North America: Ep 04 - Flume Gorge, NH

Today was an early start with breakfast from 06:30am and preparing to load and go after meeting at 07:15am in the lobby. We would make our way to the state of New Hampshire where we would be visiting Flume Gorge, as an activity to do before crossing into Canada later in the day.

Flume Gorge, New Hampshire.

We would spend approximately 2 hours at Flume Gorge, walking and hiking around the trail.
It is a self-guided trail which is around 2km total. We would then drive on to Littleton, New Hampshire for today's lunch stop. I grabbed a quick sandwich and then walked along the main street to see what else I could find.

Just before 2pm we met back on the coach to drive through the state of Vermont, heading towards the border with Canada. The border crossing was a very quick process and we then continued the drive on to Quebec City, where we are staying for 2 nights.
We drove directly from the border with a quick restroom stop, which took just over an hour. We checked into the hotel after after a long drive day at just after 7pm. We got dinner and rested ready to explore Quebec tomorrow.

South America: Ep 03 - Valparaiso Day Trip

Image
Breakfast this morning was at 7am before meeting the lobby at 8am for anybody who wanted to join an optional day tour to the Chilean coastal cities of Valparaiso and Vina Del Mar. We drove for a couple of hours with a service station stop to stretch our legs, before arriving at our first photo stop in Valparaiso. Valparaiso, Chile We would have a walking tour of Valparaiso to see some of the amazing artwork around the city. This would last just over an hour, which also included a return trip on the funicular. After this we would drive to the beach city of Vina del Mar, where we would enjoy an extended lunch stop. After eating I walked right up to the beach front to see some of the Chilean locals enjoying their summer. The beach of Vina del Mar, Chile At 3pm we started to head back to the hotel, with one final stop to use the toilets and for anybody to check out the gift shop. Once back in Santiago I had a walk around to find some dinner and called it a day. A v

1 month to go until China!

As the final month approaches I have 16 more shifts at work before I am on my way to Asia for the first time. This will be continent number 3 after Europe and the African continent with Egypt earlier in the year. Something I didn't mention in the previous blog was that most countries will need a Visa to enter China. This is something I got with the help from this website . It cost me £182.40 for a 2 year tourist visa as there doesn't seem to be an option for a shorter period any more for UK citizens. This can be done in person in Manchester, London or Edinburgh or sent via Royal Mail Special delivery. South Korea and Japan thankfully don't have any special entry requirements from the UK and are free entry. I got my 3 currencies that I will need for this trip recently too. China uses Yuan(CNY) and is approx £1 for ¥8.62. South Korea uses Won(KRW) and is approx £1 for ₩1,489.20. Finally Japan uses Yen(JPY) and is approx £1 for ¥144.08. Those conversions wer
