So, after 134 days, 14 countries, 3 continents and the most amazing experiences of our lives, we are now flying home to London!! It feels very surreal somehow, not only to be flying home, but also to think back to what we have seen, done, eaten, smelt, experienced over the last 4 1/2 months. With not one argument or cross word, our adventure has brought us closer together as a couple and the experiences we have shared, we will carry with us forever - (and probably bore the people around us forever with our stories!) We will have photos, videos, souvenirs and most importantly our memories to keep our adventure alive. We really couldn't think of a more exciting, rewarding, and wonderful way to spend the months before our wedding. Even though we will soon dive ... read more

Hello again everyone, Our spontaneous detour to Laos was quite possibly the best decision we could have ever made, as the country is beautfiul and quiet, yet rich with stunning landscapes and experiential opportunities centred around the Mekong Delta running through the middle of it. Our adventure started after hearing the Bangkok airport news and we quickly caught an overnight train to the Laos border. The train would have been a wonderful experience, if it wasn't for the man sleeping in the bunk underneath me (who wasn't Albert!) who generated such noises (you couldn't even call it snoring) that on frequent occasions throughout the night, we though he may have choked/had a heart attack/pegged it...After a tuk-tuk minivan ride to the capital Vientiane, we experienced our first slice of Laotian calm, as even the capital city ... read more

Hellooooooooo again everyone, Well, to be honest, Thailand has felt like a break from travelling really as we have done very little in the way of cultural activities and true sightseeing as we have mainly been touring Phuket and Koh Phi Phi - Thailand's biggest Western Islands. We have managed to get some gorgeous pictures, but dont feel too jealous, as in our 9 days on the Thai islands, the sun only came out twice....!! It definitely did not dent our enjoyment though, as there was plenty to occupy us with 5 star hotel rooms for less than 20 pounds, elephants, boat trips and Thai massages.... To start with, we thought we would hate Bangkok. We had heard so many negative stories from other travellers about the city, that we were sure it would remind us ... read more

Hello all, We have come to the end of our Kiwi adventure and are jetting off to pastures new tomorrow - Australia!! But what an amazing time we have had in New Zealand. We had felt a little disappointed not to have had a little more time on the North Island, but the South Island has been as amazing as everyone had told us it would be, and it was great to have two weeks to truly explore every inch of it! We were at the Foz glacier when we last left off, and from there we took the most incredible scenic route through the Haast Pass towards Wanaka and Queenstown. Wanaka was a gorgeous little town on the shores of the lake - (apologies for having no photos of the town, I left the digital ... read more

Hi everyone!! We're updating again as our last blog was purely sky-diving, and although that was incredible fun there was far more to tell you about the North Island!! We began in Aukland but really only spent one night there getting over jet-lag and didn't even get a chance to venture into the town! We picked up our van and headed to the glow-worm filled caves of Waitomo for our black water rafting trip! We slipped into our wetsuits and walked down towards the caves. The water was absolutely freezing and we spent 3 hours in the caves floating along on massive rubber rings with only our headlamps (and the light of the glow-worms) to guide us! At some points we were told to shut off our lights and we were in the pitch back, and ... read more
