Eamon's & Vanessa's Travel-log

This Irish couple spent nine months traveling around the world for their honeymoon; this is their e-mail diary of the trip, which was broadcast weekly on an Irish radio station. "We've had prawns in Mozambique and apple pie in the Himalayas, we swam with the sharks in Thailand and become bronze gods in Athens, we relaxed in Monte Carlo and nearly died in India, we breezed through customs in France and were deported from Indonesia, we climbed to the top of the world and dived to the bottom of the ocean, we ran with the bulls and ran away from a little scorpion. But through it all we stuck together, through good times and bad, and are still very much in love. Now folks, that was our type of honeymoon."
