Johnno s Journal

Well after 6 weeks of wonderful hot weather I am in London. I think it was 10 today! I arrived yesterday, it’s great to catch up with Sandra. Unfortunately my body has bailed up - I have the flu. I will need a holiday to get over this holiday. I have taken it easy for the last 2 days to try and survive the next week or so. The last couple of days on the cruise were a little hectic to say the least. Our little group of party animals (Kerry was calling us the Rat Pack) were going hard. It was lucky that we sailed for the last whole day so we just sat around the pools. I will try and attach a photo or two now that I have a bit more time ... read more

Hola! Well I have survived Cuba as well. I have just had 10 days in Cuba, and as you would expect I hooked in to the Cuba Libres everyday. I have decided that I may be a rum drinker after all. It was good training for the next 2 weeks. I was on a tour with about 10 60 plus year olds. Entertaining but not as much fun as the last group. No near misses with flights anyway. In the group we had a duck who is a travel writer and used to write for Gourmet traveller. I liked her the most!! Cuba was amazing and most of the time I thought I was in a movie from the 50´s. Everyone talks about the old cars in Havana, I thought I would see a couple but ... read more

Greetings to you all. Well we have finally left Chile, I was not such a fan to tell you the truth. We arrived here in Bariloche last night via boats and buses through the Andes. It was a long day of sitting around waiting, at least the view was nice. Bariloche is sensational, very pretty place, unreal steak (BBQs are pretty famous here), great wine, shit beer, very cheap and great looking men. I think I will enjoy my time here. A Canadian girl and I (with a guide) went hiking up a Volcano 2 days ago. We had a great view of the lake and surrounding mountains. However after 4 hours of walking, I thought I was going to have a heart attack. Luck the Canadian is a doctor. Anyway I told the two to ... read more

The count down is on! This is really a test to see if I have worked out this travel blog thing. Only 7 more days to go before I head off to the land of Red Wine! I am looking forward to drinking and eating my way around South America. I will be spending my first week in Chile - so I will certainly update you and put some photos up for your amusement. Cheers Johnno ... read more
