Train trip from Verona went without a hitch, quite a good way to travel. Another amazing city. Tuscany really is quite pretty. Caught the open top bus on day one which is a good way to get your bearings. More amazing churches. More gelato for Megan. Megan is in her elemnt. Lots of pasta bread and geleato. Laura was quite keen to climb the ...

... hot!! I know Mr. Marriott is making millions please install a/c's in the elevator.<br><br>Secondly, at the pool and beach you should have a bartender walking around to serve drinks. Not all the time you want to get up from the pool to get a drink. <br><br>Lastly, I had an issue regarding maintance fees going up. I asked to be connected to the GM office and left a message. He never called me back. I was told the he was in a meeting. I felt like I was getting a run around.

... off his laughter, searching his face for recognition. "I remember you!" he said with a sly smile and darting eyes. Inwardly I groaned. A few years ago, on my first trip during my pre-uni gap year I'd visited Ajay's for the first time with Jo. We'd passed our camera over to the guys in the internet cafe to transfer the photos onto CD and had regretted the action ever since. On a board night in a cramped hotel room in Jodphur with gross waxed out ...

... some football with Izzy...I think Liverpool, Arsenal and Man Utd games are showing but I have not seen television for 4 weeks so I am somewhat out of the loop. Thanks again for all your calls/texts and emails. It's great to hear what you are all up to! Unfortunately no weight loss as some of you have suggested. It's a good job that the people in Uganda seem to like slightly plump dirty blondes!! Lots of love to you all Amy x

Our arrival was immediately Congolese -- we'd only received two landing cards on the plane, but the not-so-helpful gentleman in the glass booth at the airport needed four. Then two baggage cart entrepeneurs descended upon us, and it turned out we needed both to help us push past customs guys looking for cash and out into the parking lot. Our friend Angela had arranged to pick us up, even though the flight arrived at ...

... days but the time we have spent with them has been awesome. Dr. Mhando is an amazing human being. He puts in so much to his multiple outreach efforts. Aside from his two practices, he leads the UPENDO HIV group and gives medical care to the CCF boys. Both groups take a lot of work and needless to say MH (my nickname for him) is pushing himself to the limit. It is clearly taking a toll on him but he continues to work tirelessly. He is also an amazing diagnostician. There ...

... We sat frozen with the ocean before us, waiting for the tiny little creatures to come up on shore. No cameras, not even allowed to stand. An hour or so of waiting, a few groups of them hobbled on shore. Worth skipping. Go to the zoo to see instead. Massive migraine. Triggered by the freezing air. Rushed back to the car, we wanted to eat good seafood at Springvale. When ...

... I'm at it, today on the train, 3 people calmly threw three rubbish bags out through the open door into a river that we were going over. In fact, they even had some sort of system going whereby the women in the carriage seemed to know we were crossing a river, so they all passed their rubbish up to the women by the door so they could chuck it out. Magda and myself ...

... Judith was going to have her tarot cards read, but the lady only spoke Portuguese and Spanish! We had a fantastic boat trip round the islands. The sun was shining as we jumped from the boat into the sea and swam to the palm-fringed beaches (a bit like Robinson Crusoe/Pirates of the Caribbean). The captain of the boat kept us entertained by playing ...

... breakfast with plenty of wine included. We arrived in Bariloche the next morning and checked into our hostel, Periko's, which is lovely. It's really cosy and the staff are so helpful and friendly. Bariloche with all its steak restaurant and bars with great wine is definitely a place we could spent a few weeks in, which is a good job really as Elliot has just broken his arm 4 days into snowboarding! We are going to enroll in Spanish school until Elliot gets better and we'll keep you ...
