the surprisingly modern and rich city of Gabarone.
Bosnia & Hercegovina
Sarajevo,
Bosnia &
Hercegovina.
The view from

all the white

of people that
died in the war
around 1994...
Sarajevo, Bosnia &
Hercegovina. Dave, Leslie,
Elizabeth, April and I in

Sarajevo, Bosnia &
Hercegovina. To the left,
the red shows the spot
where a shell hit during the
war and killed 30
civilians...to the right, the
famous Holiday Inn where
all the journalists stayed
during the war. The street
was known as "sniper's
alley". It was the place
where many people were
killed by snipers.
Mostar, Bosnia &
Hercegovina. Kindof an
eerie town...devastated by
the war, with the famous
bridge in the middle blown
up. It has since been
rebuilt. Very beautiful now
near the bridget. All of us
visited the city on the way
from Sarajevo to Dubrovnik.
Directly below, you can still
see a bunch of damage
from the war.
Salzburg, Austria.
Travelled to
Salzburg as part of a

Very quaint, beautiful town.
Lots of canals (to the left)
and a really nice main
square bottom left and Town
Hall (to the right).
Graz, Austria. Flew into Graz (because of a
cheap ticket from London). It is Arnold
Swarzenagger's birth town. To the left, where I
ate with some new friends. Above, downtown,

Fantastic place for
art, but otherwise,
not that impressed
with it...to the left, the
major walking area,
and to the right the
main Cathedral in
town.
Bhutan
Bangladesh
Dhaka, Bangladesh. Well, not a ton to do or see in
Dhaka, so we loaded up in rickshaws (above) with cigars
to celebrate the start of our trip (2007). We got the guys
to bicycle us to the store to buy rum and coke so we
could play deal or no deal set to drinking (I have no idea
how Levi comes up with these things). To the right
above, Levi poking his head out with his dude. To the
right, Levi and Bob picking up snacks to go with the rum
and coke.
Dhaka, Bangladesh. Took a taxi around the city and
ended up at the parliament building at night. Apparently
it was the place to go as many, many people were out
strolling. Above left, the parliament building. Above, Bob,
me and Levi the tiger...to the left, Levi buying the mask...

Belize City to San Pedro,
Belize. We took a 7 seater
plane to San Pedro,
Ambergris Caye. Wild and
cool ride!

transportation was on golf
carts! Very beautiful here!

we saw on the way to
Belmopan from Belize City in
our really crappy rental car.

stamps from the Post Office.
You have to look closely for
the sign! While here, we
went Cave Tubing, and Zip
lining. Fantastic!
