We started off with the Pyramids and Sphinx weaving our way through the traffic in our van quite amazingly. Two lanes become four and therersquos only ever centimeters between cars. We took http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Egypt/blog-338554.html Well hi allWe have just arrived in Egypt today which is completely different to anywhere else we have been on this trip but we thought we would catch you up on a few things since we last did a blog back in Austria. Seems such a long time agoSince then we've been skiing on the Hintertux Glacier. That was an experience let's put it that way. It definitely wasn't a slope for beginners and as http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/blog-335123.html Well hi all againGlad to hear everyone back home seems to be fit and well. Well we have been a bit all over the place doing lots of different things since we last did a blog. We left Italy and headed across to Nice in France and explored the coastline there. Went to Monaco which is ultra rich filled with big expensive boats skyscrapers which is unique over here and of course Ferraris. We http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/blog-329720.html Well hi all. We have finally got around to doing a blog so we can share some our experiences with you from the last couple of weeks. And we have certainly had our share of ups and downs during this time. Here's what we've been up to. It all started all happy and smiles in Tarifa with a beautiful sunset and relaxing evening of dinner and drinks. The next morning things were to change. Dave aw http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/blog-324684.html Hi allWell get ready for a big blog. Our free internet connection is working great guns today so we decided to make the most of it and catch up on the last couple of weeks.After leaving Deb and Bruce we headed across to Switzerland we are going back there in September. Headed to Bern for a bit of a relax except for that bike ride then it was off to Geneva on the train. Our flight to Barcel http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Spain/blog-318608.html Hi all Just putting a couple more photos on from the trip with Bruce and Deb. We finally found a semidecent internet connection in our hostel in Tarifa down the bottom of Spain. Thanks again for the comments we have got from people. Nice to know who is staying in touch with what were up to. Loved the comment from Ava Belinda. You said she was advanced but we had no idea she could use a compu http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/France/blog-318269.html Hi all it is Daves turn for the blog. I think im a lot more mature than Zoe and wont bag my travel partner for the whole blog. I will take the high road.Well where to start We finally made it to Bordeaux after a 10 hour bus trip to Paris and a 3 hour train ride down to Bordeaux to meet the parents all worth it. They had the car ready to go very impressed. They even got a free upgrade which i http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/France/blog-317496.html Hi FolksWell it's Zoe doing this blog as Dave is off doing the washing and isn't very happy about it but who would be really. Convinced him we will swap next time...maybe. Had some good luck this week when the camera broke because Zoe dropped it I thought it was shockproof yep right and then got strawberries all over it which probably didn't help especially after getting chocolate on it http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/blog-309848.html Hi allWell it hasn't been long since we did our last blog but we had a spare day and we found a cheap internet cafe 50 cents per half hour so we are making the most of it and doing another quick blog.We are in Salzburg in Austria at the moment and it is 30 degrees each day so it's nice and warm. We will put up photos of Salzburg on another blog as we are going to the lakes tomorrow which are s http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/blog-307470.html Hi allWell we have hit the road and are making our way around Western Europe. Been doing the hop on hop off thing with Busabout which has been good but if we thought we were the only Aussies over here we have been sadly mistaken. Everybody is doing it.Started off in Paris with Brendan for a couple of nights but we are going back there with Deb and Bruce Cooper so there will be more of that la http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/blog-304698.html Well well well. It was finally here. The run of a lifetime and the reason Dave's made the trek to Europe. 'The Greatest Bullfighter' as he'd been calling himself was quite nervous to say the least.But before the run was to take place we went to the opening ceremony where we were drenched in Sangria water wine and whatever else people poured on you from the balconies or sprayed at you in http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Spain/Navarre/Pamplona/blog-299122.html Hi allFirst of all thanks to everyone for your comments. We are in Bruges at the moment and thought we had a spare hour or so to do the blog and we loved reading so many people's comments. Sorry to the LKS staff for the photos but you know you loved emSo we've had an exciting start to the trip really. Started in San Sebastian for four nights with Belle Foat where we intended to spend our da http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Spain/Basque-Country/San-Sebastian/blog-299117.html So here's our blog of the fun we had on our last weekend.Dave got a little bit out of hand nice white chest buddy Enjoy http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Ireland/County-Dublin/Dublin/blog-293605.html Hi allWell it's finally come around and gone our last weekend in Dublin. Hectic crazy drinking cleaning organising dancing cuddling babies it's had it all really.We've been here for five months now and it's been great but it's time to move on and see some sunshine without the rain and howling wind that's been quite common here during June booWe both had fun with our work mates o http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Ireland/County-Dublin/Dublin/blog-293597.html Hi allNo photos for obvious reasons but just like to direct you to a link that will give you an idea of what Dave and I did last Saturday morning at 3am it was the funniest thing I've ever done in my life. Bit and pieces everywhere Freezing but soooooo funny and pretty fun. Dave woke up and sculled two beers to get some Dutch courage. The bloke next to Dave also couldn't wait to get hi http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Ireland/County-Dublin/Dublin/blog-290952.html Hi allWell this was our last weekend trip over to England to see a couple of cities and get out of Dublin. Liverpool was fantastic cheap that's what we like and the night life went off. Chester was really cool really old Tudor style houses but they've maintained them so they look unreal.Enjoy the pics. Will put one more entry on with a few shots of Dublin before we leave and then the http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/blog-287643.html Well it's been a while since our last update haven't been up to much just chilling out and saving some cash for the main event. A few months ago we went to Galway so we're catching up on that one. Zoe was the driver this time. I lost a couple of years of my life to many near misses. Na she was very good but the navigating was exceptional yep we had good road signs to follow this time. It http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Ireland/County-Galway/blog-279663.html Hi allWas great to see some familiar faces even if it was the Foxes. Just joking Helen and John. It was so great to see them so happy and full of life. We met John's family and had some great craic down in Blessington on the way to the Wicklow Mountains. Great afternoon and lots of laughing and chatting. And we loved John and Helen coming over because we got some new clothes although Dave http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Ireland/County-Dublin/Dublin/blog-270225.html As you can see this place is renowned for drinking. So Dave has been making the most of that while we've been here.You'll see him sampling many of the different beers available on tap and there's been plenty of occasions where we've forgotten the camera so this is only a short selection of the many drinking sessions. That's why everyone has the dreaded Dublin beer belly over here.CheersP.S. http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Ireland/blog-270217.html Catching up on a blog we didn't get around to a few weeks ago now. Good place.They say pictures say a 1000 words so there's no need for us to ramble on.Stay tuned for the next episode of Dave and Zoe's Adventures. http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/Northern-Ireland/Belfast/blog-270212.html
