09/08 Hi Everyone, I apologise for not being in contact but you will understand when I tell you that I am now at the end of a three and a half week journey through Venezuela where access to the Internet is very limited and there are not too many terminals in the jungle! I write from Manuas, Brazil where it is currently 106 degrees! I can not post my photos today as I am preparing to fly to Sao Paulo and onto Santiago tonight. I should get some time whilst in C...

Hi Everyone, Onward to Las Vegas, this is the bottom leg of our journey around the Western United States. The temperature shot up as we headed towards the Nevada desert and theTpulsating oasis that is Las Vegas, but first we visited the Hoover Dam. When we arrived the outside temperature had reached 114 degrees and felt like you had a hair dryer blowing full on into your face. The Dam tour was quite good but was more of a relief than anything else as you could ...

We have found yet another fantastic Motel, I know I keep saying that but honestly, but honestly this one is straight out of your most vivid imagination! Parkway Motel, East State Street, P.O.Box 52, Orderville, Utah is the place and Dixie is the hos...

25/06 Hi Everyone, Reluctantly we left our cabin and ventured into the southern part of Yellowstone Park. Both of us agree that this is far more attractive than Yosemite and much easier to get around. It is also very different, our aim today is to see Yellowstone Lake and surrounding areas, before visiting Old Faithful and then leave the park via the western Exit/Entrance. From there we have a six hour drive in order to get as near as possible to Salt Lake City...
