Well, my Moroccan adventure is over – we are back in money-consuming Spain. And it’s still damn hot. After getting ourselves a ticket to Tangier, the port town linking Morocco to Spain, Portugal and France, we essentially just retired. It was ... Read more >

We’ve just arrived in Fes but haven’t had a chance to really explore yet. I’m also pleased to report that we have a hand-held shower for the first time. At low to mid 30s, it’s a good 10 degrees cooler here than in Marrakech which we are quite grateful.... Read more >

The different culture here just smacks you in the face, not for a moment can you fool yourself into thinking that you might be at home; even our rooms have a Moroccan feel to them. However, there are a surprising number of Australian tourists here ... Read more >

Wow. I’ve only been in Morocco for four hours and I’m in love already. What an amazing place. Everything is such a wonderful assault on the senses and I’m only in Casablanca! Before arriving into Casablanca we did nearly lose our baggage, along ... Read more >

Hello my pretties. I’ve just realised that I’ve officially passed the half way mark. Whilst this may be a glorious thing for you plebs, I’m torn between anticipating getting home and realising that my amazing trip is only on the downhill slide in terms ... Read more >
SPAIN | Monday, 30 Jun 2008 | Views [914] | Comments [2]
I can’t believe four days has gone so quickly. Already we are due to leave Barcelona tomorrow. It has been a strange mix of very lazy and walking far, far too much. Every day we’ve lain in bed till at least midday, fitting in a few video calls here ... Read more >
SPAIN | Thursday, 26 Jun 2008 | Views [961]
We’ve just arrived in Barcelona and I’m stuffed. It’s nearly 10pm, so it’s still light, but I am considering jumping into bed very soon, which is hard in a country where children are still out at midnight. But I just realised…..BAHAHAHAHA! I’m in the ... Read more >
SPAIN | Tuesday, 24 Jun 2008 | Views [938] | Comments [1]
It’s hot. I’m all sticky and I’m still damn jetlagged. But…that’s about all there is to complain about (maybe bar how freaking expensive everything is here). I’m in Spain, baby! We just arrived in San Sebastian and checked into our little family ... Read more >

It´s my last night here in Ecuador and hence South America. I am looking forward to new experiences, though my excitement is tinged with sadness as I prepare to farewell the continent. Despite all the things that I WON´T miss about Smerica, there are ... Read more >

We have finally been able to change our tickets, so we are going straight to Spain on Wednesday! Woohoo!!!!

Well, we’re still in Quito, and we’re not entirely sure when we’re leaving. We’ve had…..some difficulty obtaining a Brazilian visa for Snuffy. We could call them many, many four letter words, and indeed we have. We are probably not going to get to ... Read more >

Good morning my favourite readers, I write to you from the HMAS Darwin, affectionately known as the Darwin Yatch (see photos). I decided that I would write on each day as they happen so that I don’t have a big FO post to write when I get back.... Read more >

Work schmork. I’m too busy thinking about going to the Galapagos tomorrow!! I’m a little excited. I’d be awesomely excited if I wasn’t so damn tired. Where’s a coke when you need one?? I’m lying on my hotel bed in Quito whilst Snuffy goes off on the ... Read more >

Public transport is a fickle thing. Sometimes he works in your favour, organising first class buses to leave whenever you want, either with complete English translation or slowly spoken Spanish for easy comprehension, or the moody little bastard refuses ... Read more >

Just a short entry to update in case I don't get the net for a while. We're currently staying with another Nakiska friend of Andrew's in Lima. Mario lives in the outer suburbs of Lima, but yesterday took Andrew and I and drove us all around Lima, showing ... Read more >
PERU | Tuesday, 27 May 2008 | Views [883] | Comments [2]
This is a tale of alcohol, dancing and intrigue. Okay, no intrigue. But plenty of alcohol. After finishing the Inca Trail I was feeling grooveless and lacked the joy of Cuscotopia music in my head. We briefly visited the Sun Temple and the Cathedral ... Read more >

Okay, are you comfortable? Do you have a coffee in hand? Better go get one. While you’re up, get something to munch on. On second thoughts, go and cook yourself some dinner (or whatever meal you need), eat your fill, grab a refreshing drink, find somewhere ... Read more >

Transport in South America can be an adventure all on its own. In the space of a couple of days, Andrew and I experienced two rather unique bus trips which has given us the inclination to ensure that we revert to travelling first class. Travelling ... Read more >
BOLIVIA | Friday, 16 May 2008 | Views [672] | Comments [2]
Somehow my time in Bolivia is at its end already. It was only to be a short side trip, but I feel a little cheated that I have barely seen the country. After our time in the Uyuni pub (drinking ourselves not quite into oblivion, well at least not the ... Read more >
BOLIVIA | Wednesday, 14 May 2008 | Views [718] | Comments [1]
I’m sitting in the ‘Extreme Fun Pub’ in Uyuni, Bolivia, killing time whilst we wait for a train at midnight to take us to La Paz. We have just finished an amazing 2 ½ day jeep tour of southern Bolivia. After making the easiest border crossing I have ... Read more >
