Wollongong, New South Wales

Hello all, I've finally done something with my pictures from my holiday way back when (it was to Ireland, Romania and a few points in-between if you've since forgotten. It WAS a fair while ago...). You can see the best of the best at: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=63966&id=543043408&ref=share. It's apparently still viewa…

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

If you recall, last blog I had a discussion with myself (well, no-one else is reading these things) regarding on whether people should go to Romania or not. I can tell you one place you defini…

Sibiu, Romania

This website is anti-Romanian. There are absolutely no photos of it in their library. But just what would appear: a blocked footpath on account of the parked cars? A couple of fat blokes in…

Hi there! I'm still in Romania, presently enjoying a rest day on account of all the wonderous things I've been doing lately. I flew here from Brussels on Blue Air - a discount carrier that I…

Bucharest, Romania

There seems to be something funny going on with internet cafes in Romania - there aren't any. Or rather, I should so "many", 'cause I've finally found one (and I can't imagine it be…

Michelle Tomlins Hi Michael, Glad to see you are having a wonderful time on your holiday. Wish we could be there with you. Hope you sent a postcard this holiday and we would like a present. Hope to see you at Amanda's in a few weeks. Love your cousin Michelle.

Montse Hi Michael, I only just realised there is a message board feature on this blog. I came here expecting a Netherlandic update, but there's nothing! Anyway, hurry up and blog :) Montse

Suzan Verhagen Hi Michael, I've finally read all your travel stories, and it took me about 45 minutes or so. I've never been in Ireland, but I really like to visit it someday. You don't really seem enthousiastic about it, but maybe that's because you're an Aussie, and you've seen much nicer places in your one country. Anyway, I've enjoyed reading your blog!! I think it's very funny,and you should become a comedian : ) I don't understand why there only 2 people who've written on your message board, so I thought I should write something. What did you do in the Netherlands so far, because you haven't wrote about the past few days yet. Anyway, I'll find out tomorrow, when we'll meet each other. I'm really looking forward to it!! I hope you'll enjoy 'the Efteling' as much as I always do. The weather is gonna be fine, so I think we're pretty lucky. Tomorrow evening, you'll have to watch soccer with us, because Holland's in the quarter-final, as you presumably know. Well, that's it for now. Seeya in 12 hours!! Suzan

Paul Metcalf Michael, Good to hear from you. Best of luck on your latest round the world adventure. You surely have done more travelling than most people I know! Post some more photos if you can. And glad to hear you managed to down a pint of Guiness (spelling?). Give me a call or email when you get back. Best regards, Paul

Ursula Hey! Didn't know you were off to travel again... Ireland, wow! A country I'd love to go to but up until now it just never happened. But it's really high up in my favorites list. How long are you going to travel? And "just" Ireland or are you going to other countries as well? Hope, you'll be back down under when I'm heading there in August though Looking forward to some pics of yours and to your blog update. Enjoy Ireland and drink a Guiness for me in the meantime! cu Ursula
