Parr Planet – Travels with Stephen & Kathleen
Follow us as we travel the World!
Our lovely 3 PM flight from Italy to Armenia was moved to 8 PM which means we didn’t arrive in this capital city until 12 PM our time, 2 AM in Yerevan. True to its travel book descriptions, Yerevan was still hopping at this time on a Saturday night. Folks were still in cafes and …
November 22-25, 2016 An easy 3-hour shuttle got us from Antigua to Panajachel (Pana, to the locals). This is on lake Atitlan, which is rumored to be the most beautiful lake in Central America. The views do not disappoint. Stunningly beautiful peaks rising up out of the clear blue lake are fantastic. We had two …
Port Douglas, Cape Tribulation & Cairns, Australia May 19-25, 2016 Driving North out of Cairns just over an hour, you come to a lovely little beach town called Port Douglas which is sitting on a peninsula jutting into the sea. This is a small but lively town with the main street between the two ends …
Adelaide, Australia April 24-28, 2016 We booked four nights in Adelaide, mainly because we would be moving pretty quickly for the couple weeks leading up to it and it is nice to have a break (i.e. More than two nights in one place). We were once again very pleased with our city view as …
Melbourne, Australia April 14-19, 2016 Finally arriving in Melbourne after dancing around it for more than a week, we were thrilled to get the first great view of town from our lovely balcony on the 24th floor. We did a great job picking this place, and had perfect city views from our location just across …
Yogyakarta and Borobudur, March 16, 2016 The day before our flight to Australia, we took an all-day tour to Borobudur. On the island of Java. It is the site of a 10th century Buddhist Temple of massive proportion. Supposedly it is the largest Buddhist Temple in the world. It has, of course, been reduced …
Chiang Rai – February 16-19, 2016 Chiang Rai is a lovely small city with the feel of a real place, i.e., not just for tourists. To add to this, we got a studio apartment rather than a hotel, which always makes us feel much more like locals. This was the first place we had a …
Columbia – Medellin June 7, 2014 What a lovely city! This city, although it is the second largest in Columbia with 3.5 Million inhabitants if you include the surrounding municipalities, was completely unknown to us before we planned this trip. We have since learned that the city was completely under the thumb of drug lord …
Hey all, I guess it is fair to say we had an unintended snafu in our travel plans and were forced to head back to the good old USA for some rest and recovery. Our origial plan is a bit torn to pieces, but that won’t stop us from continuing the adventure! We are …
Uruguay – Laguna Garzon March 27, 2014 After a fairly uneventful 8+ hour flight, we arrived in Montevideo, Uruguay. Wow! That sounds very exotic, doesn’t it? It definately feels like another country, but kind of like South America light. The popluation is small but contains a very mixed bag of European transplants, so we feel …
