Hong Kong

lineh — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 14:57:00 GMT

Hello everyone!! Here we are in Hong Kong.

First thing, it is so hot! hydratation ,hydratation all the time...jarhead style!
Is hot in the morning,afternoon,evening etc etc... All day with temperatures going from 27 to 33, and so humid. But his is the only complaint that we can make about this city, because the rest is just fantastic. Eating is very very cheap, and most of the main attractions are for free!

In the begining we thought that 14 days could be a long time in here but now we have realised that there is plenty of acivities and places to visit in the surrounding area.

We have more or less seen what is interesting in downtown and the harbour. Yesterday we went to Kowloon markets, that was awesome. Imagine a place where you can buy anything you fancy!....it was great , birds , flowers, clothes , food, dogs,fish, the list was neverending. Goldfish hanging on display in plastic bags like if they were socks.. "Yeah, Ill just have a pack of smokes and two goldfish please."

We deal with the crowds and the heat as good as we can ,in the beginning it was a bit overwelming but after a while all this caothic mess makes sense and you just end up by going with the flow and being one more among this huge engine.

Well we will let you know about our adventures very soon.

Thanks to everyone for your coments.

Today we will take a break of city tourism and we will toast our arses in the beach. See you later aligator!

Still in Auckland

Heya..!

We are still in Auckland with Tina and Matt. Tonight we are going out for a nice Mongolian dinner and tommorrow we head for Hong Kong!!:)NI HAUUU!

We haven't really been outside the city since we arrived. It has been pure relaxation, just hanging with the the guys and catching up with the latest cinema movies. TRANSFORMERS!!!! Hiihihi!

Besides movies Matt and Manu have been beating the crap out of the Locust in their non-stop insane Gears of War experience.

As you know we spend the first two weeks travelling the South Island in our campervan. The best experience was by far the trip to Milford Sound and he cruise in the fjords. So beautiful. The trip there was quite a ride. Very narrow alpine roads, endless one-way bridges and a bit of snow and ice. But we managed and spend the night by mountain and rainforrest-like surroundings.

After travelling two weeks in a car it has been great just relaxing and using a normal-sized toilet:o). hehehe.

The weather in here has been crazy. Lots of rain but still warm, around 15 degrees. It never gets any colder in Auckland in winter. Summer must be amazing!

To Tina and Matt: Thank you so much for having us. It's been so nice and you guys are the best! Matt, sorry about the tomato-nightmare. We wish you the wedding of your dreams!

That's about it so far. More updates in China.

XXxxXxx and lots of hugs!

Hello,

10 days have almost past here in LA and tommorrow we head for New Zealand.

We have had so much fun in here. The weather has been great and we both have a shiny tan... Manu more than me;o). (Danes don't tan, they burn).

We have been to Universal studios, around in Hollywwod, to the beaches, out patying in Sunset strip and so much more.

We saw Brad Pitt and George Clooney LIVE at the premier of Oceans 13!!! SO COOL!!! We have a couple of pictures, but wont br able to post them now.. Sorry!

The hostel is great and there is always social event going on. We made loads of friends and tonight we will be going out to celebrate my birthday!

Today we have been to the beach and we got a ride home a big 40's American car. Drove around Rodeo Drive and by Beverly hills.

LA is what you would expect. BIG and CRAZY. The roads never end and if you don't have a car you are pretty lost. We have done most of our trips with teh hostel shuttle.

Yester we went to Six Flag Magic Mountain and rode in roller-coaster ALL DAY! Lots of fun. We paid 20 dollars extra and did a Devil Dive together. It's like a free fall from a big swing! AMAZING!!

We are very much considering doing a bungyjump in New Zealand.

Time is running out, so I will finish here.

Wish you all were here and kisses to everyone.

XxxxOooooXXxxx Lina Y Manu
