                    <description>UAE  DubaiDubai is an interesting city. There is so much money here it seems they have to find ways to spend it. The society is split into around 3 levels. The locals earn the most money and are gifted a lot including their first house from the government. Westerners come in second earning very good money but nowhere near what the locals do. As a westerner though you do not really have any good</description>

                    <title>Cairo Zambia and Botswana</title>
                    <description>EGYPTWell Cairo was certainly an eye opener. It is the most filthy place  it is hard to believe its residents have such little regard for the place they live. In some of the canals around the city so much rubbish has been thrown in them there is no longer any water. In others they haven39t quite got that far but there are dead horses in them among other things. They city is shrouded in a cloud</description>

                    <title>Spain and Portugal</title>
                    <description>We started our European journey in Madrid Spain. It is a beautiful old city with lots of old architecture and narrow streets sporting little bars and restaurants. We stayed in a little hostel off Plaza del Sol which was the perfect spot to explore the city from. We spent a lot of time walking the streets looking at the churches and old buildings that are dotted around the city. It is an easy cit</description>

                    <title>Mexico Rio de Janeiro and Peru</title>
                    <description>All the places we stayed in Central and South America all had many things in common. The ancient culture in Peru and Mexico is very similar. Rio de Janeiro did not have the same history but had the same feel as the other countries. One of the first things you notice is the presence of police military and security personnel everywhere. These men and women are fully kitted out  truncheons pistols</description>

                    <description>New YorkThis city is exactly like it is depicted on tv. When in your hotel room you can hear the noise of the traffic and the continual beeping of horns. They really love their car horns We stayed in Chinatown for the 4 days we were there and walked or caught the subway everywhere. Luckily New York is relatively flat and laid out in a block formation which makes navigation pretty easy. Our first </description>

                    <title>Quebec</title>
                    <description>We spent nearly three weeks in Quebec in the end while we were trying to sell the Westfalia. This was one of the longer stretches we had stayed in one province and despite the language barrier we loved it.We came into Quebec this time from the east coast and headed for a provincial park called Parc du Bic on the arm of Quebec that reaches up between the St Lawerence river and New Brunswick. It was</description>

                    <title>Newfoundland</title>
                    <description>We are in love with Newfoundland. It is wild and rugged and offers stunning views around every corner of its coastline. It is the most at home we have felt since leaving New Zealand. Newfoundland did not become a province of Canada until 1949 until then it was its own little country. Its main industry until recent years was fishing  almost everything you could imagine but lobster and cod where</description>

                    <description>Note have also updated the PEI blog.Nova Scotia has a little of everything. It has beautiful sandy beaches big lakes and rugged coastline. Our first night we spent at a campsite on the Bay of Fundy which runs between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. The tide here moves a great distance as well. We did a small hike along the clifftop to a viewing area which gave a stunning vista along the beach a</description>

                    <title>Toronto to Prince Edward Island PEI</title>
                    <description>We have made good time since the last blog. We drove from our last stop through to Montreal just stopping overnight in some places that don39t really warrant a mention. When we got to Montreal it was a bit of a culture shock. Quebec province is French and French only. While the surrounding provinces often list things in English and French there is no such luxury here. Every road sign business </description>

                    <title>Pukaskwa NP to Toronto</title>
                    <description>We have made it past Toronto now and have enjoyed some great places along the way. It is getting ever more expensive to camp  we are now paying 30 to 40 excl GST for basic non powered and watered sites. It is a very enlightening experience travelling this way and we have decided that most of the time you don39t get what you pay for. The sites are usually okay but the faciilites of the major</description>

                    <title>Calgary to Thunder Bay</title>
                    <description>Well we have certainly covered some distance since the last entry All the petrol we are consuming is making it very hard to stick to budget as we have been filling the van on an almost daily basis. At least petrol is cheap here. Our van was given plenty of TLC by the mechanic in Calgary and now runs like a dream.We headed out of cold wet Calgary to Medicine Hat. Along the way the weather cleared </description>

                    <title>Hope to Calgary</title>
                    <description>Finally we made it out of Vancouver It has been pretty wet over here and along with the spring thaw the result is all the rivers etc are swollen and flooding which has made all the waterfalls extra spectacular.HOPEOur first stop out of Vancouver was a little township called Hope. We only stopped here to check out the Othello Tunnels in the Coquihalla Canyon Provincial Park. These are old rail tu</description>

                    <title>Alaska</title>
                    <description>Alaska was amazing We boarded in Vancouver and spent the first full sailing day going up the inside passage. We didn39t expect the boat to move so much as it was so big but you definitely get quite a bit of sway going on when on the open sea. It is much smoother in the fiords and inlets where the swell is smaller or nonexistant.The scenery for the entire trip was just spectacular. Up the insi</description>

                    <title>Vancouver Island</title>
                    <description>We caught the car ferry across to Nanaimo where we stayed for 4 nights in a lovely wooded RV park with a view over the harbour. RV parks are often located in places with some of the best views although they work a little differently to what we are used to at home. In New Zealand when you go to a campground you expect the usual washrooms and laundry but also generally cooking facilities and sinks f</description>

                    <title>Whistler Canada</title>
                    <description>We have purchased ourselves a 1981 Volkswagen Westfalia Campervan so finally have some wheels and a place to live in. She runs very well but is quite old and Tane is keeping himself occupied by fixing up bits and pieces. She is mechanically sound though which is the most important thing and the fridge and stove run perfectly so she will suit us well. It will be a relatively slow trip across Canada</description>

                    <title>Vancouver BC</title>
                    <description>Not too much has happened in the past week. We have arrived in Vancouver and had a great time staying in Downtown Vancouver. The area is pedestrian and cyclist friendly with nice wide sidewalks and cycle lanes. The city sits in front of the mountains which provide a beautiful backdrop. They are currently still topped with snow  the average temperature here is 1217 degrees. We walked around Stanl</description>

                    <description>Well our first stop is nearly at an end. Hawaii has proved a fantastic start to our OE. We have enjoyed beautiful hot days approx 28 degrees and balmy nights. The Waikiki Beach area is likened to the Gold Coast in Australia and is heavily tourist orientated. Shopping ranges from your run of the mill cheap markets to the top of the line stores like Cartier etc Tane cringed every time I dragged h</description>
