Wow, the last week is a blur in my mind. I’ve seen a large swath of the country in about six days, and encountered some wonderful people. I’ve been able to see a little bit of what makes this country great. I can’t [...]
Tales from a Broad #14Casterton – TownsvilleMonday, June 25, 2001
So, Phil and I left Casterton at around 10:30 am on Saturday and had to be in Townsville by Monday night. We had less than three days to drive more than 3000 km. Yikes. Heading North-East back where we came from, and then straight North from Shepparton, Phil and [...]

Tales from a Broad #9Cambodia: Phnom Penh to Koh KongFriday, November 17, 2000
Lots of traveling has been had since we last spoke, many miles on water and land. Sometimes you forget how fast the time goes, the day of the week or the month even. Pathetic.
We last met when Chris and I were about to leave [...]

Greetings, I’m still in Phnom Penh, although we leave tomorrow for the beaches.
But first, back to Siem Reap. When I woke up the next day after my hell journey, I quickly figured out that Siem Reap was nothing special. It’s a very small, dusty [...]

Tales from a Broad #4Khon Kaen, ThailandTuesday, October 17, 2000
Greetings from what can only be described as the armpit of Thailand. Okay, maybe I’m being a bit harsh, but you know when you enter a place and you just don’t get a good vibe at all? I’m having that vibe, so much so that after I [...]

Greetings again from Chiang Mai. I’ve been out of contact in the wilds of Laos for the last couple of weeks and unable to email because it’s brutally expensive to email in the middle of the jungle. So, in an effort to give you [...]
