Hotel Millenia Apia

... Savaii. The first stop was a waterfall near the village of Palauli (par-louch-lee) on the southern coast of Savaii, called the Afu Aau (ar-fu ar-ow)Waterfall. A track takes you in 3km into a gorge about 30m deep, where water cascaded over many surfaces into a serene pool that meandered its way to the coast. Very calming. After a brief respite, we made our way through to the ...

... villages, children of all ages were dressed in their crisp school uniforms waiting for the school buses to take them to school. Pigs wondered the kerbs often with a pack of piglet's toddling on behind and dogs all over the show, they all seemed to be streetwise slowly dodging out of the way as our minibus whizzed by. The countryside was lush with tropical plants covering just about every inch of spare ground, palm trees swayed in the morning ...

... over the beach. The second night, everything had started to feel damp. By the third night, it felt like we were sleeping on wet sandy towels. No matter what we did - nothing would dry completely. I washed some clothes by hand and 3 days later, they still were damp - and by then, smelly.And sand was everywhere!!! By the last day, the romance of sleeping on the beach had left, and we were ready to head back to town to fly onto Tonga.

... keeruliste teeolude eest. Juba tuttava Europcari asemel eelistasime seekord ühte kohalikku (Julian's) laenutust, kuna hind oli parim ja Europcari Samoal polegi. Dziip nägi väljast siiski parem välja, kui seest. Ax'i esimene arvamus oli, et selle autoga on laipu veetud J Auto oli juba parasjagu vatti saanud ja paar korda tekkis meil probleem auto käivitamisega - mingi akuühendus oli kehvake. Olles tsipa linna peal tiirutanud, läksime autorendist uuesti läbi ja kontori taga ...

... to Q1 ( http://www.q1.com.au/ ), which is the tallest residential tower in the world and is the highest point on the gold coast (standing 230 metres high) so you can see all the way to Brisbane on a clear day. It wasn't that clear when we went up but as you can see from the pics.. you can see pretty far! The 360 degree observation desk is on level 77 and takes 38 seconds to get there in the lift and makes your ears pop on the way! There is a cafe on the ...

... into our home for the next 5 weeks. A Gorillaz (The band) wicked camper van. Which i am pleased to say we manged to get a decent one, not like some of the bombs you see flying around the country. So straight away we headed into the Blue Mountains which i have to say were absolutely stunning. I think the were created during a time of large regional uplift which caused a plateau, this then was subjected to some volcanics (basaltic i think) and the weathering has been working hard ...

alors j ai passe trois jour dans ma fale, mon bungalow en bord de mer.. mais apres trois jour je commencais a me sentir comme un hermite, pas beaucoup de compagnons dans les environs et pas grand chose a faire sauf se dorer au soleil.. et c est pas ce que je prefere... ma peau en premier... bon j ai fait du kayak, surfer le reef, avec le balois d a cote qui loue les kayaks.. suis alle faire du snorking.. c etait cool mais le coral et plus mort qu a fiji a cause des ...

... it seem as though you were even higher up. Fun none-the-less but nothing too special and it does fill up that space well and completes the locale. Of course we managed to get on all of the rides that we had enjoyed during our last visit, including several rides on Scooby Doo's Spooky Coaster as it was sporting shorter queues than we had previously seen. A few rides stick out as memorable: our first ride on Scooby Doo was ...

... hours kip before work so I didn't bother. First thing I checked at work on Thursday was the score, I seriously didn't think we'd be able to turn over Sunderland as its probably the toughest away game in the league. FEED THE FORSE AND HE WILL SCORE! Thats all that needs to be said about the game and I hope that the Blue machine keeps rolling over on Saturday to turn over Stoke. I know for a fact that I'll be getting a few free drinks when I head up ...

... de Paris, yes, I understand and likewise the push to get one for London, but I think what Brisbane really needs is a heart, not a beach. I was talking to this doctor who had also quit her job to go travelling and we both agreed that Brissie could do with some more people. People, people, people! More worker bees to get up from that fake beach, wipe the fake sand off their botties and get to work in that lonely ol' CBD. Anyway, I did a very nice 5k walk of the city to see its ...
