                    <title>Stopover in Dubai.</title>
                    <description>Friday 20th July 2012Our flight into Dubai went smoothly a nice meal and a couple of drinks relaxed us and on arrival we went quickly through passport control and collected our bags. All was quiet as it was the first day of Ramadan.Entering the arrivals area there was no sign of our expected driver with a name card. We never organise transfers so it is just typical that the one time we have it ha</description>

                    <description>Thursday 19th July 2012 The first thing we did this morning was to go looking for somewhere else to have our breakfast the hotel39s not being anything to write home about. After spending half an hour walking up and down the mall we came to the realisation that Bulgarians do not have breakfast not even MacDonalds Anyone sitting at a cafe was drinking one of those very small cups of coffee and</description>

                    <description>Tuesday 17th July 2012After a quick breakfast we made our way down to the bus station just down the road and caught the 0900 bus to Burgas. The bus was almost empty when we left but as we travelled along Sunny Beach we picked up many passengers including some young tourists from Britain. They had just spent a fortnight there staying at one of the parent39s holiday apartments. Just a quick flig</description>

                    <description>Saturday 14th July 2012Nice easy morning breakfast for what it was worth across the road at the cafe then back to pack and do a few last minute things. Judy has assignments in for marking and is trying to mark at least 6day. This isn39t easy as they take a minimum of 30 minutes each and she has over 100 to do.We caught the local bus to the bus station next to the Grand Mall getting there wi</description>

                    <description>Wednesday 11th July 2012 We were off at 0830 our bus to Varna leaving the terminal at 0915. We ordered a taxi through the hotel and to our surprise they paid the fare. We have nothing but praise for the Arena Tarnovo Hotel clean rooms friendly staff and they try to be as helpful as they can.The bus trip took about 30 mins longer than the expected 3 hour trip but this was because there seemed </description>

                    <description>Sunday 8th July 2012We39re off again After an early breakfast we took the second taxi of this trip to the bus station where we boarded the 0800 bus to Veliko Tarnovo. The main attraction for this town is a castle and the Old Town area and the helpful tourist information office in Ruse said this was not to be missed.Two hours later we arrived at the VT bus station and after retrieving our bagga</description>

                    <description>Wednesday 4th July 2012 We tried to use a taxi today for the first time to get us to the Metro in Pipera but to no avail. The first company didn39t answer their phone the second had an engaged tone whenever we rang. No worry it wasn39t hot yet so we walked to the corner for the bus which arrived with only 2 others aboard so no problems with our bags.The train to Rousse our first stop i</description>

                    <description>Friday 29th June 2012Mostly a smooth day we had our breakfast checked out of the hotel walked to the bus terminal in town where we caught a bus to the station. When we went to buy our ticket we found our desired train was full Woops should have bought the ticket yesterday. Never mind the next train was only an hour later. We found a quite spot upstairs where Rags read and Judy perused some st</description>

                    <description>Tuesday 26th June 2012We had an early start as we woke up at 0630 giving Judy a chance to do her OUA work before breakfast. The weather was cool it having rained during the night. We left the apartment at 0930 catching the local maxitaxi the Metro and being at the Central station with plenty of time before our IC train to Brasov.Here we bought some sandwiches and a piece of pie to tide us over</description>

                    <description>Wednesday 20th June 2012The alarm had us up and about by 0415 giving us time to get dressed and do our last bit of packing before meeting the taxi downstairs at 0445. We were at the airport just after 0500 and even though there were long lines at the departure area we passed through very quickly. For once we were at an airport where they not only had lots of scanning machines and immigration booth</description>

                    <description>Thursday 14th June 2012We were off before 0700 both of us waking before the 0615 alarm. Actually neither of us slept that well finding it hard to sleep and then waking expecting the alarm to go. This happens when we have an early departure.As it was the tram was just coming the train was about to leave and we ended up at the airport so early they hadn39t even assigned a gate for our flight</description>

Fred and Lorraine arrived soon after and right on 0758 the train departed for Oslo.The first section wasn39t very interesting in that we only caught glimpses of the river lakes and valleys</description>

                    <description>Wednesday 6th June 2012 This morning we reached the halfway point of our cruise with many passengers getting off and a new crowd ready to move in. Kirkenes has little more than this to offer the tourist we finding it a very drab and uninteresting town.The lack of interesting architecture is due to the town being completely destroyed during WW2 probably because as continues now iron ore is mined </description>

We walked around the old buildings near the YMCA and then came across the entrance of the funicular train a long line of people waiting. Rags hates wait</description>

                    <description>Tuesday 22nd May 2012 Three of the guys took off at 0800 after planning their own route. They caught a ferry to the other side of the Ijsselmeer. Then rode north to the Afsluitdijk the main dyke which cuts off the North Sea and is the first ocean defence for the Netherlands. The others continued on the ride planned for the day and the two groups would meet up in Den Oever. Since the distance for</description>

                    <description>Saturday 19th May 2012We spent the morning on the boat leaving some of the others to cycle into Amsterdam. As we travelled through the Amsterdam we spent our time getting the blog up to date and generally giving our bodies a rest.On our return to Amsterdam where we moored close to where we were when we departed we set off to the Jordaan area which is now considered to be a bit of a yuppee area</description>

                    <description>Sunday 13th May 2012Judy was up and about by 0500 and Rags followed about an hour later. The morning was spent organising our clothing so that we only had to take one suitcase with us on the barge followed by tidying up the house.We left at about midday catching a tram to the Central Station from where we walked the kilometre or so to the dock area where the Elodie was moored. Here we caug</description>

Because of all the things going on in our life recently what with a wedding Rags39 medical condition and Judy39s university tutoring position we aren39t as excited as we normally are. This we39re sure will change as we get further into it. The day started with a bit of luxury our fri</description>

                    <description>Friday 2nd September 2011We got away at about 8.30am the van and car combination looking great. Because we had to keep our speed down to 80kph for the next 800kms we expected to put in a long day as we wanted to be near the WA border to meet our friends Jan and Brett for lunch tomorrow.Because of the larger fuel tank 90 litres we now have a much greater range even so we stopped at Katherine </description>

                    <description>Tuesday 23rd August 2011We had a great night39s sleep at the airfield which was several kilometres from the road with noone near us. However at about 3am Rags woke and the thought of being so far from help and the fact the Jeep hadn39t been too reliable kept him awake for some time. Not to worry after breakfast the car started first kick and we were on our way to Mataranka by 7.30am.We ar</description>
