... tourists visit. New Zealand stands due to the scenery and the positive, can-do attitude of just about everyone we met. We only regretted one stop, St Albans in Australia but it was still a memorable experience. Surprisingly, considering the active nature of the trip, a jellyfish sting was the only significant injury. So it's back to the day jobs. Until next time.

... to a nice Iraqi guy who was studying his PhD in Chemistry in Surrey near where we would be staying. We had planned to buy goodies for the family in duty free but to our horror found out there was only one duty free store on the way out and the family were already there waiting, so we didn't get a chance. Arrival in London - Monday 8th December: Grandma, Grandad and Auntie Theresa picked us up from the airport. It still hadn't sunk in that we ...

... atmosphere was out-of-this-world! People were climbing on phone-boxes and up poles to get a better view, I don't blame them the streets were packed with people trying to see the parade, and the parade didn't disappoint, the costumes were bright and large with most of the dancers being scantily clad, some of them NUDE with just body paint and a thong! Lots to see for everybody! But after a while all the pushing and noise gets a bit much and we being old people ...

... best part by far has been catching up with Wendy( for those of you that dont know, she is one of my best friends from school) Nothing has changed she is still the straight up an d knock em down girl I remember. She has been over here for 2 years working in law but has not seen much, which I found pretty sad, so she took time off to go up to Irland with me on a two day quick trip, wasnt cheap but was well worth it! I really like d ...

... lot of interaction with the audience, period musicians and costume. The main difference being that there were several female actors - not just males dressed up as females (though there was actors doing that too). Even Daniel was fixated by the performance. He commented he didn't understand everything that was being said - but neither did the rest of us, but we all understood enough. The fact that it was set in Venice, where we had been so ...

... Travelbug closer to its destination. In this case, Bururi, Burundi. We did a fair bit of shopping around London and got ourselves aquainted with the subway system to get to Wesminister Abbey and St. John's Cathedral.

March 11 It was a lovely journey back through Belgium on this marbelous sunny day, passeport control and few hours later we came out of the Eurotunnel and arrived in London. I needed a ticket to go to Poole and called Florian who managed it, as you need to do so through the Internet. I had 3 hours before the bus so I went with Nei and Stefano to Sheperd's Bush at the Walkabout. A crazy bar... after a while I understood that most of the people were ...

... da vinci code fame), a few parks, and other stuff I cant remember right now!! haha.. Im running out of time here.. We also had dinner at the oldest pub in London where the likes of Charles Dickens ate..we met and ate with a Cdn, a Brit, and an Aussie... It was great just to roam the streets...seeing how chique Londoners are etc..

... executions in the tower, including two of Henry VIII's wives. Understandably for a site like this, there's a lot of interesting history associated with the tower, including the two princes that disappeared in the late 1400s...and whose bones may have been found in one of the towers in the 1600s. The tower also houses the English crown jewels. These include absolutely beautiful crowns, scepters, gowns, gold dishes, etc. You can't take pictures of any of the items and ...
