It's been two weeks since my last entry, and right now sat in Las Vegas airport waiting for my delayed flight to San Francisco I'm not sure I'm going to remember all the details that I need to mention, or maybe I'm just a little jaded about how much I need to write to bring this blog up to date. Let's start with Hollywood as it was my first destination. I flew in Los Angeles did not spend much time there and then got a bus and then 3 trains to take me onto Holl...

With the Glacier hike ticked off my list and the decent night's sleep that followed it I was ready to move on. I continued up the west coast, the views and landscape picking up from where they had left off, as before the 3 hour drive in front of me was a world away from being any hassle. I found myself in Greymouth, not much to report there really, a very quiet town which was only a stop off point to spend the night. There is nothing too much of interest about ...

As I got off the bus the driver pointed me in the general direction I needed to go, probably about a mi...

Needless to say I didn't accomplish much, I just went shopping for food I would later cook for my tea (and spent a fortune on not a lot) The hostel was nice and relaxed and when I found out the surfboards were free to use for residents staying there I hoped I would get the chance to get on one (in the sea). The following day, the sun was out, I was lookin...

I embarked on my longest bus journey since my trip began, I am tempted to tell you how horrible it was with no sleep and what seemed to take an eternity. However, I have spoken to other fellow travellers who have done a 33 hour bus trip from Sydney to Mackay so I don't feel it's really justified. In addition to this, I managed to sleep on and off for about 4 or 5 hours so it could have been worse. It's not something you would look forward to, but then it's not ...
