GritzFranzOE: September 2009
http://gritzfranzoe.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 24. The next day we spent most of our time bussing to Agrigento. Although from our map it appeared that there was a direct road of some 100k's we had a 6 hour bus ride back up to Catania and through the interior of the island. This was still quicker than the 9 hours and two changes it would have taken by train! Also famous as the setting for the closing scene of one of the Godfather movies. The local markets were also quite impressive with abundant fresh produce. The hostel we are sta...

Monday, August 31. Indian High Commission in NZ much friendlier than the one in London. Instead of hanging up on Graham, 'Raj' chatted with him for about ten minutes and assured him the visa could be processed within an hour. The passport was sent off on Saturday morning so now we're just waiting for the post to do their bit. Fingers crossed our trip might only be delayed by 5-7 days! Big thanks to Peter for handling things in Wellington! Franziska Lang and Graham Hooper. Friday, August 28. Franziska Lan...

GritzFranzOE: August 2008

Sunday, August 31. It was really good to catch up. For the long weekend, the three of us headed off to the Cotswols where we stayed in a B&B, toured some of the scenic towns and did some rural walks. One of the towns we visited was Bibury. The water in the river running through the village was really clear and you could see the trout (there is a local trout farm) waiting to be fed. The main attraction in Bibury is Adlington Terrace, a series of old cottages now owned by the National Trust. On the morning...

Wednesday, January 23. EGYPT - The 'Obstacle Course'. Mohammed, our guide, loving it. Not sure why it's called the obstacle course, maybe someone thought about joining the rocks up with ropes once or mayb it's popular with rock climbers, no idea. Wicked spot though. We spent extra time here as one of the vehicles in our convoy had broken down and some of our drivers went back to help fix it. Franziska Lang and Graham Hooper. EGYPT - Giant Mushrooms. Franziska Lang and Graham Hooper. We left New Zealand i...

GritzFranzOE: Delhi
http://gritzfranzoe.blogspot.com/2009/10/delhi.html
Tuesday, October 20. Well here we are in India and still can't quite believe it because we are too busy trying to register all that is going on in this busy, bustling yet ordered chaos! We got here very early morning on Saturday which also happened to be the day after the opening Friday of the Diwali festival - the festival of lights which is celebrated by all Indians regardless of their religion and which features candles, fairy lights and all kinds of fireworks - the louder the better! Today, via riksh...

GritzFranzOE: June 2008
http://gritzfranzoe.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 11. Well hello there everyone,. But the really exciting news and the purpose of this edition is that we have moved house! It was, adnmittedly, a bit sad leaving the flat in Enfield as that place had been really good for us the last few years. So this is just a quick note to say hi - we are still here and this blog hasn't really died out yet. I'm hoping to give it a bit of a face lift shortly! Franziska Lang and Graham Hooper.
