Are we nearly there yet?: October 2010
http://arewenearlythereyet-2010.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Are we nearly there yet? Saturday, 30 October 2010. October 6th-8th, days 173-175, Taman Negara National Park, Malaysia. We stay in a small town on the edge of a large national park, an area of ancient rainforest. The attraction here is the availabiloty of hiking in the jungle. The one everyone went on was to the rope bridges suspended between trees right up in canopy, giving a unique vantage point on the beauty of the jungle, not to mention an Indiana Jones-esqe feeling of adventure. I had been looking ...

Are we nearly there yet?: May 2010
http://arewenearlythereyet-2010.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Are we nearly there yet? Thursday, 27 May 2010. Independence Day and Two Birthdays. 23rd May, day 36, around Telavi, Georgia. We leave our nice comfy homestay and set out to a nearby bushcamp. The morning is spent exploring (or rather, hobbling round) the town. Very small town with not much to see. Tonight we arrive a beautiful spot not far from Telavi for a 2-night bushcamp. This will be my first camp since the toe incident, and I've decided to lose the plaster. We'll see how it goes. A group of us have...

Are we nearly there yet?: March 2010

Are we nearly there yet? Wednesday, 24 March 2010. On Sunday 18th April 2010, I will be heading off into unknown territory with a group of about 20 like-minded people. What started out as a simple plan to visit Australia has grown into something much more adventurous - to get there with as little flying as possible. I sometimes think to myself "Why do I want to do this? Finally some appropriate song lyrics come to mind:. I too, live inside me, and very often don't know who I am" (Van der Graaf Generator).

Are we nearly there yet?: June 2010

Are we nearly there yet? Thursday, 17 June 2010. 11th June, day 55, in Khiva, Uzbekistan. It's an early start to the guided tour of Khiva today, it needs to finish by about 11am because only mad dogs and Englishmen are out in the mid-day sun, and the tour takes a few hours to do. 12th June, day 56, Khiva - Bukhara, Uzbekistan. A half-days drive through endless flat boring irrigation. The irrigation system in Ukbekistan is immense, it's really no wonder the Aral Sea is empty, and it occurs to me that ...

Are we nearly there yet? Friday, 23 April 2010. Day 5 - In Prague, Czech Republic. It was a very early and frosty start from Bamberg. There was ice on the outside of the tent, and my sleeping bag was only just up to the challenge. I'm not really worried about that - they days are warm and this is the coldest part of the trip. Will compose a more detailed post when I'm not clocking up the money in a web cafe. Wednesday, 21 April 2010. Sunday 18th April, day 1. London, England - Tournai, Belgium. After bre...
