During my trip I have been partaking in books, comedy and music. Here's a quick review of the main Side kicks to my trip. Books: I've got through quite a few but my favourite has been 'The Kite Runner'. If you thought Afganistan was just a torn up, backwards desert filled with Taliban, Al Quaida and any other evil regime that might do you harm, you'd be wrong. 'The Kite Runner' is a well written story that describes the country before it was torn up by one m...

Dubrovnik is a tourist hell hole. I've spent the last two days trying to avoid crowds and crowds of snap happy tour groups. The ferry from Korcula was really pleasant. Some great views of the Elaphate islands, calm Adriatic sea and enough time for me to finish 'The Life of Pi'. My hostel was actually a guest house with individual beds available. I had a two bed room that I shared with a rather loud Bolivian and an extremely loud American. Next door were three ...

Another blog referencing 5am. This time wake up rather than come home. I was picked up by Janko in an old landrover discovery to make the 4 hour drive to the Tara canyon for some White Water Rafting. Yesterday, I arrived back at Slobodan's, kicked my bag into my old room, which was fast becoming my Montenegron home, and relaxed at the beach in preparation for this morning. We picked up a family, Chris, Caroline and their daughter Timara and headed on into th...
