Delays and Mishaps…

Robert — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 21:27:09 +0000

I’m not quite sure where to start this blog so I’ll start in Botswana where I made the choice to go back to Victoria Falls ‘the other way’… I’d visited the Zimbabwean side of the falls and wanted to go to the Zambian side on my way to Malawi back east. From where I was in Maun centralwestern Botswana it’s about 900kms and a days bus travel east and north. Easy. The other way is via the

Hi AllSorry for the delay in updating my blog once again. I have been busy trying to reflect on the two weeks since being back.The duration of the mission trip required team members to immerse themselves in many different situations and tasks. The first seven days as mentioned in my previous blog was spend in Rwanda where we participated in rural development projects including funding and wor

I don’t like Mondays

So much for a short flat ride into Montpellier along the Mediterranean coastline. Whilst I did see the sea for a short while it was unfortunately brief amid 95 miles or so of rather unpleasant roads into a fairly persistant breeze. This won’t mean too much to too many but for about 15 miles or so I was riding with a 3421 on the flat and struggling I think I slightly pulled a muscle in my ne

Day 1 June 14 Finally Florence

The flight in was gorgeous. We saw the Swiss Alps and the rolling hills of Tuscany from the air. Originally we had planned to fly into Rome and I had not been looking forward to navigating that airport. I am so glad we decided to fly into Florence because after about 22 hours straight of travel landing in Florencersquos Peretola Airport was a dream. I was anticipating a long waits for the tra

Prologue to Italy Hacking the Packing

We were scheduled to leave for Italy on Sunday June 13 at 9am. Given that I had been planning this trip for about five years seriously planning it for 18 months and that trip planning and preparation had been my only hobby for about six months we should have been ready. But of course we werenrsquot. As always the day before the trip was a rush of chaos and confusion.Now the chaos wasnrsquo

Paris France Day 3

Day 3 was another great day in Paris. We started the day with a Starbucks and took the metro to Centre Pompidou museum. Despite not being a big fan of modern art particularly installation pieces this museum was pretty fun. It was very entertaining and each collection was interesting to explore. The museum also had a nice collection of Picasso Matisse and a single Dali on display. We spent

"How Do You Have So Much Energy"

I was with my tandom partner Erika the other day and she asked me what I wanted to do. I said Whatever you want to do and she asked me How do you have so much energy I’ve been very busy since I got here last week. I spent a couple of days in Budapest with my tandom partner and on Saturday I went to a city in the country side of Hungary called Pecs. Erika has a sister there so we stayed

Celebrating Ramadan in Amman

Robert — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 21:27:09 +0000

This country seems to have it all. History desserts seas and an extremely close proximity to other middle eastern nations. Most memorable seems to be their sense of ingrained hospitality and honesty that runs true to the Middle Eastern and Bedouin traditions of the Jordanian people. However the Jordanian market sellers and touts are extremely creative with their advertisements. To our am
