New Delhi & Agra India was everything it’s made out to be and more, a melting pot of culture, religion, color, smells and taste - a literal smorgasbord for the senses. With the extraordinary fusion of so many people, the country becomes something of an experience from start to finish. We have traveled twice to India in the past months; the first was a long weekend trip to New Delhi and Agra, a four day whirlwind trip of the major sites and back to work for Monday morning…the second was a month on the beaches of Goa.... Just off the “Main [View Full Entry]

A 16 hour trip in the bus to Nazca turned into 19 and a bit, but that’s South American time for you, it was fun....Nazca at 8am in the morning it was nice to get off the bus, with 15 people outside the fence yelling at you to come sleep at their hostel/hotel. By 10am we were in a 4 seater plane I was more worried about it getting off the ground at all than crashing, to do a 45min fly over the "Nazca Lines" the one and only thing to do in an otherwise one horse town. The lines [View Full Entry]

We had arrived at La Paz, dirty, smelly bustling city, on an overnight bus from Potosi and while Tanya slept on the couch at the first hostel we came to which was full, Josh and I walked the streets at 5am trying to find one with a staff member awake enough to understand we were after a room for a few nights. 2 hours later we gave up and also fell asleep waiting for some more intelligent staff to arrive at work for the day. La Paz was sweet, nice to be back in a big city, albeit rather smelly [View Full Entry]

Our footsteps Casey and Tanya Arriving in BA, finding our hostel had lost our booking for the first night was a crap start, no great drama though as we were able to find accommodation next door for the night. We had just come in from Iguazu Falls having been able to find a $50 flight each to avoid a 14 hour bus trip, which we were both more than happy about. STEAKS in Argentina......WOW in the first 3 days in BA we had steak 6 times....I thought I had died and gone to heaven, Tanya on the other hand kept [View Full Entry]

Straight out of Africa on a 11 hour flight we arrived in London into 4c and overcast at 7am in the morning. Caught the tube to Gavin's house in Richmond (one of Casey's mates from years ago who is a legend to let us stay at his house) which was fun as most of London joined us, great entertainment to get off a fully packed peak hour train with fully laiden backpacks. Dropped our stuff, put most of what we owned on to combat the cold and headed vaguely in the direction of the city back on the tube. Got [View Full Entry]

Coffee Bay.......(no coffee....!).....wow picture the most chilled out, laid back, do nothing place you have ever been and Coffee Bay is 10x this. It consists of two hostels down by the mouth of a river, one really, really small shop and about 20 local houses scattered around the area. We stayed at the hostel called "Bomvu", main bar and rooms set up on the top of the hill overlooking the ocean/river and as it sprawls out down the semi-rainforest hill it was just full of hammocks, fireplaces and small spots just to chill out. Weaved inbetween about 20 of these trees [View Full Entry]

What a blast! Arrived into Joberg late at night after our 15 hour flight, grabbed a car the next morning suffering from some serious jet lag, and headed north-west to Pilanesberg National Park. Ended up staying at a B+B coz the park was booked out and the owner took us to a Jazz festival, standing there between 5000 odd Africans we were quite a draw card. Fantastic though, the girls with their wicked hair styles can dance. Drove the park the next morning for 6 hours and saw everything except the "cats". Fantastic, had a herd of elephants numbering around 30, [View Full Entry]

Started the trip with a quick 2 weeks around oz, started in Bundaberg to catch up with my family (Tanya’s) We started out with a quick massage and a few XXXX Gold beers (as you do). As tradition we headed to Bundy Bowl for a few falling pins.. The next night Bernadette and Tanya (Tanya’s Sister) went to see Man Power whilst the boys hit the local Bundy pubs. The main tour day was full with Tanya’s dad taking us to the Bundy Rum Factory, where we had a taste of molasses and checked out how it all happens. In the [View Full Entry]

Hey, Just got back from Jordan in the middle east. Went over there for a job for Screenco for 10 days, was an awesome experience but a terrible job, as things do when your overseas everything that could go wrong did. But anyway we got our way through it and we got it done in the end. We were doing a military parade which was massive. They are bordered by Iraq, Syria, Israel and Gaza Strip, so not the friendliest neighbourhood, so one had better have a large military. Could not believe the endless parade of tanks and hummvies coming past....! [View Full Entry]
