We booked all of our guides, and most of the individual country trips, through Travel Companies. There is some security in this as they know who to deal with. For the most part we have been very happy with our guides in every location except a few. We did most of the bookings on-line and checked with several companies for price and "what's included" before choosing one. Look very carefully at the itineraries and when you are with the guide. We went with mostly "Private" tours. Us and a guide and driver or Driver / Guide. We did have a few small group tours ( 6 - 8 passenger bus but no Big buses except for long road trips with no stops for sight seeing etc. Have fun !! It's been quite the adventure for us.

Hiring Guides
How do you get your guides? Do you use an agency? Do you wait until your arrival in a major city to hire a guide? I have enjoyed reading your blogs. You have had a fascinating trip. Thanks for sharing it with the world.

the weather
I think we were lucky because between 13 and 22 june we had some sunny days... the prices for food are HIGH indeed (40eur per person) but was good...we stayed in 3 stars hotel..no complain. We visit some little island (Coco Island, Felicite Island, Sisters Island) but the ocean was terrible ...we were so scared in a little boat... some pictures here: http://picturesfromtravels.blogspot.com/2008/08/la-digue-island-seychelles.html

Victoria Falls
I recently went to Africa for my honeymoon. I saw Victoria Falls from the Zimbabwe side and it was amazing. When you go to Johannesburg try to eat at Boma. It is a traditional African buffet. It was great to ab able to sample all different types of African food. You can check out my trip to Africa on www.baraaza.com, it is a site that I just started using to document my travels and find information about places I am going to. It is still in Beta, but its a cool site. Hope you have fun in Africa. Melissa

Place to visit in Prague
The thing in Prague, that should not be missed in Prague is Petrin Observation Tower, a smaller version of Paris's Eiffel. It is 60m tall, which doesn't seem to be that high. But adding the Petrin hill, which is 318 m high itself! Imagine overlooking the whole of Prague with panoramic view, which is just magnificent. The only thing that it takes 299 step climb to reach the viewing platform. When the weather is good and air is clear you can see the highest peak in the Czech Republic. There is a funicular service, which I really enjoyed too, from Ujezd street in Mala Strana which takes passengers up to the summit of the Petrin hill and the Observation Tower.Prague is good place for tourism actually. I didn't spent that much money and managed to have a really good hotel in the city center booked from www.prague-hotels.org.uk. Prague is the place to be!

Visited Florence
I just returned from a trip to Italy and visited Florence. Too bad that you did not make it to the top of the Duomo. It is a great view. However you can also get a great view from the Tower next to the church and it is easier to climb. Check out my blog for some more information on the places I visited in Italy including Florence, the Chianti Region, Luca and Pisa.

Hi from Andorra
Glad you are enjoying our comments. We will follow you trips as well. We only stayed in the Kyiv in the Ukraine. Stayed at the President Hotel. Rated 4 or 5 star but service wise a good 3 star. Good location and decent rooms. Very good hotel, if you are in Barcelona, was the Hotel D'Icaria. Very good 4 star. Decent location ( not downtown though ) In Madrid we were very comfortable at the Senator Espana. Great rooms and good location. We were at the Vincci Capital in Madrid for a few days but it's not nearly as nice as the Senator Espana. We booked on Expedia and got very good rates. Travel safe. Tom and Alice
