BenkyonoBen: January 2012
http://benkyonoben.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
From snapshots of Japanese oddities, festivals and daily life, to motorbike touring, backpacking and camping. A travel diary for friends and family, but hopefully with a minimum of navel-gazing. Still no waffles. Tuesday, January 17, 2012. So many people to see, so much time to see them in. How did we manage to make it seem difficult? I dont seem to have a single picture with James, Jonny, Bano, Emma or Iain in it either, which sucks. And then we spent 5 months in the UK. Location: Tel Aviv, Israel.

From snapshots of Japanese oddities, festivals and daily life, to motorbike touring, backpacking and camping. A travel diary for friends and family, but hopefully with a minimum of navel-gazing. Still no waffles. Saturday, July 21, 2012. Piano di Sorrento, Amalfi and Capri. Anyway, the place we'd booked on the strength of ridiculously good reviews. The views on the road to Amalfi are nicer than the town itself. The church is Amalfi's main highlight, along with the narrow, windy whitewashed alleyways.

Still no waffles. Saturday, July 21, 2012. Rome and pope country. Not a word of apology, some mumbled excuse about an internet booking and we were out on the street. Still, in the two days we had there we saw quite a lot of impressive sights, some of which are pictured below:. No visit to Rome would be complete w...

Still no waffles. Saturday, August 04, 2012. Didac replied to our last-minute couch request and gave us a place to stay before the start of the Valencia Fallas. For helping me check that that semicolon wasn't misplaced. Station we needed to get up the mountain. The look on the tourist information desk's staff...

Still no waffles. Monday, August 06, 2012. Fallas is probably the pyromaniacs dream festival. Hundreds of huge paper, wax, wood and polystyrene constructions are built up around the city. Every day a ridiculous number of fireworks and firecrackers are let off and on the last night everything. Rock, Paper Shotgun.
