Europe 2008-09
http://paulandjanita.blogspot.com/2009/02/17-february-holy-grail-again-few-days.html
A record of our experiences travelling through Europe by car and compervan for 5 months from September 2008 to February 2009. Thursday, 19 February 2009. Today and yesterday were positively summery for this part of the world. Today we had lunch in the beer garden of the local at Roslin. Sun beating down. Daffodils and other bulbs were shooting in the gardens. True, early spring weather. Spain We saw it! In a way, we had been looking forward to some 'harsh Scottish' weather this week. For most of our ...
Europe 2008-09: October 2008
http://paulandjanita.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
A record of our experiences travelling through Europe by car and compervan for 5 months from September 2008 to February 2009. Thursday, 30 October 2008. Where are the Trevants? Dresden is probably more famous for what it is now than what it was. The beautiful old city centre was obliterated in 1945 by one of the most intensive fire bombings of the war. Last time we were here, 2000, the city was still rebuilding, more than 50 years after its destruction. Even then, it was spectacular! Meissen for example&...

http://paulandjanita.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
A record of our experiences travelling through Europe by car and compervan for 5 months from September 2008 to February 2009. Sunday, 22 February 2009. After almost exactly 5 months, its almost time to go home. Today is our last full day in London and this will probably be the last blogg we write on the road. It has been 12 – 13 C here and we find that very comfortable for walking about. Add another 20C to that and we are going to suffer until we re-acclimatise. Thursday, 19 February 2009. Today and yest...
Europe 2008-09: December 2008
http://paulandjanita.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
A record of our experiences travelling through Europe by car and compervan for 5 months from September 2008 to February 2009. Thursday, 25 December 2008. Off to Morocco tomorrow, so Christmas doesn't mean anything like as much as it does at home. We miss being with family, although we were able to Skype our mums and of our house-sitter, Amanda, last night and video-talk with Ben, Jennifer and Abby this morning . Hopefully talk to James and Lizzie tomorrow morning. Spaniards have all the creativity and fr...

A record of our experiences travelling through Europe by car and compervan for 5 months from September 2008 to February 2009. Thursday, 27 November 2008. However, put them behind the wheel of anything that is self-propelled and they go crazy! The further south you go, the worse they get. In fact, in the north they have become extremely courteous and patient. Coming into Messina in Sicily today was a madhouse, only equalled in our experience by Istanbul and Saigon! 24 November – 25 November. Despite all t...

Three Continents 2011: Scotalnd 1: The Quest for Mungo
http://threecontinents2011.blogspot.com/2011/05/scotalnd-1-quest-for-mungo.html
A three month journey through South Africa, the UK, Ireland and Japan. Saturday, May 7, 2011. Scotalnd 1: The Quest for Mungo. Scotland, the home of the 'penny pinchers'. Imagine watching a show called “Super Scrimpers” in Scotland. Then think about how we travel. Some days, we do live a little rough, but not tonight! Zero Sure, everybody wants different things out of travel. But for us, camping by the beach, for free, on a warm and sunny afternoon beats a night in a $300 a night flash room hands down.

Three Continents 2011: February 2011
http://threecontinents2011.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
A three month journey through South Africa, the UK, Ireland and Japan. Monday, February 28, 2011. 26 February, Lower Sabie Camp Kruger NP. A troupe of baboons wandered along the perimeter fence this morning. It was almost as though the parents were taking the kids out to the 'people zoo'. Cute. But we are just about over it with the lower primates! Luckily for them they didn't get to the beer. That might have been terminal! From the deck of our safari tent this afternoon, we have a fantastic view over th...

Three Continents 2011: March 2011
http://threecontinents2011.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
A three month journey through South Africa, the UK, Ireland and Japan. Monday, March 28, 2011. On Leaving South Africa. The day before the wedding. South Africa – a Review. Africa. Africa is the real key for us trying to understand what we have experienced in this diverse, beautiful, engaging, puzzling and, in many ways, contradictory country. In many ways, we have thought of South Africa as much like home - Australia. They play rugby, cricket and they speak English. The South Africans we know ar...This ...

Three Continents 2011: Heading Home
http://threecontinents2011.blogspot.com/2011/05/heading-home.html
A three month journey through South Africa, the UK, Ireland and Japan. Monday, May 30, 2011. After a couple of pleasant days in London with relatives, we are waiting for our flight at Heathrow. Yesterday we had a leisurely day in the City, catching up with more family over a long lunch at a Covent Garden Pub. Later we took in a matinee performance of the Christie classic “The Mousetrap”, now in its 59th year. We attended the 24,372. Performance. This is a must-do experience in London. After all those yea...

Three Continents 2011: More Ireland adventures
http://threecontinents2011.blogspot.com/2011/05/more-ireland-adventures.html
A three month journey through South Africa, the UK, Ireland and Japan. Wednesday, May 4, 2011. In the Hills - Clogheen. Hopefully, when the “Celebrity Eclipse” leaves, it will have a safe passage, unlike mega cruise ships of the past. Cobh was the last port of call for both the Titanic and the Lusitania which sank out in the Atlantic on their passage to America. The traffic is reversed for a while as the tourists spilled into Cobh. Who knows what will happen now as Ireland works to recover from a fin...

Three Continents 2011: Saucy Mary & the Stealth Campers
http://threecontinents2011.blogspot.com/2011/05/saucy-mary-stealth-campers.html
A three month journey through South Africa, the UK, Ireland and Japan. Tuesday, May 10, 2011. Saucy Mary and the Stealth Campers. Just got back from the Isle Of Skye. It's often not the big ticket attractions that catch our interest. On Skye, we were dazzled by the scenery, as you would expect on yet another couple of near perfect days, but it was Saucy Mary and the Stealth Camper that really caught our interest. What about the Stealth Camper, you are thinking? Well there is absolutely no connection to S...

Three Continents 2011: The Vortex
http://threecontinents2011.blogspot.com/2011/05/vortex.html
A three month journey through South Africa, the UK, Ireland and Japan. Monday, May 16, 2011. It's only about 18 months ago that we spent a week in Edinburgh, so this was just a nostalgic visit. We wandered the streets and picked up on a couple of things we missed last trip. Mary King's Close was the most interesting - a real step back into the past to the now-buried streets of 17. Century Edinburgh. Even though it's a bit of a touristy attraction, it is largely authentic and worth a visit. Family links a...

Three Continents 2011: Family links and The Bruce
http://threecontinents2011.blogspot.com/2011/05/family-links-and-bruce.html
A three month journey through South Africa, the UK, Ireland and Japan. Friday, May 13, 2011. Family links and The Bruce. Scone was the coronation place of the Kings of Scotland. At some stage, the English took the Stone to London and it became the 'seat' of coronation for English Kings. Now that the Stone of Scone has been returned to Scotland, all is well. At the moment! There is a story here though! Bannockburn was a battle where the raw courage of the Scots won out over the superior numbers of the Eng...

Paul and Jane
Fun With Paul and Jane. Monday, March 18, 2013. The newest member of the Paul LaClaire family is here! She arrived on October 14, 2012 at 11:24pm. She was 7 pounds 2 ounces and 20 inches long. Now I understand this post is little late, knowing that Brooklyn is now a little over 5 months old . but hey, better late then never they always say, right? Brooklyn is a wonderful addition to our family. She is so adorable, and always has us smiling. Sooo fun having a baby during the Holidays! Brooklyn just turned...

Paul and Jane in Zambia
Paul and Jane in Zambia. The blog of two VSO volunteers, based at the Chodort Training College, Choma, Zambia. Sunday, 28 April 2013. We took Lizzie, Tori and Joe to the airport (sad day) on Sunday evening and then moved house on Tuesday morning - no problem - no pressure there then! Our first day - temporary furnishings for now. We soon settled in and enjoyed finding homes for everything. And is light and airy with cream tiles throughout and freshly painted white walls. The garden, well, when we moved i...

Paul and Janet
Monday, August 22, 2011. Just gotta tell you about this one. We spent a few days in northern Uganda at a beautiful national park called Murchinson Falls. Beautiful place as you can tell from these pictures. The power of the Nile river as it descends down a very narrow gorge is breathtaking. But the story is about another God moment. We had some issues with our vehicle. Hired a park ranger one morning to guide us on a beautiful early morning game drive. Just so happened that one of our engine belts had br...

Langkawi - 40th Wedding Anniversary
Langkawi - 40th Wedding Anniversary. Tuesday, December 16, 2014. 29 November, Berjaya Hotel, Times Square, Kuala Lumpur. This trip was to celebrate our 40. Wedding anniversary and the last two nights are our special treat. Rather than the usual 2 star to 3 star hotels, we are in the centre of downtown KL in a 5 star. A nice luxury for a couple of nights. And luxury it is. The bathroom is bigger than many hotels we have stayed in. Seriously! 1 December, KLIA2 awaiting Flt D7 206. So here we are again in K...

Myanmar (Burma) 2015
Sunday, November 29, 2015. Up the Irrawaddy to Mandalay. 21 November, Mandalay. After some serious banging on the back door of the Reception area, we finally roused our man and were on our way. Crew almost outnumbered passengers as we set off at 5:00am. As usual, Australians made up the bulk of our travelling companions. The very much “old Asia” streets of Mandalay. 22 November 2015, Mandalay. We obviously never learn! The walk out to the Royal Palace is rather pleasant, particularly if done in the early...

Thailand 2016
Tuesday, March 1, 2016. 26 February, Kanchanaburi. Kanchanaburi was a major staging point on the Thai-Burma railway constructed by the Japanese in 1943. An estimated 100,000 men died constructing this line - around 90,000 conscripted workers from South-east Asia and 12,800 Allied POWs from Britain, Australia, the Netherlands as well as a small number of Americans. 27 February, Kanchanaburi Railway Station. We are returning to Bangkok today after a morning spent at the Burma Railway Museum and the Allied ...
