Je ne peux pas dire prcisment ce que jai mang, un genre de rizotto, sur, avec des champignons, mais pour le reste ???, moi qui suis chiant pour manger, ici je ne suis pas vraiment ma place.
Je voulais me rendre Sofia par le chemin des coliers, vagabonder un peu Read on...
November 27, 2020 LX 288 touched down at Johannesburg International Airport (called Tambo), at 03:55 AM, after a 9:47 hours flight from Zurich. In it were two mighty excited passengers Nui & Nenad.

Its our final morning in La Fortuna and it rained heavily in the night. The volcano has behind a thick blanket of cloud and our last chance of seeing it in its entirety has gone. Never mind, its time to move on to another volcano – Rincon de la Vieja.

Day three started similar to all of the others, bright blue skies, brilliant sun and more birds chirping/singing than I have heard in a long time. Obviously they are in their happy place, as are we. We slept extremely well, with the windows open and the only thing we heard was the gurgling fountain in our courtyard. Breakfast started at 730a with the route rap at 830, and we along with our Ed and Read on...
Our tour of this park started with a boat ride. A large dam creates a lake and to get to the park proper we had a short boat ride to where the tourist buses wait.

Day 103 - in threes dont they? Or so they say . When you wait for one you have to wait forever then they together . I wondered if deaths came in the same way. Having lost an uncle recently I heard today that a cousin had passed away. Nothing to do with Covid 19 just old age in both of them. But like buses I wondered who might be the third one . Hopefully unlike buses it wont happen. Day 103 - a wo Read on...

The gray sky is due to smoke, and what looks like water is the floor of the Bay - the water is way off in the distance.
Now that weve been here for a whole day, our 2nd night went well because weve somewhat used to the different kind of sleeping arrangement, today is sort of a normal type of day.
The point of the RV rental this week is to learn about the RV life and whether it will be to our lik Read on...
