Our 4th day of the Inca Jungle tour was to wake up at 4am to climb up the Machuìcchu mountain. This was not to happen though. We woke up at 4am to pouring heavy rain so our guide suggested that we take the bus up to the entrance. This costs 18SOL ... Read more >

Happy Birthday Duncan. I planned a relaxing day for Duncan,
starting with a Balinese massage. Balinese women are miracle workers with hand
strength far exceeding their petite stature. While Duncan tried to put the disposable underwear on his

Like clockwork the deciduous trees had begun to yellow and drop their leaves. The days were visibly shorter and the autumn rains were moving in. It was damp under the forest canopy, a rich musty smell rose from the undergrowth. I picked my way gingerly ... Read more >

I had a lovely last week in okinawa. Visited the famous Ocean expo Park and Aquarium where one can find human-size lobsters, whale sharks, and snakes that look like candy puppets popping out of the sand. I came across a Cherry Blossom Festival and went ... Read more >

No matter how much it irritates me, the one thing I have to admire about the French is their pride. Pride for speaking their own language (it's the only European country that I’ve been to so far that don’t say ‘Hello’ or ‘Hi’ as soon as they see me, ... Read more >
