Ubud
Our first day in Ubud we hung out. The next day we went to Monkey forest. There were tons of monkeys there. A little too many. There were monkeys eating bananas, and coconuts that the people who worked there gave to them. One monkey stole a huge bundle of bananas and was stuffing them in […]
Nepal Trekking
Day one After a day in Pokhara we took a mini van up to a small village where we started our trek. About half way into it I suddenly started up a story called “The Adventures of Timothy Mouse” which I had to stop at the end of the trek. The first day was pretty […]
Big Brother Mouse and COPE

After a long time (seemed longed because we were carrying our enormous packs) we were very tired. Dad spotted a sign for […]

Emma, Bjorn and I wore the santa hats that I bought at the Euro store in Athens. The guards obviously thought this was quite amusing […]
Plakias
We arrived in Plakias in our rental car which we got in Heraklion. At first we had a little trouble finding an apartment to stay. Since it was winter most of the hotels and apartments were closed, and Bjorn and I wanted a place by the beach. We finally got a place a little bit […]
