| 28th September 2006 Victor | Bucharest Budapest - From: Tear down the wall hello Tom - nice travel report you wrote about Budapest. Just two small points - 1.

| 28th January 2006 hugh | toilet flushing solved! - From: Guns and money Sorry mate the coriolis does not effect the way water flows down a drain. Coriolis is a gravitational effect which only causes motion on the levels of clouds in the atmosphere. You can make water drain either way, it is due to the initial imperfections in the drain. The place you went was a scam. |

| 10th January 2006 janke8 | maybe you can help me - From: An altitude induced mishap My sister and I are flying from Miami to my daughters and son-in-laws tennis resort in Vichayito on the beach south of of Mancora. North of Los Organos. We are in out 50's but adventurous. My daughter suggested we fly into Lima and then take a flight from Lima to a National Airport called Piura. Their place is near there. We are considering flying to Guayaquil and taking some kind of transportation to their place which according to the internet will be 318 miles. There isn't much info on this being as you have been there you can tell us what you think is best. Thanks and keep on keeping on, I enjoyed your epidodes...!!! |
