So, time to get back onto the blogging my travels.

For the first time since December 2010 I finally have holidays, 2 weeks of them!  I had originally wanted to go to Fiji but lots of rain and severe flooding made that a not-so-good idea.  So I decided to checkout my own neck of the [...]

Well it’s been a very long time since I updated this travel blog, I don’t think I even finished my stories about South Africa…. There has been a SAD and not so good reason for not updating this Blog – I haven’t travelled anywhere in a very long time.

Well except for Malaysia, but that was [...]

Given that most of us all met each other in Western Australia and LOVE good quality wine, we decided to embark on another Mia & Karel winery tour, with the addition of Arina and Jenifer who were not being nurses this day.

I am starting to get a little hazy on these details as it’s [...]

Today’s agenda was to spend some time roaming and sightseeing around the beaches surrounding Cape Town. The plan was to drive to Muizenberg then catch a train from there to Gordons Bay going past and visiting quite a few places along the way. So we all piled into 3 cars and headed on our way.

The [...]

Ok, given that we the tribe ( I will call it a tribe from now on) that had all headed over to South Africa to see Mia and Karel all knew each other from Western Australia, we are also very fond of good….. ok not good but GREAT wines! Mia & Karel had often [...]

After my 1st real sleep in 3 days we all did what was to become our morning ritual for the next few days of taking turns to use the bathroom and get ready – with 8 or 9 of us in the house this was not always fun, especially with most of us not being [...]

The flight was,… crap but I won’t harp on about it. The best part was when we walked past the arrival lounge and Mia was jumping up and down waving her arms. Yay Miaaaaaaa!

It was really good to see Mia again. Mia took us to a suburb called Panorama, where we would be staying [...]

The flight to Kuala Lumpur was sweet, had the front exit row, with nothing in front of my legs and a window seat – the perfect seat for an 8 hour nap, which is pretty much what I did.

KLIA Satellite Terminal

Arriving in KL was interesting, the plane arrived at the satellite terminal which [...]

Well made it in time to score an exit row & window seat (thanks Norm!).

Lines lines more lines and lots if waiting. I am happy I have an Android phone with a WordPress app so I can occupy my time updating my blog.

Here’s a photo of other people waiting for the flight.

Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything, I have mostly been traveling around Australia this year to date, Road Trips across Western Australia, Across Queensland and New South Wales, each time being fortunate enough to show a different and equally lovely person from Couchsurfing some of my lovely country .

Laura from [...]

After moving to Brisbane in 2008, I had been back to Western Australia a few times and I was due to go back again in January, to attend a friends 30th Birthday….. So since I was going to ‘have’ to go back there I decided I would also head 10 hours north to Monkey [...]

It was time to do my goodbyes with Keity and her family and head on up to Fortaleza in Northern Brazil. The airport at Vitoria hadn’t got any more modern or larger over the week and after I checked in I waited in a tiny lounge for my flight. It was amazing that I [...]

As much as I enjoyed the state of Sao Paulo, it was time to head north to visit Keity and the state of Espirito Santo so I jumped on a TAM airline flight to Vitoria (the Capital of ES) where I was to meet Keity and her father. The flight was fine, typical domestic [...]

Ok, so Malte and I are back in Sao Paulo at Janaina’s apartment in Vila Sofia, it’s night, we are all hungry so Malte and I decided to go for a walk to a nearby supermarket to buy a few things as Malte was planning to cook dinner for us. I am quite impressed [...]

So after a quiet night in a hotel near Avenida Paulista, I headed over to another CS’ers apartment (Janaina) where I was to meet up with her, another CS’er (Malte) from Germany and her friend Paris…. from where Janaina was going to take us all to her family’s beach house in Barequeçaba.

This was going to [...]

Wow! what a week it has been so far. I guess the best way to do this is a day by day breakdown of my goings on:

Saturday: Well after my last post, I slept and slept, and slept some more I had a brief trip downtown to visit the shops in the afternoon then went [...]

Woohoo I made it, after cramming 23 hours into 12 hours…. hmm yeah my brain and body is still dealing with that one.

Via Auckland and Santiago, Chile and an awesome flight over the Andes (wow snow and high!) I arrived in Sao Paulo and was very impressed with how quickly I got through customs and [...]

So…. I am sitting at the airport awaiting my flight to Brazil

What an interesting last few days it has been, I spent them well with Angel from Sao Paulo by showing her around the Tamborine Mountains and Springbrook national park and leeching her for whatever last minute tips she could give me about [...]
