... somewhere because I guess Ive always worried if I ever would/could. And this wouldnt "ruin" traveling but reshape it once I found balance. My life had always been sort of out of balance/extreme, and I think this is an opportunity to make traveling something even better for me. (sorry if that doesnt make sense as I try to write it out..) <br><br>I had time to think about all this **** because the woman sleeping under me snored louder than anyone Ive ever heard. <br><br><br><br>

... branches in our faces but uplifted and excited again. Sure enough, we got to the waterhole, circled around some other trucks and breathlessly watched 2 tigers, a mother and almost grown son, come out of the weeds. Her other son came out and stood on a rise of dirt and called to them. The deer around the waterhold had already abandoned the area with alarm cries. OH, we were so happy that we saw three (3, count 3) tigers.<br ...

... ate in Iceland in 2009, but I would remember something else. I had a choice between puffin and whale, and seeing as whale was slightly cheaper, I went for it. It was preceded by a lobster and cognac soup (very tasty!), but in very short order, the main event arrived on my plate, surrounded by potatoes and vegetables. I had imagined something rather white and blubbery - not very appetizing, and ...

... miss lunch. I think we only went into four or five stores, but that was enough to get gifts for everyone Amy has ever met. For lunch we went to the Fish Market. East meets West as typical Icelandic food is fused with Asian influences, which actually makes sense since Iceland is known for their fish. We decided to go to this restaurant for lunch since it was significantly cheaper than dinner (surprisingly no one else has ...

... 50 dollars a night. Maria registered with couch surfers, and after several rejections we got accepted by this lovely woman called Birna. (she has a dog and a cat and a little 8 year old girl, she gave us a key and sent us on our way). Its saving us so much money and we get the pleasure of being in a home and having access to local knowledge, animals and other couch surfers. Its soo very very good and I will never travel another way again. She ...

... to Iceland they stopped in Scotland and Ireland to pick up a 6 pack of Guinness and some slaves. With the influence from the Celts and Scottish you can imagine the culinary paradise I have been traveling in. This brings me to my next topic.. FOOD The food here is wonderful. They have many great restaurants. One standout includes a place called SUBWAY. Here you can get deli style sandwiches on bread baked fresh daily. Absolutely brilliant. Another culinary delight ...

... lunch today was soup and bread - 850 krone (that's about $16). Two beers - one pint, one middy - $20. Two hot chocolates $10. Postcard - $4 !!!!!!! And so forth. It's so expensive even the locals think it's ridiculous, and they're earning krone! That being said, apart from the cost, the cold (it's three degrees celsius) and the fact the hot water smells like sulphur (or rotten eggs, if you wish), this ...

... and would I like some company. So here we are several months later catching the Stansted Express to the airport. I really hardly know Barbara, as although we've danced together in Melbourne quite a few times, we haven't really spoken much. Tango is funny like that - normally you meet a woman and talk to her and find out about her background, likes/dislikes, etc then become more friendly and embrace each other, etc, but with tango everything is turned around - you dance for the ...
