We are four girls and a Dora the Explorer doll about to embark on a round the world tour of India, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, China, Phillipines and Hong Kong.
Judging by a few problems we have already experienced with Passports, visa's etc I think our name is highly appropriate.
We have created this blog as a way of communicating with our family and friends so they can see what we are up to along the way! feel free to leave any comments and let us know what you are up to.
After a fabulous few days in Singapore with the Wilkinsons Georgia and Quinno said goodbye to Jocelyn and her family ready to embark on there own adventure for 2 weeks. We caught a bus ride from Singapore to Malaysia which was absolutely amazing and had fully reclining seats. As soon as we crossed over the border we were glad to be reunited with our faithful old friend the asian toilet particularly that familiar stench. We arrived in Kuala lumpar early evening in torrential rain and waded through the sodden streets to our hostel. Early the next day we caught our flight to Bali. The flight there was perhaps one of the scariest moments of our lives. Smoke was pouring out of the air vents and there was major turbulence. But apparantly this is NORMAL!!! We headed

After a two month drink drought in India we were ready for Alcohol and that was pretty much our main activity for the next month. We were met by the Quinns at a very posh hotel for the night which was a real treat. Although Amy, Quinn and I didnt really see the hotel as we ended up going out and didnt return till 7 the enxt day. Poor jocelyn was ill and had to stay in bed. She really is the sick child. Our very own Lubey Lu met us in Sydney to come and join us for fun and frolics

... read moreHello, We havent written on this thing in ages because we have either been lazy or really busy neither one im sure about. After Rajastan with the driver from hell. We visited Agra and yes the Taj was just as amazing as everyone makes out. We then headed back to Delhi and got a bus to Rishikesh that is if you can call it a bus it is probably better to describe it as a big rust bucket. In Rishikesh we like to think that we found ourselfs haha! Did yoga most days and met an amazing woman who taught us lots of spiritual stuff. One day me (Georgie Porgie) and Ams thought it would be a good idea to take a brisk walk to the water falls. Big mistake as it was alot steeper then

... read moreBangalore was a big dissapointment for us. We were promised cheap clothes and a great night life and it certainly wasnt that. What made it worse was we couldnt get a night train out so we had to hang around for ages. We met up with Gin Jocelyns friend from uni for a meal one night which was really good. By the third day hanging about we couldn't really face doing anything so we settled in a park close to where we were staying. Suddenly we were approached by indian after indian facinated by us asking for autographs and photos with us absolutely hilarious we all felt like movie stars! That night we got the night train to Hampi. Hampi was absolutely amazing we spent a few days cycling round the ruins and chilling out in
