Nice scenery John Boy Hey John, Stephan just ket me read your BLOG. AWESOME! Scenery. Shame about the fitness... I guess you can laugh about that at the end of the trip, meanswhilst, us desk jockeys and tea packer extraordinaire, lack any time/motivation/sunshine .. o,k motivation... to battle even 10km on the er treadlie.... maybe this sunday?
take care and keep the blogs coming : ) cheers, Sam Brown
thats why we go to visit australia hi john....well written...
enjoy utah.....have been many times.....utah is a country within a country as you will see....kinda like tasmania but in not a better way.....have a great trip
Hilarious, John.
I received your text, let me know if you received my reply, then I know that something still works in the land of the free and the home of the brave.
ouch oh god I bet that hurt! it is funny-but like when you digest your holiday experience-it will be in retrospect that you find it funny : )
wow to coming home, hope you have a relaxing flight and will look forward to seeing you both. Mum said you were heading to bed on your arrival-very sensible! I was going to bring out Robbie to see the planes and greet you but will catch up when you have recovered. We are heading up to Lonnie this w/end to see the Hawka's play. It has been great reading your blogs..wonderful. See you soon! xxxx
Love the haircut! Hello, if you decide to head back to the sunshine, let us know! We are currently in Southern Italy but we will be heading back to France in a few weeks! T xx
I didnt even know you had gone!! Hi John,
Didnt even know you were away, hope you are having a wonderful time in Vietnam. Mum mentioned it to me and has forwarded on your blogs Luv kath
Nice to hear from you Glad you have had such an eventful star to your holiday. Would like to hear what you thought of Vietnam. ? later trip for us. Hope you are enjoying yourselves . Bye for now
January 2005 - same track Hey, I've made the same journey but continue far from Peulla in January 2005; also with rain!
Later on I' will blog the hole trip.
Torres (next time you're there) The "W" is indeed now too popular, particularly with Argentinian and Chilean college kids in early January (thier summer recess). Next time try the "circuit". Head beyon Lago Gray and up over the John Dickson Pass. With 120 mph winds, whipped up surface ice stinging your face and thigh deep snow its a barrel of laughs. You will make it to Refugio Los Perros (conveniently at the foot of another glacier) in about 11 to 14 hours. Another 5 hours will see you to the worlds best refuge (and probably the best piece of real estate in the world)... Refugio Dickson. For your money you get a mean spaghetti bolognaise, good company from teh vaquero's, one of the worlds most amazing places to stay, and a lot LOT less other people.
Continue on for another 8 hours to Campo Seron, and then about 5 hours to reach one of the main bases for the park at Refugio (and hotel) Los Torres.
P.S. If you do the "W" always go to the very top for the lookout point above the "British Camp" (Campo Britannica on the maps). Many people stop at the "Italian" camp.
yummo oh, well my comment is just in regards to where can you buy those choc raspberries??? hehe...never heard of them..they sound divine! But yuk to the ferry, smelly ride...! You both look so smiley and well...lovely photos!
I didn't realise we could get chrissy pressies to you both..she says guiltily..lol..glad it cheered your day! Love to you both xxx
Cash already committed Hey John as much as I love reading you blog I am afraid that I have already committed my charity donations to the 'Flippers Fire Fund'. Some clown decided it was a good idea to set fire to Flippers - my favourite fish'n'chip punt. Luckily it only burnt the inside, so it is still afloat and will probably have re-opened by the time you get back.
However, I may be able to scrape some silver together for you. Have you got a western union close?
It all sounds muy tranquillo! (god knows what I just said..hehe)...lol @ u getting wet..and those cold showers don't sound that great...but all sounds fun and interesting...like you are meeting some cool people...hope C's knee is feeling a bit better..love to you both, Rach : )
I´m Tasmanian and that probably explains a lot. I also love to travel, particularly by bike ...
I´ve somehow survived cycling through England, Scotland, Ireland (though someone did steal my bike in Sligo which put an end to that), New Zealand, South Africa, South America and even Vietnam. OK, Vietnam was a cycling story without a bike and a clear demonstration of why, if you should ever be tempted, you shouldn't play touch football on an icy oval 30 minutes before the sun rises on a cold Tasmanian morning two days before heading off on an overseas holiday.
So this time's it's Europe... full info
