The Goderich Signal-Star, 1982-05-19, Page 7New Zealand couple tour around the world BY KAE WEBSTER ' Robert and Sue Odely of New Zealand have been travelling around the world for the past 27 months and they are visiting with their cousin, George Moncrief and his wife, Bettyin Lochalsh as they begin , their tour of Canada. Robert and Sue are on leaves of absence from their jobs without pay: They have worked at jobs as they could while on their world tour, permitting them to stay longer in countries to learn how the people really live. While in England they stayed at New Zealand House which is a hostel for people from Commonwealth nations. The rates are reasonable and they provide newspapers with job listings for those who wish to find work. When Sue and Robert went to find work in England, they learned that there are some two million people out of work in the country which is more than the whole population of New Zealand. Many Britons do not remain at one job for any length of time, leaving job openings available. Both Sue and Robert were able to find work for three months during their stay in England. While travelling through England and France, they stayed in a van parking in Caravan Parks similar to Canada's trailer parks. In Paris, they parked their van for the night nearthe base of the Eiffel Tower. At night - you just pull the curtains and go to bed. In Yugoslavia they travelled off the main high- way and came upon a tiny village of cave dwellers, all dressed in black. Many of the buildings in Yugoslavia, East Germany and Czechoslovakia have never been repaired since World War I1 as the countries are very poor. The stores have very few items for sale and if you see something you like, you just grab it and hope it fits. Military manoeuvres and helicopters flying overhead are constant reminders of the communist governments –. _---_which_ control these _ coun- tries. Theft was a pr Yarm in Italy. The Italian thieves are not above"stealing from your van so Sue and Robert parked. their van with two others in a triangle with the doors facing inward to protect themselves. The roads and buildings have not been rebuilt since the earthquakes and long detours are necessary to get from one place to another. Sue and Robert remember they were not impressed with Venice. It was smelly and they were glad to move on. Greece is• a very poor, desolate country and military action is evident. They travelled through Austria to the Riviera in the south of France and on to Denmark. Here they visited a Lego factory where they saw small scale models of building built from Lego blocks. A meal for four people cost $10 in Czechoslovakia large bottle or. wine was $1. You are not allowed to take any money out of the country and as things are so cheap, it was a problem to spend what Czechoslovakian money you had before leaving the . coun- ty Italy has many villas with cobble stone streets which still bear the marks of the Roman chariot wheels. Sue and Robert stayed in Russia for two weeks. They found clothing very ex- pensive; a pair of pantyhose cost $13, a jacket which would 'sell for $100 here was $450 and an . average style pair of slacks cost $100. The average wage is $380 a month., A bus ticket for six cents takes you all over the city but Russians' travel outside the cities is limited. Their underground stations are amazing. While the tourist is allowed to take pictures of the tourist attractions, no pictures of the military are permitted. In Russia and other communist countries, pens and pencils are very ex- pensive and the people will ask for them. In the next two months before they return to New Zealand, Sue and Robert plan' to travel across Canada --and -then--proceed:. down- the-_ Pacific coast to San Fran-. - cisco and then home.
