Where have all the Blogs gone?

Location: Canada- Vancouver

I know what happened. It was two fold really.
First the novelty wore off, once you have been on one night bus. Stayed in one hostel. Got lost and on the wrong bus/train (think wrong train in Romania at 1am, ekk) its no longer sucha big deal
Second we left eastern Europe and started on Russia.

The plan was to blog about our travels. Not for other people to read really, I never thought I would do anything worth noting. But mummy and Nana like to read about where we are.
But really I wanted to write about what we did and what it was like so I would remember.

To start with it was fun to blog, it also killed the time when we were on long bus/train journeys. We would use the Iphones, then swap to check and edit then just email the blog off to our website. It was really easy.
But once we left eastern Europe we stopped.
Eastern Europe really was 'off season' there was no one there, so no other travelers to chat with and spend time with. But once we got to St-Petersburg it was a different atmosphere. All hostels were full, we meet loads of cool people. Most people were on the same journey as us and a few of them we met up with along the way, in the middle of Russia, in Mongolia and finally in China. So its much more fun to go out with other people that sit alone in your pants blogging.

I tryed to keep notes on what we did so now I am working on those notes and updating our blog to live in the Cyber-Ether forever.
