... Leningradsky, and it was all a bit Bourne Ultimatum (final car chase) as we ducked and weaved our way through Moscow traffic. He was the nicest guy, and he just wanted to chat, to practice his english, and to find out as much about Australia as he could (Australia is his favourite country, even better than all of Europe, which means alot as Russians seem to have a fawning admiration for anything and everything European.

His english was pretty bad, so we had fun with ...

... But me, I am totally a 'J' person. Especially at work. I am the queen of to do lists. I have two diaries, one work and one personal. I maintain three different calendar schedules. At home, I think (hope?) I am a little more relaxed (perhaps Kyle's influence) but some things creep in - such as my habit of making notes on my bills with the date I paid it, and who I spoke to on the phone. I file them away according to year.

Kyle makes fun of me for my tendency to plan - see our ...

... thought it was way too weak! lol Also, everything closes really early here!! All the shops/stores close at either 5 or 5:30pm on week nights, which is making it nearly impossible to get anythign done on weeknights as I don't get off work before that time! A lot of other shops are also closed on Sundays, and post offices close are closed on both Saturdays and Sundays!

Besides that, I went to a neutramatics party last night (similar to Avon) where I met a group of Sonia's friends ...

We are now in Canberra.On from Beechworth we stayed a night in Lake Hume caravan park in Albury,a night in Riverglades caravan park in Tumut.We also stayed in Corryong for lunch. After staying a night in Riverglades, we drove around for two and a half hours to Canberra and now we are staying in Canberra Motor Village for a couple of nights.The weather is almost tropical(as dad says), and Marc and I are still riding our bikes around the parks.

... The Aussie company we're with (Pinnacle Sports) has hired a Nepalese company (I think it's called Summit Climb), so the news could come up under either of these two names. Look for an Ama Dablam expedition that goes from October 15th to November 15th, and has people called Tim, Nathan, Jay, Sally, Jesse and Deno. That's us! There's also a ...

Lørdag den 28.juni Vi mødtes i Kastrup lufthavn klokken 9 og efter at have sagt farvel og ønsket god rejse til USA til Cathrina, Henrik og Oskar begav vi os ind i afgangshallen, hvor vi naaede at faa lidt at spise og drikke i Loungen inden vi begav os ud til flyet til Singapore. Klokken lidt i 12 lettede vi saa fra Kastrup Søndag den 29. juni Efter knap 11 timer i luften landede vi klokken lidt over seks i Singapore. Her var omkring 30 graders fugtig varme, som gjorde ...

... in the photo (4.3m) - they can carry 243,500 litres of water per second which then go on to power 10 generators, each of which supplies power to 95,000 homes. Crazy stuff. Chugged oh so slowly up the mountains in second gear to catch a peek at the peak, well Dead Horse pass. First (and hopefully only) snow we've seen in Australia! Carried on to Thredbo, a little ski resort town that isn't quite in full flow yet - the ski runs are white but not white ...

... Plain was Mt Hothman the stop of point for some serious downhill fun. The peaks were capped with a fresh blast of snow and even at the carpark level there was enough snow to lob of few snowballs. The fews from up here were also amazing. From Mt Hothman we decided to get some serious kms under our belts and continued driving through some intense landscapes. By ...

... It was quite beautiful, but we also had to see Murrays Beach where we decided to stay. Now Murrays Beach was spectacular. It cost us $10 to go because it's in a National Park. White sand, clean, clear water, no seaweed. Gorgeous. No sea shells along the water's edge. Just clean sand. It was amazing. Again too chilly for me, but Abby jumped in. To any of you travelers out there, Jervis Bay is a must stop. After the hub-bub of Melbourne, it's a nice retreat ...
