Walkabout Time: Cambodia - Dirt bikes and landmines
http://walkabouttime.blogspot.com/2011/06/cambodia-dirt-bikes-and-landmines.html
Thursday, June 2, 2011. Cambodia - Dirt bikes and landmines. The day after Stephanie gave me the dirtbike idea I cycled over to Hidden Cambodia. She pointed us to a food place - food sounds a bit like nyum if I heard right, very appropriate! And with full bellies it was time to sleep by 9pm. We were up by six and after a breakfast of rice, motored over to the Koh Ker ruins. The place was littered with signs every kilometre advising us that we were passing through cleared minefields! Coast to coast in SA.

Walkabout Time: May 2011
http://walkabouttime.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 29, 2011. Holiday in Cambodia - Angkor Wat. At which point I would alert them to the fact I have a bicycle. They normally follow that by asking if I want 'boomboom' and when that fails the next offers follow swiftly, advising that they can get. It would all be quite amusing if it wasn't for the fact that this is repeated about every twenty metres in the evening! Time for some motorised fun again (Man I miss the Fireblade). Saturday, May 14, 2011. Having done no research on Thailand and leavin...

Walkabout Time: Malaria and cargo boats
http://walkabouttime.blogspot.com/2011/01/malaria-and-cargo-boats.html
Wednesday, January 12, 2011. Malaria and cargo boats. The story of how I got to Uganda and discovered the real Malaria! Every bump was acutely felt in my back and neck and together with my feeling cold resulted in the sulk of all sulks on the last few hours of that run. Eventually we arrived at Arusha where I forked out the extra for a normal taxi cab and was taken to a very nice place called Maasai camp. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Helpful sites for travel.

Walkabout Time: Uganda - Gorillas and waterfalls!
http://walkabouttime.blogspot.com/2011/01/uganda-gorillas-and-waterfalls.html
Thursday, January 27, 2011. Uganda - Gorillas and waterfalls! Once in Uganda I settled down just outside Kampala in a hostel called Red Chilli Hideaway. It was time to start work on getting my gorilla tracking permit. I headed to the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) and began checking things out - luckily I was being careful as the first date they tried to give me a permit for, the only accomodation in the area was a massive $60 per night! 29 January, 2011 23:46. 30 January, 2011 19:23. I am running out o...

Walkabout Time: Return to Thailand: Ko Tao
http://walkabouttime.blogspot.com/2011/06/return-to-thailand-ko-tao.html
Monday, June 13, 2011. Return to Thailand: Ko Tao. On arrival in Bangkok I headed straight down to Chumpon on the overnight bus - mission: Rescue diver course. I arrived tired after a sleepless ride at around 4am and managed to get on a link bus to the pier at six in the morning. By around eight I was on a small ferry and heading to Ko Tao with the sun blazing and the sea calm and blue - time for a nap on deck! No sooner had I drifted off than I had my first nice surprise! Emboldened by their apparent fe...

Walkabout Time: December 2010
http://walkabouttime.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 21, 2010. North to Nkhata Bay - Malawi. The next day was much better and while still tired I regained my appetite somewhat making me very glad as the dive course was due to start the next day. Thanks mum and dad for the genes, as if it was malaria I appear to have kicked it in record time! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Helpful sites for travel. Coast to coast in SA.

Walkabout Time: October 2010
http://walkabouttime.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 17, 2010. Leaving Zim for now. Apologies for the long break since I last wrote, internet supply has been spotty at best but I am now in a hostel located in Blantyre, Malawi and about to head north to Monkey Bay for the teaching project. I developed a taste for Masese locally known as Scud (the name for the containers it comes in. The stuff can be very mild but at times when you get an older one is pretty strong too, very filling though - almost a food as well as a drink! And my final and ...

Walkabout Time: July 2010

Monday, July 19, 2010. T-23 and counting. . . Ooh look I got the map to work! Well here we are, 23 days left. I am on night shift at the moment so getting ready to head in to work but it IS the last night shift for a year, so Hurrah! One vaccination left to do in a couple of weeks, lots of money things to sort out and finally some nights out to celebrate imminent departure. Doing some research now to plan my first few stops using an excellent site I found: Man in seat 61. Monday, July 12, 2010. Once in Z...

Walkabout Time: August 2010
http://walkabouttime.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 28, 2010. Coffee Bay the closest I got to paradise yet! That day I also had one of my high points when I stumbled across a small shop which had a freezer and in it. . .some mincemeat! No idea what animal it was and I guess I didnt care - It was time to put the curry powder to good use! There were two guys working the bar and doing surf lessons locally, slightly mad Afrikaaners enjoying life to the full while they could! The one with less holes of course! This trip was faster than the inc...
