Inn On Long Lake Nanaimo

... m ready to go with the flow.<br><br>After Ireland I'm on to Portugal, from there I plan to travel to Turkey, then on to Cairo to join TDA on another tour of Africa. I have a couch lined up in Lisbon through the couch surfing network, (www.couchsurfing.org) which is just about the coolest way to cut your travel expenses in half. I have just one day in Lisbon before I head south to the farm/guesthouse where I'll be volunteering my time for a couple weeks through the ...

... to go! <br><br>After the fair, we drove to the grocery store to pick up some coffee (and Sue inadvertently gave me a guided tour of the island on the way). While I waited in the car, I saw her emerge clutching a pie-shaped dish... pumpkin pie! 2 out of 3 in one day! Well we returned home to find a feast well on the way. Sue, Christopher and I had a quick game of frisbee/piggy in the middle in the yard. Christopher always wanted to be in the middle, which was fine by me, but I ...

... put together in a factory. But I have come to<br>love and care for this bike like it were an extension of myself. And so<br>it's only right that I give it the proper thanks it deserves....<br><br><br>Dear Beloved Bike,<br><br>Our<br>journey is coming to an end. I am sitting here eating sushi on the<br>ferry deck while you&#8217;re down below on the vehicle deck. We are minutes<br>away from Nanaimo. <br><br>It has been a tremendous journey<br ...

... happy hour where we had half price appetizers. They happen to have the Argos vs BC lions football game on tv and the Argos were winning. However, the Argos managed to blow the lead and lose the game. Yeah, so I guess we shouldn't have been chanting Arrrrgoooos. <br><br>Today, we started our day with coffee at Seriously Coffee on the main street, while we pulled together the shopping ...

That's right folks - the packing is done. I was up until 1:30 in the morning, but the bags are packed and I'm ready to go. Hey, who invited John Denver into this blog?! If you know what my house or office looks like then you won't be surprised that I have one more bag than I planned on. What a packrat. There is the big green monster backpack and then my carry-on suitcase (that's the one I hadn't planned on) and then my daypack. Oh well - I plan to leave much of it behind in Tibet.

... slightly forward as if a small breeze had hit him, but he didn't go over the side. I was a bit confused. He turned around and smiled, "Sorry, I thought you were supposed to push me over," he commented to the guys. They counted him off again, "1, 2, 3, BUNGEE!!" CJ leaned gracefully outward and toppled over the side. I craned my neck to see his fall but he had swung under the bridge and was no longer in my sight. It was over so quickly that if you were to blink you would ...

... a small general store but that has gone, and I think there is still a post office, but there is nothing else. As soon as Henri came out we leapt back into the truck, and high-tailed it to the line-up for the ferry - and were very relieved when we realised that the queue was short enough to mean that we were going to get on the ferry - as the next one was 2 hours later. We got on with no problems and went upstairs to watch the final loading. Wow - those guys ...

... The beach reminded Damien of Balmoral beach and the street was full of restaurants, shops and a library which we visited after returning the bikes. We went to Tanpopo Japanese restaurant and paid only $21.95pp for as much sushi and a variety of typical Japanese foods as you can eat. Order as much as you like.Hidemi wasn't that hungry so Damien made up for her small portion of course. We walked off our dinner by walking the same way back to the hotel, dropping into the late opening 3 ...

... relaxing holiday but it was still a great one. I think the only negative place for me was Italy. Just really didn't like the culture and the city there. Not exactly my cup of tea. But everything else was great. If you don't mind spending a great deal of time on a bus, you should definitely try this tour. No planning required! :) Getting a little jetlagged...8-9 hrs difference...need to sleep soon...would have been better if it weren't for chatterbox kid...g'nite all
