Auckland_BMW Regatta 2009

February is the most beautifull time here in NZ (sun is not too hot and the days are still long) – I am doing 50nm sailing race around waiheke on saturday the 13th 02 2010 and then on the weekend of 26/27/28 of Feb there is another BMW_Regatta (3 day sailing regatta) that I am excited about. Here are some details from the regatta’s website:

The Video in 3 parts – just a short clips from soooooo much film that I had. I will probably cut another piece to show just what a beautifull place that really is.

Hope you enjoy

Getting Ready

September 26th, 2009

I am heading out next friday – to Buenos Aires again. Getting on the boat and sailing down to Ushuaia. Some last minute trouble with the boat – but hopefully all will get sorted out. I have not written anything for a while. Claire and I got chocolate lab puppy and we named him Campbell. He is too cute – check out the flickr pages. My last entries were in regards to trip to antarctica in 2009. I left the blog up and it is available here.

- Our Last Day in Paradise February 12, 2010
  We decided to take it easy on our last day in paradise. We woke up without the alarm, had a wonderful fruit filled breakfast and updated our blog. It was only 9 am but it was already hot as hell so we decided to rent a kayak and head out towards Ao Nang. Usually one has to take a long tail boat to get to that beach so we did not expect to actually make it th […]

  Today we finally got to ride an elephant!!! We wanted to go elephant riding in Cambodia and in Bangkok area but both of those fell through. Today we finally succeeded! We signed up for a tour through our hotel. The tour included an hour of elephant riding, cave sightseeing, swimming in natural pools and Thai lunch.We got picked up early in the morning by a l […]

- Day 10 - 1/31/10 - Kayaking Around February 2, 2010
  We wanted to get up early so we could avoid the hot part of the day. We succeeded somewhat and end up getting up around 7:30. After a wonderful buffet breakfast we rented a double kayak and around 9 am we headed out on the sea to explore the surrounding beaches and islands.The islands around Railay are nothing like we have seen anywhere else. They are huge l […]
- Day 9 - 1/30/10 - Arrival in Paradise January 31, 2010
  In order to catch our early morning flight to Krabi we had to leave our hotel in Bangkok at 5 am. We got to the airport just in time as a huge downpour started right after we arrived. I have never really witnessed a true tropical storm - it was amazing how much water feel in such a short amount of time.There was no sign of the storm upon our arrival in Krabi […]
- Day 8 - 1/29/10 - Finally at Peace with Bangkok January 29, 2010
  This morning I out-smarted the rooster and put tissue paper in my ears (my husband's idea, as he just pointed out) - ha Mr. Rooster, can't get me... but he still did manage to wake me up but it was easier to ignore him and fall back asleep.We got up around 7 as we had a tour to catch at 9. We signed up for a bike tour through Bangkok with Grasshopp […]
- Day 3 1/24/10 - Angkor Wat January 28, 2010
  Our first full day in Siem Reap we decided to visit the main purpose of our travel to Cambodia - Ankor Wat. We arranged our tuk-tuk pick up the night before. Sunny, as he called himself picked us up at 8:30. We got lucky as it was cloudy and not so hot, at least for now. There are many temples in the area with Angkor Wat being the most famous of them all. W […]
- Day 7 - 1/28/10 - First Full Day in Steamy Bangkok January 28, 2010
  Unfortunately, I started the day little bit sooner than expected at 4:30 am. There is this very loud rooster right outside of our balcony that started to tell us that the new day is coming and he would not shut up until 7 when a parrot took over his lonesome singing. Chris slept through it all!!!We had a very good buffet breakfast in the riverside restauran […]
- Day 1 -1/22/10 - Rude Awakening in Phnom Phen January 28, 2010
  After a long day of traveling - approximately 24 hours, we finally arrived in the capital of Cambodia - Phnom Phen. Our vacation didn't exactly start on a good note. On our last flight from Taipei to Phnom Phen we sat next to a nice man who was coming home to Cambodia. He has been living in the US for last 30 years after leaving as a teenager. As of 20 […]
- Day 6 - 1/27/10 - Our Arrival in Bangkok January 28, 2010
  Prior to our departure we at last got some of our questions answered by our wonderful cab driver in Siem Reap:1) Who owns all the Lexus in Phnom Phen? Not even in Marin have seen as many lexus as we have here -> the govermant officials (hmmm makes you wonder how uncorruptable they may be)2) What is the average (good) salary in Siem Reap -> about $100/m […]
