		<description><![CDATA[Further to my equatorial adventures I can confirm that they&#8217;ve also gotten it wrong in Greenwich.  00° W is not actually on the line in the Royal Observatory; it&#8217;s about 120m out. 

Luckily, the real meridian is in the park rather than behind the observatory&#8217;s entry fee, right next to the hot dog van. [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m not what prompted us to spend a week in Cartagena – I
suppose in part it was a recovery from the boat experience, and our
first hotel with air conditioning in quite some time.  The heat was
intense, but we slept well and caught up on a lot of missed rest in
Panama &#38; on the boat.

Most of you would know that in Melbourne I suffer quite substantially from allergies, largely owing to the ever present pollen floating around.
For me one of the delights of travel is that pretty much nowhere else in the world are my allergies so acute as Melbourne. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As surely as we keep counting down degrees of latitude, do our daily experiences continue changing. Panama city is a jarring conclusion to our Central American traversal.

Given it&#8217;s position on the isthmus of the northern and southern American continents and also of the oceans Pacific and Atlantic, this seems entirely appropriate.
In fact it&#8217;s a point [...]]]></description>

At the time (2am) we were staying some 200km+ away in Livingston, Guatemala, and the two storey wooden structure we were sleeping in swayed in a reasonably terrifying manner.  A few mild aftershocks meant we ceartainly [...]]]></description>

Remarkable because posting letters is something I do only very, very rarely.  And for what reason &#8211; other than posting letters &#8211; would I need to know the postcode of a suburb?

To varying degrees we&#8217;ve realised that aim, although I wouldn&#8217;t for a second try to suggest that an expat apartment in a nice neighborhood reflects much of real [...]]]></description>

Chile has 214, 000 dogs, half of them are homeless. Chile doesn´t have a dog pound and no dogs are euthanased. Instead people or groups of people look after them. Everywhere you see bowls of water and sometimes little houses and blankets left out for them on the street.

Several months back I was keen to get mobile data (internet) access on a prepaid mobile phone account &#8211; and discovered that this is essentially impossible in Australia. 
In the UK in June I grabbed a prepaid Orange UK SIM from the supermarket, and GPRS / 3G data was enabled by [...]]]></description>
