Gemma's Travels

Welcome to my journal following my trip around the world starting in October 2006. If it hasn't been updated in a while, it means I am in the middle of nowhere and cannot get to a computer! I also have a Flickr site - the address is www.flickr.com/photos/gemmac and my email address is gem_cox@yahoo.co.uk if anyone would like to contact me.
