Santorini

AUSTRALIA | Wednesday, 15 Jul 2009 | Views [230] | Comments [1]

As with alot of Santorini alot of looks rather than substance. The last computer ($3 for 15mins) didn't save this and was very user unfriendly. It is very beautiful here and our accom is lovely (only bummer is no pool...). We came over on the spew cat ... Read more >

AUSTRALIA | Friday, 3 Jul 2009 | Views [244] | Comments [1]

Made it to Prague Janet. Altho my photos didn't work today so have to retake some. Shouldn't have changed my card over, oh well! Walked over the Charles Bridge and back. Tomorrow will do the Palace area. Staying out of the centre a bit so catching interesting ... Read more >


More non blondes

AUSTRALIA | Wednesday, 1 Jul 2009 | Views [230] | Comments [2]

There are fewer blondes around than you´d think. I think red is uncommon as a toddler in a cafe was pointing at JOhn's and laughing in glee. he he. Stockholm is a fantastic city. It has been high 20s everday and people very happy and friendly and nearly ... Read more >

Scotland

AUSTRALIA | Tuesday, 23 Jun 2009 | Views [216] | Comments [2]

I just wrote this but it didn't save so will try again... So as I was saying, I have since discovered that whisky doesn't have an 'e' and have done the whisky experience in Edinburgh and a more authentic one at Glengoyne. Both were good but I'm not ... Read more >
