3 weeks to go in London

Starting this off 9 months into the trip probably seems a bit strange but I've decided that I would like to have some type of memory like this that is official rather than lots of bits and pieces and scribbled bits of paper all over the place when I do...

Back in the Kiwi Saddle

Hey folks Not many stories to report over the last couple of weeks. It has rained every day since I have left the UK. The irony is so old it has almost started to rust. Perth and Melbourne were all good, although didn't do a whole lot apart fro...

 

Nov 2006 : The Devil in Tassie? Pfff, même pas peur !

Hi guys, Here I am again. And this time I thought I might just give it a go and try to write this in English. Of course, it’s not gonna be as hilarious as the usual stuff (oui, mes chevilles vont très bien, merci de vous inquiéter) but I’l...

Answering the question: Do dingoes really steal babies?

So I didn't miss my flight...but actually I almost did. The first leg of the journey was to fly from SeaTac into LAX. If you fly on frequent flyer miles, you are one step above livestock. They won't give you a confirmed seat, even though I booked th...

 

Round the World Trip 2006/07

We arrived in La Paz on Thursday afternoon. It is absolute mayhem here! Buses, taxis, combis and people everywhere. Crossing the road is a challenge in itself. We went to an Asian restaurant for our farewell meal on Thursday night. Having not had a cur...

 

Grand ol' world tour

The Navimag cargo ferry, our home for five nights and the best fun you can have on a ship loaded with cargo trucks, cows and sea-sick passengers. Travelling on the first trip of the high season meant that the boat was only a third full. Which was exc...

 

Melbourne Sucks!

The First Installment

Massive props to all those that showed. Primo party....but then I wouldn't expect anything less from such a killa group of people. Shot to the boys for sussing the sounds, huge thanks to Stevo for providing the venue and everyone else who gave a hand....

European Getaway

Before arriving in Nice today we stopped off at a French perfumary called Fragonard. We had a tour of the lab, heard about the elusive "Nose", who makes up the purfumes for each factory. Apparently it takes something like 1000kg of flowers ...
