Forleden fandt vi en rigtig fancy campngplads lige uden for hovedstaden og med direkte busforbindelse, så vi ikke behøver køre skrumlet ind mellem de mange politifolk, motorcykler og biler. Det er bestemt en fordel, for det er ret krævende at køre kæmpesvinet "ELMO" RV i tæt bytrafik...Den er både høj og lang. Washingtons Metro er desuden noget lettere at gennemskue end NY hvor vi konstant måtte spørge os frem for ikke at ende det helt forkerte sted. I metroen blev vi kontaktet af en venlig dame, Fran, der fulgte os næsten hen til White House, alt imens hun konsant smalltalkede. Vi [View Full Entry]

i fly in two weeks. i guess i should consider my luggage options. oh, and find my phrasebook and directions and my old phone and my stash of chinese yuan RMB and let my bank know not to freak out when beijing ATMs come up and decide what bags and shoes to take and which ones i can buy cheaper in the market and whether i trust checking a piece of luggage or not and i need copies of my passport and visa and to back up my photos online and download a proxy server so i can view foreign sites [View Full Entry]

I feel like I have a lot of time to catch up on since I last wrote although in fact nothing MUCH has happened. After I went to Oaxaca city I got a night bus to travel the 8 hours to the coast to a wee place called Zipolite. It was so beautiful and so perfect it was as though Disney made it! Although if Disney had made it, it would have been deadly expensive and there would definately have been hot water in my hotel. Still for $80 who´s complaining! The sea was blue, the sand was white, the beach [View Full Entry]

So i am in the united states, writing this from the convenient and comfortable confines of my backyard, underneath my gazeebo to be exact. It has been four days since I've arrived in the states and the weirdness of being back is beginning to wear off. The final flight , per my typical nature , carried its own adventures, me , ab , and steve met two body guards from californina, who had justbeen on a detail in the GAlapagos protecting one of forbes 50 richest men in the world, and so we chatted, and they gave me their business card [View Full Entry]

Hello, I am nearing the end of my stay in NYC and think I have managed to do most touristy things! I took the Staten Island Ferry which takes you past the Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge and had a look at the Natural History Museum which has the world's largest dinosaur collection, and it would seem the largest collection of school children running around! I have met up with a few people from Sciences Po which was good and even managed to go for a drink in a bar that was hidden behind a hot dog diner...how bizarre! [View Full Entry]

Another Greyhound bus took us from Philly to the capital of the US, Washington D.C. We then checked into our hostel which was right in the center. After a Thai dinner, we hooked up with the free tour of the nearby district of Georgetown where John F Kennedy once lived before becoming president and also where they filmed the steps scene from The Excorcist. The tour ended in a bar and on the way home we got soaked in a thunder and lightening storm. Great! The next day (Richard's birthday) we had a $2 breakfast and had to move to a [View Full Entry]

Hello again. After our marathon 20 hours travelling we've spent 4 days here at San Francisco. It's supposed to be the city that everyone wants to live in and we can see why. The weather is great. Clear blue skies with a really cool breeze from the bay. It's such a friendly city as well. The main pier area is Fishermans Wharf. It's got loads of nice restaurants and bars. We've seen loads of funny stuff including a man chaining himself to a tree for some reason and a gypo and another man having a slap fight in a crowded park. [View Full Entry]

Greetings from Philly Happy Birthday Niamh she is 6 today. A guy who sounds like he is about to keel over and die has just walked in the room i hope he doesn't i dont know mouth to mouth! So I checked in yesterday after sitting on a bench watching 2 episodes of the shield on my ipod waiting to check in. This hostel is okay not as clean or well maintained as the NY one but you get what you pay for. There were 2 ginger guys in my dorm last night that was a major upset as no one [View Full Entry]

J'avais toujours rêvé d'aller pêcher au gros depuis mon arrivée aux Bermudes. L'occasion était donc idéale, accompagné de la fine équipe. Réservation faite donc pour le lundi, sur la "Playmate" bateau du Capitain Keith Winter et so fils, Kevin. A eux deux, ils font un peu vieux loups de mer à qui on ne la fait pas. Les photos des prises dans la cabine du bateau et sur leur site internet sont équivoques: marlins, requins, thons, wahoos etc.... la journée devrait être très bonne ! Rendez-vous à 6h du matin à Albuoys point. Nous avions pris la précaution d'avaler de la [View Full Entry]
