... no longer having to car about what anyone else wants to do or what they think. Instead we've spent our time wandering Canberra's near deserted streets, aimlessly shopping and getting a few chores done. The city centre is modern to say the least and ...

... I'm over tired and 4 hours behind so it was like waking up at 5am though the clock said 9am. After breakfast we rested in the guest house TV room (read I fell asleep again on the couch.) I enjoyed the ferry ride this time and went out on the deck, looked ...

... Amanda. Ours was a 14 person bus pulling a trailer for all our gear. Our first stop was the capital of Australia Canberra. Rather interesting story of this city. Way back in 1901 all of the various colonies in Australia decided to become states ...

... waiting for them. The also had 3 x Audi Q7's waiting for them at the International/domestic transfer bus area. We boarded our Canberra based flight about 8.20. We wer still sitting on the ground on the flight at 9.30. Some warning light had come on as ...

... to be seen! I did go and pat a stuffed one, but I don't think it was as good as the real thing. We arrived into Canberra and headed down to the lake and parliament area. We had a little stroll, tried to name all the flags and then spotted, shining in ...

... high school rugby practices by my hardcore crazy bull dike coach. This special morning, I had to wake up early to drive to Canberra, Australia's national capital to celebrate the X-Mas holidays and re-unite with my friend Ali. I met Ali at Brock when she ...

... nbsp;  We pick up Mike and Debbie, the Thailand based Americans, and proceed through pretty familiar streets to the Kathmandu Guest House, which hasn't changed a lot since 2001, when we last stayed here when the nine members of the Royal Family were ...

... very steep runway... I doubt there is another airport that has a runway like it ...! We sat down and organised our bags at Lukla Guest House which is at 2804m - i was already higher than any point in Australia and we hadnt even started yet... All of us ...

... fell in love with Ottawa as in some ways it quite reminded us of Perth with a bit of Canberra thrown in. Our accommodation was in an old guest house with shared bathroom, communal kitchen and a pleasant 2klms walk to the city centre. Through our usual ...

Hot.  And humid. Civic Guest House is a good place to chill out and meet cool, non-party-party-party travelers.  Plus we arrived on a Friday and got free BBQ.  Mmmmm.  That makes me happy no matter who the clientele are. ...

... of relaxing days before heading back to the bustle of Sydney for the New Year Celebrations. We were staying at a pretty little guest house in the town of Katoomba, nestled amongst the impressive gorges of the Blue Mountain ranges.  Having the car ...

... low-income households we see: pawn brokers, compensation lawyers, and the occasional charity store. In the 3km between Queensgate and our guest house there are no fewer than four pawn shops and six law practices. All this while the trainee bus driver is ...

... had cleared, it wasn't that spectacular. Besides we wanted to get to Sydney where we treated ourselves to a warm bed in a small guest house and where our Irish friends from Vietnam were waiting with drinks to be drank! We spent 6 days in Sydney and went ...

... motorbikes on the road. Larabanga is somewhere between a village and a small town. Stop in an intersection outside Salia Bros Guest House, expecting to discharge all the non-tourist passengers, and carry on, but we had not factored in African ...

... up at 8am which is super early for me these days and had a good English style breakfast in the cafe next door to the guest house. Then I got on a local train to KL Sentral (Kuala Lumpur's main train terminal) and got a ticket on another train to ...

... combination or banana and banana flavoured bubble gum with a sticky glue-your-mouth-together sort of texture. Once at our Tissamarharama guest house we settled into our lovely rooms overlooking a large lake and buddhist temple.  The cook let us know ...

... so then I was all impressed and outraged at the injustice of it all. In 1996some nutter went postal there (because someone else bought a guest house he wanted to buy which he burnt down in the spree) and killed 35 people and wounded 37, as it's a ...
