                    <title>Road trippin' USA</title>
                    <description>After our very official welcome to the USA with finger printing and a photograph we felt more like criminals than tourists. LA Airport was not as big as we thought it would be but we were happy to escape without a rubber glove examinationWe gathered our bags together and made our way to the car hire company to pick up our American gas guzzling car which was in fact a small two door car but hey </description>

                    <description>We only had a couple of night stop over in New Zealand as our round the world trip has to fly through Auckland. Not to say we didn't really want to stop there we were just a bit exhausted low on funds and had both already been to New Zealand Jason to Auckland as well. Not to let the opportunity to see something else pass we decided to escape the city and head up to check out the Coromandel Peni</description>

                    <title>Australia mate</title>
                    <description>It was nice to be back on home soil for a while with a whirlwind tour of most of the big island undertaken in the 6 weeks or so we had. Started back in Perth where our travels had all began. Had a great week with Gleeson's the kids having grown up so much since we left almost 2 years prior. Got to enjoy the lovely Perth beaches once again the water is still freezing though and see the demoliti</description>

                    <title>Singapore Stopover</title>
                    <description>By the time we got to Singapore our energy levels were low and our tourist enthusiasm was waning significantly. By now we had been on the road for almost 6months and were very ready to get home to visit family and friends. Subsequently we didn't really do any justice to what Singapore can offer. The humidity was killing us and the place seemed to be just one big shopping centre. Having not worked </description>

                    <description>Our final country on our African adventure. We crossed the border into South Africa from Botswana on yet another long driving day. Had to limit our fluid intake today as toilet stops would be limited to major towns due to the risk of truckjacking We were happy to hold on Drove through some spectacular scenery on our way to Blyde Gorge. Almost remeniscent of driving through Hammersley Range in W</description>

                    <title>Boating in Botswana</title>
                    <description>The debauchery from the previous night in Vic Falls did not leave us in good shape for our first day in Botswana with a 7am departure and all of 2hrs sleep under our belts.  Today was the first day with our new truck and tour leader the other truck would follow a similiar path for a bit but with an extra day up their sleeves for Chobe and the delta and then continue across to Cape town. So after </description>

                    <title>Unbelievable Zimbabwe</title>
                    <description>Unbelievable is the right word to sum up our experience of Zimbabwe for both the right and the wrong reasons. To form a complete opinion on what is going on in Zimbabwe would be crazy considering our VERY brief and limited time and experience of the country. Our time in Zimbabwe was restricted to spending time in the now quite deserted tourist resort of Vic Falls. What we certainly did notice wa</description>

                    <title>Zipping thru Zambia</title>
                    <description>We had a long wait at the border into Zambia and entertained the locals with our attempts to keep ourselves entertained playing charades. We camped the night at a farmhouse campsite and sampled our first Mosi beerthe Zambian original. Two more driving days and many snacks later we arrived at Livingstone just on the Zimbabwian border after a night in Lusaka. Highlights included Zebras wandering </description>

                    <title>Surf's up in land locked Malawi</title>
                    <description>A big driving day which took us via the number one highway through Mkumi National Park. Amazing to be driving on a main highway and passing giraffe and elephants along the way Saw our first impala some baboons and as well as vultures Kirst was lucky enough to spot a Hornbill. Saw lake Malawi for the first time as we arrived at our campsite on the shore at Chitimba Beach. Whilst staying at Chiti</description>

                    <description>Arrived late to the campsite just out of Arusha and put our tents up in the darkinteresting exercise considering wed never put them up before. Had drinks that night in Mas Bar.a rough shack with as much paraphernalia as an outback Aussie pub. Went into town the next morning for money exchange and to buy snacks for the days ahead.something that would contribute to the </description>

                    <description>Kirstyn sat next to Captain Paranoid from Mumbasa and Jas had the reassuring lady off to visit family in Nairobi giving him sound travel advice Dont worry theyll just take your things here. They wont kill you for it like they do in Johanessburg. Great we were due to land in Nairobi in four hours and we had 5000US strapped to our bodies  The que for our visa in Nairobi was horren</description>

                    <title>What the hell happened to our travel blogs</title>
                    <description>We could say that due to some technical error or trouble in cyberspace our travelblogs since last year have been lost but that would be a big lie. Truth is we have been slack and havent been keeping up with entries. Not much of an excuse we know but it works for us. So what have we been up to Lots and it started on our reentry into the UKClancy tells us shes had enough..We entered the </description>

                    <title>Boozy Belgium</title>
                    <description>With the small size of both the Netherlands and Belgium it didnt take too long to go from one capital to the next. We arrived at a camping ground on the outskirts of Brussels out the back of a pub in the town of Beersel. We had arranged to catch up with our Kiwi friends here we saw the infamous van  there but had just missed them. Decided to chill out for the afternoon as the sun had come out</description>

                    <description>Unfortunately with time running out our Dutch experience was limited to a night out and a day in Amsterdam. We really are doing the Contiki tour nowno time to stop and smell the tulips for usWe arrived in Amsterdam early afternoon and checked into a camping ground on the outskirts of the city. The city of Amsterdam is very bikefriendly actually bikes rule the roads really and we found gett</description>

                    <description>After the morning was spent walking in the Bohemian Switzerland National Park we crossed over into Germany and arrived into Dresden in the late afternoon with the alarm buzzing lots With only 200 kms till Berlin we were waiting to get it fixed then. Spent the next morning having a quick look around Dresden. Very cool little city which was pretty much annhilated at the end of WW2 and is still in t</description>

                    <description>Jason crossed the border into Czech in the early morning on route to the ArdspachTemplice Rocks. Spent around 4 hours walking the trails here exploring the impressive rock formations. Arriving back at camp I was told by the very friendly car park attendant that I had left my lights on Fortunately the car started however it decided to buzz immediately when I tried to leave. Hoping the diesel on t</description>

                    <title>Popping into Poland</title>
                    <description>After an early departure from camp I drove the short distance through the mountains to the Polish border crossing over along the foggy and somewhat dodgy roads. Descended back down arriving at the very touristy town of Zakopane by mid morning. The weather was still crap with the mountains draped in clouds so I decided to forgo the somewhat expensive gondola trip to the top  given the lack of vie</description>

                    <title>Solo in Slovakia</title>
                    <description>After getting horribly lost trying to drop Kirstyn  off at the airport in Vienna I hit the road to Slovakia with renewed fear and doubt about travelling the lesser developed Eastern European countries on my own. Crossed the border uneventfully and managed to find a servo selling the motorway vignettes. First hurdle down did a relatively big drive up into central Slovakia dropping in at the small</description>

                    <title>Not Hungry in Hungary bad pun intended</title>
                    <description> On the drive across from Slovenia we saw a significant difference between the two countries the Hungarian landscape flattening out into broad farming lands and there seemed to be much less wealth in the villages. As the previous blog explained the drive took a little longer than planned so we arrived in the dark at the caravan park in Heviz.With the cute instructions of the old man guarding th</description>

                    <title>Serene Slovenia </title>
                    <description>We had an eventful last journey through Italy from Venice to the border with the oil pressure lamp finding a new lease and going off like mad. Bit the bullet and pulled up to have a look Jason had a new theory that the leaking diesel was the cause of the malfunction. Wiped down the wires and contacts and continued on without another word Arrived in Bled at the picturesque lake late afternoon </description>
