Personally, having been raised in a small outback mining town, I had had enough and just wanted to be on my way.

Es gbe noch zwei empfohlene Museen in der Stadt, die ich aber ignorierte und den Read on...

We set sail for Volcanoes National Park today, and it was a bright and sunny day. We went due south of along route 11, passing by our favorite snorkeling area Two Step, stopping at a few buying some Kona Coffee (all beans are picked by hand, hence the price) from Mirandas, a Christian family business. We stopped at a black sand beach – evidently with very rounded lava, and saw our first 2 nene Read on...
Je pensais Vienne pouvoir manger dans une brasserie autrichienne, et bien cest lchec. pour beaucoup elles ouvrent le midi, seulement, pour la clientle locale, et ferment le soir par manque de touristes. Mis part la restauration rapide type Mac Do, les chinois, et les italiens, cest tout ce quon trouve. Je me suis donc souvent un italien, plus tt classe, mais une belle arnaque.

Sean Connery has died aged 90 - a good innings, so we shouldnt feel too sad. However, he means a lot to me, and I want to share some personal opinions and a few things that may not feature in the obituaries.

By 6:30am we were out the door. First we had to cross into Sarria proper, over the bridge. We wound our way through the streets, past a couple of churches and some ruins of a castle. We were up above Sarria with a nice view, so we took a photo, and continued on down the trial. We passed through Barbadelo and 7:30 then Rente about 8:30, then found a nice cafe around 9:30 called Mercado de Serra, so Read on...
We woke up early, what a surprise (eye roll), and decided to go out on the deck and look at the stars. Not only did we see familiar stars, but we also saw shooting stars and the Milky Way. When the sun began to rise, we got dressed and headed to breakfast. We left early to pick up our rental car and tackle the Road to Hana. Susan drove and Claire navigated. The speed limit for the 55 miles we drov Read on...
