                    <title>Hell Train to Hue </title>
                    <description>Welcome to my nightmares. This particular nightmare takes place on the night train from Ha Noi to Hue. I get to the train station in Ha Noi an hour before the train is due. A train pulls in just as I arrive. But where is it going I can39t quite figure it out so I just give my ticket to the conductor and he lets me on. Must be right then. My ticket has number 22 on it my birthday number and al</description>

                    <title>A Day Trip to Ha Long Bay</title>
                    <description>When I stepped out of the airport in Ha Noi it was cold. So cold in fact that for the first time in a long time I was able to see my breath. Apparently it had been like this for a while it knew I was coming and the severe rain had been cancelling many trips to Ha Long Bay. The day that I had booked however was the first sunny day in five days when does that ever happen so it was going to </description>

                    <title>Learning how to cross the road in Hanoi</title>
                    <description>Some tips I picked up... Firstly watch out and be alert everywhere. Nowhere is off limits and in addition to pavements and pedestrian crossings I found myself face to face with a scooter in an open shop entrance. If you stumble across a pedestrian or 39walking39 street be aware that it39s not just for pedestrians and scooters are also allowed to race down these often narrow streets inc</description>

                    <title>Vietnam is like Marmite</title>
                    <description>You either love it or you hate it. And unfortunately for me I'm going with the latter. I know that it's difficult and a little unfair to judge a place in such a small amount of time but almost the entire time was there I didn't want to be. Vietnam is LOUD The traffic the people the kids the music. If you like constant noise and people shouting directly in your ear or taking the night train w</description>

                    <title>Sukhothai  Strange Place</title>
                    <description>What a bizarre little city this is. I can't make my mind up how I feel about the place. It was the first capital city of Thailand and not too many touristtravellers make a stop here. Although at least for the experience if not the incredible ruins they should. Last night I took a walk into the old city and it became obvious just how few people actually do stop in Sukhothai. Everyone and I mea</description>

                    <title>Learning to cook... like a Thai vegetarian</title>
                    <description>I realise that I haven39t been in Asia very long but this has already been one of my favourite days and I say that typing this up a couple of weeks on. I was collected from my guesthouse at the reasonable time of 9.30am and driven to a local market to learn about local ingredients and just have a general browse around. There were lots of foods that I39ve never laid eyes on before so it was</description>

                    <description>I have arrived And due to a sore throat that I'd caught from a dorm full of coughing Norwegians in Oz that had manifested into a throat infection that made me vomit every 30 seconds I had spent my first two days in bed. The poor pharmacist didn't know what to do with me when I turned up telling her that I'm allergic to almost all antibiotics but she somehow managed to find one that she didn't th</description>

                    <title>The End of an Australian Era </title>
                    <description>You may have noticed that I'm not in New Zealand as I'm supposed to be. Unfortunately due to yet another earthquake on my journey I was unable to go. I was offered a reroute to Auckland I was originally going to Christchurch two days after the earthquake but my schedule was so tight in NZ that there wasn't really a way that I could do it. I'm still itching to get there and hopefully one day i</description>

                    <title>Kangaroo Island Day Two </title>
                    <description>Somehow I managed to wake up an hour before everyone else so I was showered and ready to go before anyone else stirred so I went for a walk. Where did the kangaroos go To wherever it is they go to sleep during the day I guess. I returned to find Dave making banana pancakes  seriously amazing So after filling up on breakfast it was almost time to leave but first it was washing up time so I too</description>

                    <title>Kangaroo Island Day One </title>
                    <description>Picked up nice and early at 6.05am after buying my water from a guy who was convinced that I'm German and we made our way to the ferry via a bakery in a random Australian Village. Pretty soon we had set foot on Kangaroo Island and my first thought was 'wow it's cold.' Not cold like at home but still pretty chilly for OzWe drove a little way and began our day with a hike up Prospect Hill. Just</description>

                    <description>Last day in Tassie and we drove up 30 minutes to Bonorong Wildlife Park. On entry they gave us a bag of food to go handfeed the kangaroos with. You walk around the corner and there sprawled just about everywhere with an amazing hilly backdrop were every size of kangaroo imaginable. Some jumping around others being fed and my favourites the ones lying on their sides looking like they were mi</description>

                    <description>Today we rented a car don't rent from Budget they're awful and firstly drove it up Mount Wellington. I hadn't driven for over a year but I was surprised at how naturally it came back So naturally in fact that I kept trying to change gear in an automatic The views all the way up the mountain were amazing although admittedly I only really saw them in my wing mirror. When we arrived at the top</description>

                    <title>Ghost Stories </title>
                    <description>This afternoon we were picked up for the long way round to Port Arthur  the site of an infamous prison feared by convicts Australia wide. Our first stop en route was the historic town of Richmond. Normally I use the word 'historic' lightly in Australia but Tassie was the second place the Europeans settled after Sydney and genuinely does have some pretty cool history. We visited an old house whi</description>

                    <title>First day in Tassie </title>
                    <description>First stop Hobart. We arrived in the evening just before sunset and my verdict so far was that Tasmania was more than beautiful. I always think that if the drive from the airport is impressive then good things are likely to be ahead. We  checked into our hostel and took a stroll down to the Salamanca area where everything was happening. This was clearly where Hobart came alive in the evenings. Tas</description>

                    <description>Sarah and I caught the luxurious Murray's coach  to flashpack down to the nation's capital Canberra for the weekend. The journey went quickly and before long Sarah had set me a 45 minute Canberra related pun challenge. Being a pun genius this took all of three minutes and after five minutes Sarah's cringes told me to stop. We arrived in Canberra and were met by Natassja a friendly Canberra gir</description>

                    <title>Kiama</title>
                    <description>Just 2 and a half hours on the train down from Sydney and you'll reach the coastal town of Kiama. I hopped of the train and immediately headed towards the famous... blow hole to discover that today  on this very rare occasion it had decided it didn't want to blow. Well that was pretty much the reason I'd gone down to Kiama so what next I walked around the town which is fairly old by Australian </description>

Just a 2 and a half hour train journey from Sydney and you arrive in what feels like another world. Little Newcastle with its laidback atmosphere beautiful beaches and quirky cafs and shops.

                    <title>Journey back to Perth via the Margaret River and a cheese factory</title>
                    <description>First stop today was Cape Leewin where the proud tallest mainland lighthouse keeps watch over the meeting point of the Southern and Indian Oceans. After watching the dolphins splash around we began the journey back to Perth with many stops along the way. From Cape Leewin and on to the Margaret River region packed to the brim with what have to be some of the world's most beautiful bright beache</description>

                    <description>This morning Brendo took us to a secret beach with no name. Sorry I can't be more specific but if you fancy a visit... it's somewhere near the Gap not the shop.We took a walk over to the Blowhole where the sea shoots up between the rocks but it wasn't blowing today. Just tricking us by making incredibly loud noises just like it would make if it was blowing. A little while later and we were at</description>
