.................like my toast done on one side!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im an ingrish man in New York. The last one ever, you losers will never have to hear from me again, woo hoo! Only joking i am quite gutted actually that its all over now. Unfortunatley theres not much to tell you guys about New York as i really only spent one day there. I arrived in Newark at about 1 am only to find that the super shuttle service that i had pre-booked and paid for could not pick me up until 4.30-5 am, bollocks to that! so i ended up getting a cab for $60 with this wiseguy fella into Manhattan. He was pretty cool he took me through Frank Sinatra town, where they filmed the sopranos and gave me a brief guided tour whilst driving ... read more
Buenas dias Amigos, So i have been in Mexico for the last leg of the trip, first stop Cancun (bare with me while typing this as the bloody "w" and "e" on they keyboard hardly work), not much to tell about Cancun really its geared up for American tourists when they are on spring break, so its mainly lounging by the pool or on the beach and drinking shitloads, so was pretty dam good although i did manage to burn my armpits in the sun, ow! Went downtown to mingle with the locals but theres not much to see to be honest, plus there is the hole language barrier, hardly anyon speaks english, i did manage to pick up some Cuban cigars though and got quite a good deal on them, so i will look ... read more
Ok, where the hell do i start with this travel blog, i'm in Cancun, Mexico at the minute checked into a four star hotel because i got an amzing deal for 30quid a night all inclusive which has unlimited booze, ive had 4 beers before writing this so bare with me. So US and A where to begin, well after leaving the Cook Islands i must say i was slightly nervous about flying into the states as i had heard some real horror stories about customs giving you grief, but to my suprise it wasnt that bad, although my Customs officer was a bit of a tw$t! A couple went through before me and were missing one form so this guy shouts out to his buddy "hey flash!, you got one of those green forms ... read more
Well i might struggle with this travel blog as i have not done a lot whilst on the Cook Islands, kind of lazed around quite a bit just soaking up the sun, going swimming/snorkelling looking at lovely ladies on the beach. The first 6 days were absolute pants it did nothing but rain, and when it rains in the Cook Islands there's not much to do apart sit around and read your book, pretty excited stuff! The sun finally did come out though and with the beach right on the doorstep i took full advantage of it, the snorkelling is pretty cool round there although the same thing happened again where a fish decide to take a dump right in front my mask the little bastard! there are also these stripey fish that are a ... read more
The journey continues............ After Franz Josef we headed north to Nelson for some chill out time and in preperation fot St Patricks day i wanted to be somewhere fairly busy (Franz Josef has a population of about 4000), Nelson was slightly dissapointing as no one was bloody out for Paddys day, even the bar staff were saying how quiet it was bloomin typical!!!! We decided to get out of Nelson fairly quickly and headed to Kaikoura where........ yes i know i keep harping on about it but finally got to go swimming with dolphins and also did some whale watching and i'm not just talking about sitting in McDonalds car park watching a load of fat birds tuck into a Big Mac. The dolphin swimming was absolue quality, there were about 3 pods of dolphins ... read more
New Zealand fookin Rocks! been here for just under three weeks now and i absolutley love it, if i could buy a holiday home anywhere it would be here. Landed in Christchurch on 28th Feb, and would you believe it they have a cathedral there which has items in there that belong to Canterbury Cathedral in Kent. Anyhoo spent a few a days in Christchurch just chilling out in the city havin a few drinky poos and doing some shopping, hired a car to travel around the south island aswell, got a nice Hyundai which is a few years old, this baby has got some accelaration, have to put it in 2nd gear to make it over a speed bump, also tend to get a bit of burning smell when you drive a bit too fast ... read more
Feeb!!!!!! Tis that time again, well I’ve been heading up the east coast up through Newcastle to the first stop Port Stephens, very nice place, but very expensive. We booked up a trip to go out on a sailing boat which involves Dolphin watching, snorkelling (with a load of jelly fish) and a trip around some of the local islands, we did manage to see some dolphins but they were that far away i could'nt get a decent picture, never mind I’m sure i will get some decent photo's when i get to New Zealand and go in the water with them. Oh yeah and i also look like a bit of a mincer standing on the front of the boat just before you all start laying into me you bunch of beeeeeeeeeeeeeps!!!! So after Port ... read more
Well Landed in Sydney on 29th December and managed to hook up with a couple of kiwi's that we met in Vietnam that sorted us out a house in Manly, (so thanks to Dwayne, Michelle, Fred and Tonia) had a wicked New Year, found a spot just inbetween the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge ready for the fireworks, drank a bit too much (about a litre of Vodka and coke, hic!) then after the fireworks went back to Manly to a house party, everyone was completley spaced out, one guy reminded me of the bloke in Waynes World that keeps walking round saying "man i really love you, no no no you dont understand i really love you man" to every single person, apart from that best New Years i have ever had. Spent the ... read more
Well i have spent just over a week in Cambodia, first stop was Phnom Penh, did the usual visits S-21 where Pol Pot prisoned and torchered people, the killing fields where the mass graves are and also did another shooting range. S-21 is quite eerie, you can walk into the converted classrooms/prison rooms and they have a bed in the middle of the room with iron restraints on the bed and if you look on the wall there is a photo of the person that was found dead next to where you stand. The killing fields where the people from S-21 were executed and buried are quite sureal aswell, not many people were talking after we left the site, leaves a lump your throat. Cow blowing up time!!! ................. only joking before anyone starts, when you ... read more
