                    <title>Almost Home</title>
                    <description>We heard UlaanBaator described as 39the ugliest city in the world39 which is a bit harsh but it was an unfortunate place to spend so much of our time in Mongolia so we got out as soon as the train timetable would allow.We had a 36 hour train ride to Siberia and Lake Baikal just over the Russian border we couldn39t work out why such a comparitavely short distance should take so long but</description>

                    <description>We had a very pleasant 2 weeks or so staying with Cath and then Alice39s aunt and uncle in Melbourne and managed to get all our visas sorted in time to fly on 17th May to Shanghai.ChinaWe were met at Shanghai airport by a distant relation of Alice39s Ali who has been living and working in Shanghai with his partner Sabrina and tiny wee baby Rylie for 2 years or so.We had braced ourselves fo</description>

                    <description>We arrived in Kunnunura with no more of a plan than to top up food and fuel. However it is home of a huge reservoir and hence a huge amount of agriculture. So we thought wed take a punt for some work. Chris was quickly offered a job as chef in a caf thanks to the best reference ever from Ben cheers mate we owe you a drink.We had a few days before Chris started so we visited Lake Argyle </description>

                    <description>We left you wwoofing on a pearl farm north of Broome on the sparsley habited Dampier penninsular. We were hoping that by wwoofing with a pearl farmer we would be able to get a foot in the door workwise but the problem is that only a few years ago there were 16 pearl farms the global financial meltdown has reduced that number to 2 so the jobs are fewer and those who have them are less inclined t</description>

                    <title>With apologies to Mrs. Parker</title>
                    <description>The apology is for getting Alice to swim with black tipped reef sharks but i39ll come to that later More like abandoning me to the sharks.....After returning from NZ we spent a total of 2 weeks staying with the wonderful and generous Liz  Nigel the same people who looked after us over Xmas. They were kind and thoughtful to a fault the only break we gave them was around 24 hours when we dr</description>

                    <description>Sorry we have been bad bloggers while in New Zealand. We packed a lot into our short time there.Arriving in Christchurch in the middle of the night our tent was vacuumed before we were let loose on the New Zealand flora and forna. We then had to walk a mile to get to our car rental thats the service you get when you choose an 39el chepo39 car and it really was 39chepo39 many dents an</description>

                    <description>We had as you may remember a lovely time housesitting for an artist in the bush in the run up to Christmas we arrived in Fremantle it claims to be Perth39s sister city but really its arty and upmarket suburb on the 23rd into the welcoming arms of Liz Nigel and their three grown up children. They39re friends of my parents but I hadn39t laid eyes on them for we worked out preci</description>

                    <description>Just a quick note to keep you up to date before we start the 2100 miles or so to Perth and disappear off the radar as we travel through the outback.We left Chris  Eve at Sydney Central Quay train station with many a moistened eye and headed off almost immediately after a heartfelt thanks to Scott  Kirsty for putting us up for 4 nights to the nation39s forgotten capital Canberra.On route we </description>

                    <title>Goodbyeee</title>
                    <description>Sadly Mum and Dad39s great adventure is coming to a slightly more abrupt end than planned. The floods in Thailand have meant an earlier flight from Australia and a two hour stop in Bangkok rather than the planned 2 days. Bit disappointing but its a lot worse for the Thais so we39re looking on the bright side.   We enjoyed our walks in the Victorian Alps and found the best ice cream in Austra</description>

                    <title>Snow... in Australia</title>
                    <description>We stayed in a funny log cabin place near the Grampians with a proper Aussie host described by an Australian friend as Tropo. The Grampians themselves were amazing and full of wildlife. Mum got loads of use out of her new birthday binoculars thanks friends We saw waterfalls mountains and great scenery. After confidently assuring Mum and Dad they wouldn39t see emus just like we said about </description>

                    <title>Family meetings</title>
                    <description>  After arriving at Port Macdonnel we had a restful couple of days walking along the sea front visiting the local library to use the internet and watching penguins from the headland up the road.   A few days in Kaye Eve39s sister in law had arranged a get together with her family. We had a traditional Ozzy barbie with traditional English BBQ weather. The family were very welcoming especial</description>

                    <title>The rellos</title>
                    <description>Alice39s Mum and Dad have finally made it. After arranging the visit several months ago I don39t think any of us believed it would really happen. They arrived on Sunday after a great visit to Bangkok. They were lucky enough to have a great tour guide in May39s brother in law Andy who whisked them around and even got Eve into a tuk tuk. Having a great view of the river from their hotel ro</description>

                    <description>So we haven39t been up to too much since we last spoke. We39ve spent most of our time wwooking with the lovely Alex and Jane and their three errr loud children Ginger 9 Rory 7 and Milo 3 on the Starlight community near the town of Yandina in Queensland39s Gold Coast hinterland. Most of our time has been spent helping them build the house they39ve been working on for the last </description>

                    <title>South into rain</title>
                    <description>We39ve been journeying slowly south over the last few days from the craziness of the Karnak playhouse to Yandina only about 200km north of the New South Wales border.Initially we travelled with Ania a friend of ours we met at Karnak an who left at the same time.Our first stop was at Magnetic island where we had a nice day wandering from one secret  and secluded bay to the next. When we got back</description>

                    <title>Far North Queensland</title>
                    <description>It39s been a strange few weeks here in far north Queensland at the Karnak theater in Mossman. We39re pretty much as far north as you can go in Australia on paved roads and therefore very much in the tropics and have to get used to the humidity violent storms and warms nights that are associated with life here. There are two main things to report i guess. Chris was able to spend 5 days away</description>

                    <description>We left you after two days of solid driving but only a tiny proportion into our epic drive from Adelaide to Cairns. We were in the desert town of Coober Pedy. We had a quiet day or so there getting our affairs in order as they say before moving on to Ularu Ayer39s Rock.The problem you think as you drive the 300km off the main road to Ularu the proper name for Ayer39s rock is that yo</description>

                    <description>We left you sweating in the 42 degree heat of Delhi. Due to the horror stories we39d heard from people passing through Delhi a woman was mugged outside my hotel room i saw a man being beaten up by a gang outside my hotel room etc and the fact it was going to be so hot we really had prepared ourselves for the worst we were expecting all our nightmares of armless blinded beggars to come</description>

                    <description>We had a pleasant few days in Shimla which is a niceenough hill station and a great deal cooler than the plains. It was here that i choose to replace the camera that had died on me our first full day in India and after a lot of umming and ahhing discussions and talks with Kim a  photographer we decided to splash out and get a fancy DSLR jobby. It takes the most beautiful photos which we will</description>

                    <description>So we left you with a cockroach in the breakfast I39m glad to report I didn39t get ill after that and we39re both feeling very healthy at the moment.We spent a few more days in McLeod ganj. Most days we did the conversation classes with the Tibetans refugees which involved an hour and a half or so of talking with Tibetans about their lives culture and where they39ve come from.
