It's 8:30 and its still light. Lisa has just ducked in to a place called muller to get a better hair brush I'm people watching. I'm in some sort of public square in Zagreb seems to have markets and shops. Finally Lisa is out of the shop. Tomorrow Plitvice National...

Just arrived off the train to Zagreb Croatia from Ljubljana it's 11:31AM. Ironically we are staying for one night in "Hotel Central Zagreb" not to be confused with Hotel Center Ljubljana which we stayed in whilst in Ljubljana Slovenia. Haven't looked around at the...

Sitting outside Zlata Ribica Restaurant just finished my Venison. Lisa tucking into a fish plate that included (shudder) Frogs Legs. The Church Bells are tolling at the moment (although I can't figure out why they are excited it's 6:15PM). This is a University Town...

I Love Ljubljana! The people are friendly, they mostly can all speak English along with native Slovene. If you say Hello they switch to English without blinking an eye. The city is organized and the people add to that order. Bus Transport from Airport modern and...

We went to see a Church the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Paris (the name sounds better in French Basilique du Sacré-Cœur, Paris on butte Monmartre) it was on a big hill and we climbed to the top of the churches tower which was over 300 steps. Good panoramic views...

Yesterday our first visit was to the Musée Rodin, you know, the guy that sculptured the famous "Thinker" statute. We had a tour through the Museum Gardens (Jardins) and had a good time checking out the statutes. He was a talented guy. We also did the obligatory trip...

So Paris is nothing like Sydney. The bus ride from the Airport showed me modern Paris and like all big cities there was miles and miles of industrial parks and motorways. After a "sortie" from our accommodation I feel I must repent in dust and ashes. To think that I...

Just got to our accomodation in Paris. It's quite nice actually. It's in one one of those old buildings that has been retro fitted for the modern era. It's got interesting plumbing and electrical. But it also has wifi so I'm happy. I haven't seen much of Paris as yet....

Just arrived in Hong Kong. The approach was really beautiful the lights of the city and the interspersed clouds made me feel like a mythological god looking down on humanity. Hong Kong airport is big, modern and organized. Despite me being a nervous traveler, the...

After several months of preparations I have half a day of work to go before we head to Sydney and fly to Paris to begin our 6 week European Vacation. I think I will divert this blog for a few weeks from the predominately IT/Linux postings and try my Lonely Planet...
