy. I am home and still havent packed anything and since last night I had several phonecalls with people and it seems like my travel plans change every hour. Over the past 3 hours there were 3 different plans and now I'm waiting what will happen over the next hour LOL All I know is that I will arrive in sharm el sheikh tomorrow at noon will go to dahab and leav http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Germany/Hessen/Frankfurt/blog-127840.html today is an incredible day. Not because anything really big happened today but now I really feel like time is racing and so soon I will be on the plane travelling with highspeed towards my beloved egyptMid. east and my dear friends I will meet there I've just been scrolling through previous entries I made on this site especially the ones I wrote before I travelled to the middle east the first http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Germany/Hessen/Frankfurt/blog-126675.html The day I met Mary was a usual warm middle eastern summer day. The air was dusty even though the sky was dark blue competing with the intense yellowbrown of the sunscorched palestinian scenery. I didn't sleep too long that long morning since the Mu'azzin summoned muslim residents of the old city to start the day with the obligatory salAt the morning prayer which usually starts before dawn. After http://www.travelblog.org/Middle-East/Israel/West-Bank/blog-90455.html Here i am finally to update my online travel blog. I havent had that many opportunities so far to go online besides two short drop bys. I arrived on the 23th April in PhoenixArizona at 1700 after a long 14.5 hour trip.

We spent some great time together.Return from Cairo yesterday lots of trouble with buse http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Egypt/blog-18664.html Yesterday was a very long day and a crazy onel The morning started with a lovely good morning orchestra at 5am doors were banging cats were fighting violently agro cats lol construction works started in front of my window the muezzin called the believers for the morning prayer the minaret was right in front of my broken window. Time to get ready and to be honest I was quite emotional glad http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Egypt/Lower-Egypt/Cairo/blog-18183.html Hello againi just returned from a loong trip in fact I did 3 things today. My day started with an attempt to walk around the old city on my own until I found out that my lacking sense of orientation lead me into the most remote corners of the city.. just far away from all sights. So in the end I decided to get a travel guide. he took me around town I visited all important and holy places here in http://www.travelblog.org/Middle-East/Israel/Jerusalem-District/Jerusalem/blog-17986.html
