Our arrival in Africa!!! After spending the night before drinking until 6am (when the Madrid Subway re-opened) and sleeping on the airport floor, we made our triumphant landing at the very northern tip of Morocco. Despite our exhaustion (sleep deprivation is an amazing thing), our excitement carries us the rest of the way, as we [...]

Jan 2nd, 2009 | By Rob | Category: BLOG, From the Road

So, funny story eh? We must have got on the wrong flight or something, but somehow or another we ended up in Vancouver. This is another one of those posts where im writing it a couple days before the fact, and the website automatically posts it for me. So to write about being “home” is [...]

Change of Temperature! Arriving in London, England.

Dec 8th, 2008 | By Rob | Category: BLOG, From the Road

That may seem like a typo, but it isn’t. Even to me it doesn’t seem real as I type it, the sweat collecting on my brow at one of the many internet cafes scattered throughout Accra, but its true. Stewart and I are in England. I’ve set this post to automatically post itself for Monday [...]



Completing the Backpackers Triangle; Cape Coast, Ghana.

Dec 2nd, 2008 | By Rob | Category: BLOG, From the Road

Our time in Ghana is nearing a close. In total we’ve been in the country for just under two weeks now, and its really sad to be leaving.
