The first part of the day was a travel day. I caught a bus to Termini and took a train to the airport from there. I forgot to mention that Rome has a great bus system and is free. It was a really great way to get around. The flight was pretty bumpy ... Read more >

Italy has a great train network, and I used it today for an adventure in Florence. The ride up took about an hour and a half, and we rode through some REALLY old and small towns. Most of them were perched on top of a small mountain or hill with fields ... Read more >

Today I set off in the opposite direction and headed for Vatican City, the smallest soverign state in the world. First stop was St. Peter's Basilica, which was huge and beautiful. Someone told me that the line to get in was three hours long, though, ... Read more >

Allen and I woke up early today to explore Bozborum. Bozborum probably is not on any map or guide. It is a small town of 200 or so and depends on fishing and small backyard farms for the most part. There were a few shops here and there as well as ... Read more >

We left early for the fishing town of Daça this morning. Daça was once a tiny place but has grown quickly as a result of the new road that was constructed ten years ago. The harbor area was the usual tourist trap but a real town exists just a few blocks ... Read more >

I had a bit of time in Bodrum this morning, so I checked out of my Hotel and walked around a bit. Bodrum is pretty for a tourist town. There were people from all over the world in the harbor area, but the locals refrained from bothering the tourists ... Read more >

Flew to Delhi via Beihjing and Shanghai - stayed at the Hans Plaza Hotel. This hotel also wasn't that great. I think we were too spoiled by the Shangri-La. I suspect the Taj in Delhi would have been a better bet. Funny stuff from today: - The bus ... Read more >

We got all our packing done at a reasonable hour. Marnee came over to keep us company while we threw stuff in bags. We got to the airport way earlier than we needed to and then found out that our flight had been delayed. It wasn't too bad, though.... Read more >
