Robbins, the picture of a Cowboys T-shirt does NOT mean the Cowgirl thugs are liked around the world. :-) Dallas Cowboys are "worthy"? ;-) Worthy of jail time perhaps. Hehehehe. Joan
Name: C. L. Robbins City, Country: Dallas, TX USA Sent: 10.43 PM - 8/23 2002 I really enjoy reading your journal entries and seeing your pictures. I am a Dallas Cowboy fan. You can imagine the surprise in your "Calendar Contest" picture from Australia, seeing an AIKMAN #8 shirt. The "worthy" Cowboys are liked around the world!!
Name: Marieke City, Country: Holland Sent: 4.46 PM - 8/23 2002 Well frmo what I read in your postings, I think Vicky has some kind of mental disorder. ADHD (Hyperactivity disorder) might be a possibility. That means you react in an extremely impulsive way and do lots of things you regret later on. You react on emotions in a very primal way: impulsively. And later you regret what you have said/done because you migth not even really mean it. From reading the posts I do not get the impression Vicky is a nasty woman or anything. After all, she seemed over the moon with having Ramon. I think it went a little different form what she expected and that was a change in her 'plan' and she did not really know how to cope with that.
Hey guys - please dont bag me anymore. I truly am sorry. There are things I cant say publicly - but there's a reason why I am 'different'. Please welcome me guys. I've made a huge mistake. Im sure Ramon will forgive me when he reads his email about what happened.
Name: donatella City, Country: milano, italy Sent: 2.04 PM - 8/23 2002 hello ramon, I've just read your 2 latest report, the mailinglist made me quite curious about that fuss with the hostess in hobart. I'd like to tell you what is obviously plain: it can happen to meet on your route unpleasant people (the problem is that you can't realise it before accepting the invitation...); probably the more you go on --> the more you become "famous" --> the more you risk to meet people or media that want to use you and your experience as a kind of fenomeno (or a rag doll, as you wrote). I'm generally speaking, don't want to judge wickie - you know, the report of the aug.19th is a little disqiueting in its irony... (did you have a premonition?) I mean, it sounds like that wasn't much feeling from the start with the lady. probably the best thing is speaking clearly to her and making clear about your opinions once again, then you'll have made all the possible: it's up to her to understand.
RAMON ROX!
Name: Fiona City, Country: Adelaide Sent: 1.55 PM - 8/23 2002 Hey Ramon! I hope you don't think all Anlgican priest's wives are wacky! Remember when you stayed with us and we had dinner at a table with a glass of wine! You were the perfect house guest and we would have you again in a flash! Imogen still asks where you are so I have been showing her the pictures on the site! Those of us on the mainland always say Tesweigans have 2 heads!
Name: Vicki Curtis City, Country: Hobart Tasmania Sent: 1.44 PM - 8/23 2002 Hi this is Vicki Curtis the oddball from Tassie. This is my public apology to Ramon for causing him so much grief. I have written him a long email and I hope that he finds it in his heart to forgive me after reading what I have to say to him. I have wasted a precious opportunity in like. Maybe Ramon will publicly accept me back to this site? Vicki Curtis the 'different' one in Tasy.
Name: Sue City, Country: Hong Kong Sent: 1.34 PM - 8/23 2002 Glad to hear Ramon had a great day biking in the Tamar Valley, also that he went to my home town (George Town) as a lot of visitors find it a bit out of the way. By the way, the bridge is called the "Batman Bridge" after a John Batman, a busranger who used to hideout in the area, I believe. Unless they have changed the name sometime in the last 20 years! It really is great to see all the pictures from Tasmania, thanks!
Name: Acadia City, Country: Maine, USA Sent: 11.18 AM - 8/23 2002 Sounds like you met up with a good one in Lew. I would have loved to be a fly on the wall during your long conversation. Whatever happens with this Vicky person happens. You know who you are and what you are. Perhaps she had the wrong expectations of your visit. Maybe she figures her road to fame is by being the anti-Ramon. Sad.
Hi everybody, I can't believe that a person can invite someone to stay with them as a guest, knowing that they have no money, transport or other means by which to make life easier, and then say to the media that they "used" them during the stay!
Cheers and keep on cranking, Ramon!
Name: Belinda City, Country: Hobart Tasmania Sent: 10.42 AM - 8/22 2002 Hi Ramon
RAMON: This lady you mentioned is my ex-host Vickie Curtis who invited me to stay at her place in Hobart last Monday. Appearantle she did not enjoy it that much, because she called the Mercury newspaper as soon as she dropped me off in the city centre the next day. The newspaper contacted me about it and she stated to them that I left her home in a mess, I was uncommunicative, ungrateful and that I "used" her. "I wish to confirm the view that this guy is a free loader," she had said to the newspaper. "Maybe my expectations were too high ... I expected a polite housetrained young man with a mature outlook ... instead I got the opposite." The newspaper decided not to run a story about it because they had their own reservations about Ms Curtis' claims, and her right to make them as _ after all _ she did volunteer her home and hospitality. Then it seems that Ms Curtis jumped to the phone to call the radio station and then brag about me and how terrible I seem to have been. What fascinates me the most is that Ms Curtis NEVER has contacted me about the things that bothered her. I will extend my opinions this all in the report of August 21, coming up soon. Until now I have not heard anything from the lady personally. So maybe she does kick on media attention, as you will find out in my report of August 19 too.
Hi Ramon, Still having trouble with your GMX addresses--mine keep 'bouncing'--but I managed to get in touch with the Mercury reporter in Hobart. No story is being run, apparently. For more info phone me at
Hey Ramon Linda's account of your supper has me laughing. Not to be rude, but because I've had exactly the same experience. Thai green curry is wonderful, if not too hot. But then, "too" is a relative term, and some people have leather-lining in their gut. :-) Ramon, I hope the after-effects were not too bad. Can you taste again? :-) Just kidding. You keep well, and continue with that great reporting. Hamba kahle Brian
Hi Brian
Actually, I discovered that Ramon only *thinks* he's had a hot curry before! I asked if he like hot curries, then picked up some thai green chicken curry and beef rendang. i'm afraid it nearly blew his head off. and he didn't believe me when i told him it was no hotter than usual. We've got tough stomachs here in Tasmania! Anyway, I made up for it with some cooling mango sorbet, so things settled down. Sorry again, Ramon! Linda
G'DAY RAMON, HOW THE BUM RECOVERED FROM THE BIKE RIDE? THAT GREEN STUFF IS CALLED "MIDOURI" AND IT WILL KILL A BROWN DOG. ANYWAY I GOT THAT JOB AND I'M ABOUT TO FLY TO THE GULF OF CARPENTARIA, KARUMBA, SO I'LL CATCH U LATER. FAT FLAP THE BIKER.
Name: Acadia City, Country: Maine, USA Sent: 10.58 PM - 8/21 2002 Yup, nice pic for the desktop. Thanks.
Ramon, Thanks for the gorgeous sunset picture. Passed it to friends, to everyone at work, and family. They all love it. :)
Name: panya City, Country: Thailand Sent: 3.42 PM - 8/21 2002 Hello....... well come to Thailand
Name: Brian City, Country: Durban, South Africa Sent: 6.25 AM - 8/21 2002 Hi Linda
What did you feed Ramon last night? Cooked pumpkin? Or chicken with apricots? He prefers not to eat these things, I discovered last year. Don't feel too bad, no-one eats everything. Ramon, it was odd to see you in the snow in that pic, we also have winter here, but it's 27 degrees and sunny today. Keep strong, Ramon, it's only about two weeks and you'll be resting (read drinking) with Munk and Gerben again. And it will be a well-deserved rest. Hamba kahle Brian
Hello
Well, if Qantas hasn't done its usual trick of delaying flights to and from Hobart, Ramon should be almost back in Melbourne by now. I dropped him at the airport after a much too brief visit to Tasmania - he could have spent the whole six months here, and still not be finished! At least he got to go up the mountain, like every tourist in Hobart - the snow was just a lucky bonus. And believe what I'm sure he'll say in his report - it was FREEZING up there!! It was a bit unreal finally meeting him after following the exploits on this site, but, Ramon, you're doing it well. I can understand you being a bit impatient to get home for that hard-earned rest. Of course, once you're there you'll just want to head off again, I'll bet. There's no cure for itchy feet - especially not after an experience like this. Sorry for poisoning you with dinner last night, but just remember - everything is bigger and hotter in Australia! Stay well. Linda
Name: Bella City, Country: Townsville Australia Sent: 7.45 AM - 8/20 2002 Hi all. Need to set things right about Bootmen. It starred Adam Garcia not Andy. Adam is Australian and much younger. Regards to you Ramon. I have been following your journey daily. Hope you have a well deserved rest when you leave our shores.
Name: Gail City, Country: Launceston, Tasmania Sent: 5.57 AM - 8/20 2002 Hi Ramon, Forgot to ask, how is Kimbal's work holding out?
Hello everybody. We have just had the pleasure of hosting Ramon for a couple of days and now our life has returned to normal (more hectic than while he was here!). At least we were able to have a rest while he caught up on the mountains, and I say again, mountains of email/website/photo duties to be attended to. Ramon's "travellers life" is certainly not all fun and games, more like bad backs, dirty clothes, overwhelming correspondence, media circus after circus, and an occasional quiet moment when not playing "Guest"! We found him to be a true wit, all the time mindful of his guest role, and although he probably may never pass this way again, we would certainly love to see him again. Happy Trails, Ramon.....
Andy Garcia is Australian? RAMON: No, he is from Cuba.
Name: Rob City, Country: UK / NZ Sent: 7.54 PM - 8/18 2002 Hi Ramon, You might find my web organisation useful on your travels. It lists places where you can help out at places like farms in exchange for a bed and meals. It's called Help Exchange, find it at www.helpx.net
Name: Joan City, Country: USA Sent: 2.54 AM - 8/18 2002 Hi Ramon, I wanted to again commend you on such great stories and photos. I've spent the last few hours catching up on your travelogue and photos. But then I had to search back to March reports, when you visited the Newcastle area of the West Central Coast. Why? Because this afternoon on T.V. I watched a really good movie. "Bootmen", filmed and located in Newcaste steel mills. I seemed to have recalled you had visited the area so I had to go back and find them. Great Aussie movie staring the Aussie Andy Garcia, good story, and excellent music and dancing, if anyone wants to catch it. I never heard of it before today when it aired on an HBO cable channel. The dancing really is incredible!! Some web links, hope they don't get nixed. :-) Just passing info about a neat movie about a place where Ramon has visited. http://www.foxsearchlight.com/production/bootmenwed.html http://www.boxoff.com/issues/aug00/bootmen.html Cheers,

You are a tickler and a tease lately. :-) Cheers,
Name: Ramon City, Country: Tasmania at the moment Sent: 3.37 AM - 8/17 2002 To explain the message below for those who missed it. Just for a day or two this messageboard was renamed into the Brianboard (of course caused by the many contributions of South African Brian). Of course that was just a temporary joke! In September there will be some major changes on this website and I can already reveal to you all that the "Board of Supporters" as how the frequest messagers call themself, will get their OWN thing... I'll keep you posted!
Name: Joan City, Country: USA Sent: 5.26 PM - 8/16 2002 Brian, the Brianboard does have a nice ring to it. I like it. :-) Sala kahle!
Ramon?!
Huh? What the...! Brianboard?! Ramon, I'm at a loss for words. I'm flattered, I think. Jeez, it's wierd. Is this a hint that I'm here too often? Or is this for someone else? Is there something particular that I should say? I'm quite flabberghasted, and gobsmacked! At first I thought you'd managed to use the IP address to identify us, and personalise the board. Then I saw what Joan and Donatella had to say, and, well, I really did have eyes like saucers! Ramon, you are clearly in a more relaxed mode now, after the last week or so in the Wayward bus, and now in Taz. It's great. Who gave you this idea? What in the world inspired it? Anyway, what I really did intend to say, is that it's good, no, it's wonderful, that you went to Todd's school as a live specimen for his "show and tell". He must have been bubbling with pride and excitement. That was a really kind thing to do. You should also be full of pride. The reports will be an absloute must-read for all. You have shown, yet again, that you are a genuinely considerate person. You have returned the favour to your hosts in a way that cannot really be measured, but surely will be appreciated and remembered. There is immense value in what you did, even if was only for ten minutes. Well done. Really. Well, ..., that still boggles the mind. Brianboard! Have a good time in Taz, Ramon, and try to avoid getting bitten by a 'Devil. Hamba kahle. Message
