The Atacama & an Exciting Excursion to Bolivia – Uyuni, Potosí, Bolivia
Jump to the full entry & travel map Uyuni, Potosí, Bolivia Buenos Tardes!! Hello from Bolivia and what an amazing week it’s been! Anyway I’ll try not to get ahead of myself and will start from leaving Santiago… A 25 hr bus ride brought us into the north Chilean city of Calama, we the then took a further hour and a half bus to San Pedro de Atacama. This is a wonderfully inca-themed oasis village in the Atacama desert, bursting with travellers and unfortunatley this also means stupidly high prices! We checked into a cute little hostel, grabbed some dinner, then collapsed into bed

Jump to the full entry & travel map Santiago, Región Metropolitana, Chile Buenos Dias Amigos! Apologies for taking so long to get these up nowadays as struggling to ever find internet access! After leaving El Calafate (from last blog) we took a short 5 hr minibus to Puerto Natales in far south Chile, just above Tierra Del Fuego. This was a weirdly attractive and mysterious town, with rows of multicoloured corrugated iron houses perched along empty streets emerging through thick fog.

Jump to the full entry & travel map Athens, Attica, Greece Out of all the places we visited during this trip, Athens was the one place that really dissapointed. It was overcrowded, very hot, very smelly, heavily polluted, and the local people were exceptionally impolite, viewing tourists as people to make money from. Arriving from Sparta on the early morning bus, we only spent one day in Athens, visiting the Acropolis and the other sights, before we decided that one day was one day too much, and immediately booked the late evening flight to Rhodes….

Jump to the full entry & travel map Tokyo, Japan How did we decide to go to Japan? I think it’s a good question as we both (especially me) are planning to travel a longer time in Asia and the money we spent in Japan in three weeks would have allowed us even a few months in the cheapest countries in South-East Asia or for example in India. However, as I had studied in China and Aapo in South Korea, both having also visited each other, we both agreed that it would be a good time to visit the third giant of the region, comparing and getting better understanding of what North East Asia is about

Jump to the full entry & travel map Concord, North Carolina, United States I could not sleep last night. I just got home from a trip to New Orleans to bid my grandmother farewell, as she passed away this past week, and the anxiety surrounding this event inhibited my ability to snooze. My husband originally set our alarm clock for 6:45, so that we could get a nice head start on our road trip, but when I tossed and turned, he adjusted the alarm to give me more sleep, thereby postponing our early arrival in Charleston. During the 4 hour road trip, I slept about 2.5 hours…possibly more. I hope my inability to sleep does not preclude our enjoyment of this romantic American city!

Jump to the full entry & travel map Istanbul, Turkey After arriving in Istanbul, and absolutely knackered from the previous night, we hit the streets immediately! – Blue Mosque (Sultan Ahmet Mosque) – Hagia Sophia (Ayasofya) – Cannon Gate Palace / Old Palace (Topkapi Sarayi / Eski Saray) – Roman Underground Reservoir – Across the Bosporus to Asia and back – To a travel agent to get fake student cards so that we could get cheaper flights to Rome And one thing which I vividly remember are the boats moored against the side of the Golden Horn Harbour, which caught fish on one side, grilled it immediately, and then handed them over to me on the other side of the boat to eat – all within five minutes! – that is fast food!!!

Jump to the full entry & travel map London, England, United Kingdom All very excited. Feels surreal that after months of planning, preparation and discussion, departure day has finally arrived. On-line check in worked well – no queues! Fairly uneventful flight although quite a lot of turbulence. Sick bags being handed out like confetti. The smell of breakfast eggs was too much for me, although Ella took the prize. Only Imogen remained unscathed.

Jump to the full entry & travel map kansas city, Missouri, United States I dropped the boys off with their grandparents this morning. Jakob got hurt while in the car and ran inside crying. I think Nick pushed his head over (they were sleeping) and he hit his head. Then Nick was upset because Jake was upset. Not exactly the best send-off. I spent the day at work and then drove to Kansas City. I was, as always, early so I stopped in at a bookstore by the racetrack and looked around. I couldn’t find one book that I was interested in. How often does that happen?! Drove to the Sleep Inn. Kelly drove up and picked up my car. I walked over to the Waffle House and had dinner. Yummy! Went back to my room and relaxed. My flight is at 6:50 a.m. tomorrow morning. That means a 4:30 wake-up time to make the 5:00 shuttle to the airport. I know; my travel blog will get more exciting than this. Give me some time

Jump to the full entry & travel map Dawson City, Yukon, Canada Monday, July 20 – Dawson City, YT – Day 2 Since our group was scheduled to carpool to town at 9:30 this morning, I got out of bed around 8:30. Art told me that he was not going anywhere. He looked terrible. Besides the pain that he’s been experiencing for days, he now has alternating chills and sweats. I intended to crawl back in and stay with him rather than meet everyone else, but he reminded me that we usually take John and Martha with us and that if I didn’t go, they might not have a ride. So I got ready for the day. About 15 minutes before departure, he decided to get dressed and make a valiant effort to grin and bear it.

Anthony is taking me as a deckie on his sailboat a Ketch called Grain de Sable. Apart from the one time where I decided to go with Flo to Malaysia after knowing him for one evening, this is probably the sickest thing I’m about to do. It’s a voyage in a very different setting

Jump to the full entry & travel map Bundaberg, Queensland, Australia I had Sunday afternoon to myself, so I went for a drive to the coast, and went for a stroll along the beach. Wasn’t really expecting much, because let’s face it, I’ve seen a beach before, but I came across a stretch of rocks along the coast, and thought I would go looking in the rock pools. Because you can never outgrow poking around in rock pools
