100th Blog Entry

This is my 100th blog entry. It seems kind of fitting as the journey, or original journey I should say, is pretty much over. I will continue to make entries to the blog but they will obviously be less travel oriented and more of a regular everyday blog. That will mean more interesting entries but less pictures, so make do with these last few from my trip…

Discovery Bay boats

Down to the beach

Mt brother takes a stroll down Seahorse Lane

Cages being made at the bird market in Mongkok

    Steve- After yucking it up at pics of you on your blog we’ve decided there’s just not enough of YOU! Dont get me wrong- we love the post unpacking pictures- your sleeping bag and guitar really gave us a thrill- we could look at them all day - but give us something. We miss your sense of humor- just looking at you makes us laugh ( you know what we mean) WE MISS STEVO!!!!! your bro looks just like you. crazy. and we’ve made an executive decision that you have to get rid of that shirt. You know which one we’re talking about. Time for a new wardrobe- right after you get that bank account stuff figured out. Love you Tons. Give us a call is you get a chance.

    I agree: more pics of “Stevo.” :) But I love the gear pics too…..the contrast between the gear mess and the brand new carpeting is great!

    Hi Robin and Beth,

    Well, there just ain’t that many pics of me to post so I put up what I can. Nice sarcasm about the sleeping bag and guitar tho, I liked that, with sarcasm skills like that you would fit right in here in the UK, the home of sarcasm!

    Get rid of what shirt….the grandad one with no collar…yeah it will go soon enough. I have nicer clothes here that I left behind and only took essentials abroad so it is nice to wear smart shirts and pants again.

    Keep posting on the blog, it doesn’t get enough posts from readers.

    Enjoy the rest of your time in NZ and Fiji too.

    Some people say that when you travel, you must adopt a nomadic approach to the things you take with you. Looking at the stuff strewn over that bed, I’m inclined to ask what things you found the most useful. And the things you didn’t use as much as you thought you would. The stuff you picked up, and what you left behind.

    All my junk arrived from the UK a few weeks back. That was interesting - kinda like having your past delivered to you on a shipping pallet! Anyway, that’s about as far away from nomadic as you can get.

    Spose I better get that green card app started soon…….

    Oh yeah, that’s a bummer about Tommy Vance - unfortunately coincidental after you posting about him. It’s been a bad time for Radio 1 recently.
