Oh man, the weather forecast was for rain. That wasnt encouraging because typically there is only a 30% chance of seeing Denali on a good day (the highest peak in the Northern hemisphere at 20310ft ). We came out to a chilly morning, but no rain. Yea!!! We named our silver SUV Buck and took off for supplies then we headed south on Alaska 3. Buck bounced along the beautiful but wavey highway for a Read on...
After a brief 4D3N stint, it was time for me to bid farewell to Jeju as I made my way back to Busan in the morning. Jeju to me is a beautiful and peaceful island. At least in the area where I stayed, the crowds were thin and the main thoroughfare wasnt teeming with people.
Arriving back to Busan city centre in the afternoon, I had a quick in the hotel before heading to the colourful Gamcheon Cul Read on...
First let me say, there was no blog entry yesterday. It was purely a moving day500 miles across the interstate. There was really nothing to report except perhaps the new hotel that we stayed in last night. La Quinta in State Rd 933 in South Bend was brand new. So new, it was only the second day opened and we were the first people to stay in our room. Not to say that all was good. They still have s Read on...

Lets start with a continuation of yesteday afternoon, waiting in the Echuca railway station for our 3:53pm train to Bendigo. We had nearly 2 hours to wait for the train which was why I was able to get the blog out early. With time still to kill before the train was due to depart I happened to glance down at Jeffs rear tyre. It appeared the Karma bus back for a second swipe as it was flat. I tried Read on...
Iceland is famous for its waterfalls so we thought wed give them a red hot (more on that later) go in one day (other than yesterdays taster at Gulfoss). Packed up and bade our farewells to Depill and the pregnant mares before hitting the road headed to Seljalandsfoss, famous because of its beauty and because you can walk right underneath it, and get a little wet.
What the guidebooks fail to menti Read on...
It has been cold and raining the last two days but we got just a few showers and broken clouds today with the temps still in the 40s. While most of the passengers went off for a tour of the town, about 30 hardy souls including us went off in search of WWII history.
There are a lot of explanations as to why Hitler held his rallies here and also as to why the Allies decided to hold the WWII war cri Read on...
We spent today in and around Port Lincoln. We started with a decadent breakfast at LAnse French Bakery & Croissanterie. The staff at the Tourist Information Centre told us that the chef at LAnse used to cook for the French President and the miso scrambled eggs highly, so that was what we had! After our delicious eggs there was no room for any of the sweet treats in the pastry cabinet so we took th Read on...
Were all interested in going on a relaxing trip. We all need to take a break from our usual routine now and then, as some studies show how traveling is beneficial to our health. A short trip is an excellent way to relax and unwind from the stresses of daily life. Its a way for us to refuel. And we could all use it now and then. Changing our surroundings allows us to forget about our problems and c Read on...
