The Travelling Kiwis

[Jon]

We left NZ on the 5th and flew into Hong Kong for 2 days then onto Switzerland where we are now. Switzerland is great with lots of quaint houses. yesterday we went up Mt Pilatus by cable car and came back down by cog train which was at 45 degrees. We are off to Prauge tomorrow.
There are 2 photos of Hong Kong taken from the same spot but at diiferent times of the day. The other pictures are of Switzerland.
Carry on working you guys while we have fun

 

[Nick]

Should have done that Paul but it wouldn't be worth the drama
The next door neighbour has the key if you want to come up and replace the flooring while we are away.
There certainly are a lot of chocalate shops here but havent tried any yet.

 

[Jon]

We are in Budapest now and this is our home for the next 21 days.
Its real tough eat, walk a bit, eat, eat
The other pictures are Budapest. Budapest is really old history with plenty of old buildings with plenty of gold inside

 

[Jon]

Anyone know where we were the other day?
Wonder if Tia can guess?

When will your travel book come out?
Is that just a tour boat or does it have sleeping quarters? Sure is a long one but doesn't seem all that wide.
Appears you are having too much fun.

The cabins are from the middle going towards the stern. We are in a cabin about 3 from the back on the second deck. There are also cabins with windows just above the water line. I think 140 passengers

You are correct

How many days long is this trip Jon? Are you getting tired of restaurant food? Are Siberia, Greenland or Antarctica on the agenda or are those for the next trip?

And if it sinks you just stand on the top deck so you can keep your feet dry. The top row of cabins will stay dry as the rivers aren't very deep
Wouldnt want to be in the lower cabins though

 

[TNT]

They have a mock-up of the Statue of Liberty in Paris? Who knew!
