Little Rabbit's Planet: Day 574: Boso No Mura
http://www.littlerabbitsplanet.com/2012/10/day-574-boso-no-mura.html
Friday, 26 October 2012. Day 574: Boso No Mura. The reconstructed rural idyll. The real 21st century thing. That's a little cemetery in the background, at a crossroads. This is a burial mound I passed on the way. It turns out there are about 100 in the immediate area but this is one of the largest. Looking towards the reconstructed merchant's street at boso no mura. The farmhouse kitchen with views into the living area and workroom. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). About Little Rabbit's Planet. We're ...

Little Rabbit's Planet: September 2012
http://www.littlerabbitsplanet.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, 20 September 2012. Days 536-538 and 543-544: Chengdu. The new 'old' street and high rises in the background. The high rises aren't hazy because it's a bad photo - this is really how everything looks. More old and new. Antonia picks out her next book in Chinese in Chengdu's pedestrian shopping centre (ahem! And led us through the museum at a jogging pace. As usual, I felt we could have done with another couple of hours and Antonia got really into drawing the pandas but kept getting interrupt...

Little Rabbit's Planet: October 2012

Tuesday, 30 October 2012. But today I'm going to the cinema. It takes longer to pick out a movie when you don't understand a word of the cinema's website. Here is what Google Translate said about the movie I chose: Fuse. Her for the first time. Draw the blood of. Story of a girl. To be honest, I'm not quite sure how she did it or where he went to in the end because the solution was embodied in a letter. Too bad for me, obviously speaking the language would help.

Little Rabbit's Planet: August 2012
http://www.littlerabbitsplanet.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Friday, 31 August 2012. Day 518: Hoa Lu and Tam Coq. Landscape around Hoa Lu. Entrance to the tunnel under a karst hill. Waterway through the karst hills. Hoa Lu is 2 hours out from Hanoi, not too bad for a day trip. Keen cyclists shouldn't get their hopes up about the advertised bike ride. It was pretty short. Links to this post. Sunday, 26 August 2012. Days 507 to 513: Hue. South gate of the Imperial City, where you pay. The citadel is bigger, extends around it and contains houses, cafes, shops, etc.

Monday, 23 July 2012. Days 477 to 479: Mekong Delta Tour. A typical Vietnamese rest stop. Links to this post. Friday, 20 July 2012. Day 476: Ho Chi Minh City. This is the bus from Phnom Penh to Ho Chi Minh City at a quite nice cafe stop just before the border. The border crossing was very smooth and easy with the Mekong Express bus crew having everything well in hand. Just go where you're told! The alley my hotel is on. Nice and quiet. The obligatory phallic skyscraper. Links to this post. I waited twent...

Little Rabbit's Planet: November 2012
http://www.littlerabbitsplanet.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 6 November 2012. Day 585: The Last Visa. So there you are - unless something goes drastically wrong, I'm coming home through Siberia in the winter, and adding South Korea and Germany to my list of visited countries (very briefly). Countries visited over 21 months:. United States of America (inc Hawaii and American Samoa). It feels like there should be more than that! Also it feels very strange that it's coming to an end. Oh well, tomorrow I'm off to see some more anime. Links to this post. The S...

Thursday, 28 June 2012. Days 452 to 454: Singapore. Some of Costa Sands Resort from the verandah of our block. We found a place to stay in Singapore that's only 99 Singapore dollars a night! The swimming pool at sunset. Antonia swam a full kilometre in this pool (with rests) so she gets bragging rights! You would really have to live here. Hall of the 100 Buddhas. Buddhas, up to the fourth (or is it third? Floor into the room of eight (or is it twelve? The bike says it's from Nottingham. Links to this post.

Little Rabbit's Planet: 100 THINGS
http://www.littlerabbitsplanet.com/p/100-things.html
I decided to base my packing list for our indefinitely long journey on Dave Bruno's 100 Things Challenge. With attachment so it fits on a belt. Suitable for urban life, holds portable office stuff and slides into daypack for easier carrying. Was meant as a pencil case, holds most of the smaller electronics stuff. Has straps, so it can be carried as a backpack, for short distances anyway. 6 Cloth shopping/beach bag. Useful for shopping, carrying your laundry or taking your stuff to the pool or beach.

Little Rabbit's Planet: LOCATIONS
http://www.littlerabbitsplanet.com/p/location.html
Where we are now. We're currently home in France, preparing hard to embark on the traveling lifestyle in April 2011. In the next few months we'll be very busy with the round of family holidays. The winter holidays of about five cultures and everybody's birthday will be landing smack in our inbox, leaving us wiped out and overfed by January. Oh well. Shows our traveling plans as far into the future as we've made any. I get re-motivated every time I look at it. In a larger map. Belgium: brief stop in Bruges.

Little Rabbit's Planet: May 2012
http://www.littlerabbitsplanet.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 29 May 2012. Day 424: The Fleurieu Peninsula. Having rented a car, we set off for a beach day on the Fleurieu Peninsula. 1st stop: Victor Harbour where we walked out on this long causeway to a little island full of granite boulders and penguin burrows. Sometimes, the causeway has a horse drawn train running on it. 2nd stop: a long, long beach on the southern side of the peninsula. Nothing but sand, waves, and dead birds (oh, and some living ones too). Links to this post. Monday, 28 May 2012.
