| 22nd December 2009 justin | G'day - From: Australia - East Coast Hiya Guys, Just reading your Aussie experiences - brings back happy memories for me. We found out Carla was pregnant when we were in Sydney, so my favourite city in the world!! (I suggested we called Ellie - Sydney - but Carla, quite rightly, was having none of it!!) The bus journey to and through the blue mountains was great too. The Manley beach was cool too. I was going to climb up Ayres rock until we were told it is a really holy thing for the Aboriginies and also the many placques naming people who had fell to their deaths capped it!! I get what you mean by Bondi Beach - it was an anti-climax for me, just felt ordinary. But the other beaches were great around sydney. I remember thinking about the BBQ's that were provided FOC. You both have a great Christmas and New Year x Justin |
| 22nd December 2009 Keith | Australian bit - From: Australia - East Coast Ausie sounds as if nothing much has changed in the 30+ years since I was there, at least as far as the outdoor lifestyle is concerned. Do I detect an inclination to settle out there? If so, do it before Feb 2011, as Natalie is getting married in NZ, and it would be great to be able to call in en route!! You off to S. America now? Great blogs all the way round the world. Congratulations, and keep them coming. Have you thought about a carreer in journalism? |
| 3rd December 2009 Vivienne Ward | Perth & West Coast - From: Australia - West Coast and Ayers Rock Hey you two lovelies, only just got round to reading your latest blog. Fascinating reading as always. Bloody cold here, wish I was with you xx |
| 26th November 2009 Brendan | At the same time - From: Australia - West Coast and Ayers Rock At the same time this was happening I woke up in the dark morning, stumbled out of bed to the car. It was raining, again as it had done for the last 12 days, but this time winds of 80mph were making it feel much colder than the 7C showing in the car dashboard. On arriving on the M4 just past Newbury the motorway ground to a halt. No reason. I think it was because people cant drive in rain and spray. 45 minutes late for work my largest customer wanted to cancel its contract, my boss wanted more sales, one of my team had gone awol and my blood pressure rose to match the humidity of the surrounding atmosphere. Ariving home late i found my dinner with next door neighbours dog. Wanna swop ? |
| 25th November 2009 rui miguel | Now it's Australia! - From: Australia - West Coast and Ayers Rock Nice to hear from you. Your blog is becoming precious i feel so happy reading your travel details. Soon or later it will be my time. xx hope to see you in less than 1 year ?!!! Big kiss |
| 25th November 2009 Moira Hyde | lost for words - From: Australia - West Coast and Ayers Rock Hi You too it is just so great reading your blogs. I showed the last one to my Australian friend Kim and she was mightily impressed. She has the house in Bali that I told you about. Well done Dave for spotting the Whales after 45 minutes - I think I would have gone all mesmerised and sleepy with very little chance of spotting anything at a mile's distance. Do you know where you'll be at Christmas? Do you have an address where I could send a little prezzie? I do hope you made contact with Kate, I know she'd love to hear from you. She lives in Bermagui, NSW. I'd be very keen to get details fo places you stayed in Lombok and Gilli Islands. Lots of love for now xxx |
| 25th November 2009 Dave and Coz | Hi Moise... - From: Indonesia Part II Hi Moise, thanks for your comment. Most of the guesthouses we stayed in in Lombok and the Gili's were pretty small and remote. On the south west peninsula of Lombok we stayed in Desert Point Lodges (http://www.desertpointlodges.com/home), and in the Gili's we stayed in Creative Losmen (very basic). When your in Lombok and Bali use Blue Bird Taxi's - they're all on meters and never rip you off - saves the hassle and expense of trying to negotiate with other tourist taxis. We're going to be in New Zealand for Christmas. We're hiring a car for the whole 5 weeks, and are going exploring with our tent! Hope to find a quaint beach for Christmas day, for a special BBQ! Hope you're ok. Lots of love, C & D xxxx |
| 25th November 2009 Dave and Coz | 6 months... - From: Indonesia Part II I know, we can't believe that 6 months have passed already! Time really flies when you're having this much fun! ;-) We really enjoy writing the blogs, and glad you enjoy reading them! Love to you both xxx |
| 16th November 2009 Vivienne Ward | Indonesia - From: Indonesia Part II Hey darlings, Lovely reading your Indonesia blog, hope you're not thinking of moving there!! Seeing the photo of you both made me tearful....missing you xx |
| 15th November 2009 Moise | overwhelmed! - From: Indonesia Part II Hi darlings it's been wonderful following (in a stationary kind of way) your travels so far. I loved reading about Ubud, Lombok and the Gilli Islands. Would really appreciate names of guesthouses you liked in Lombok and other islands near Bali. I think I told you that Jayne and I will be renting a house in Ubud next April. It was so great reading of your adventures, knowing I'll be able to explore some of the same places. We've had torrential rain here all weekend though the sun shone through a bit this afternoon and I went for a walk in the woods with friends, following a Sunday roast! Hope the next stage of your journey is as interesting as it has been so far. What are you planning for Christmas??? lots of love for now xxxxx |
| 15th November 2009 lol and steve | 6 months! - From: Indonesia Part II wow 6 months gone by already - you seem to be having such wonderful experiences and thank you soooo much for sharing them with us - hope the next 6 months go as well for you - keep blogging x x x x love to you you both from us both x |
| 6th October 2009 Dave and Coz | train - From: Tokyo - "probably the best city in the world" The type is a "Romance Car VSE 5000" nonetheless! I think Tour Pro would have been good tacked on the end for good measure. You ok mate? |
| 6th October 2009 giles | he's got a picture of a train - From: Tokyo - "probably the best city in the world" only dave would put a picture of a train on his blog...a very artistic picture of a train mind you! |
| 6th October 2009 Dave and Coz | - From: Tokyo - "probably the best city in the world" http://www.adventure-travel-tales-and-tips.com/tana_toraja.html This is where we have just been. Totally bizare!!! Hope you're ok, Dave. |
| 6th October 2009 Dave and Coz | Kyat Exchange Rates - From: Myanmar (Burma) The best rate I got was 1120 to the dollar at the art market in Yangon. Count your Kyat carefully before you hand over any greenbacks. None the less you should show them the dollar bills before as to get top rates you need pristine 100 US dollar bills. PRISTINE. It's not dangerous in the art market as you can count it in private. They'll give you a chair to sit on and probably offer you a tea. Pretty relaxed. Avoid chaning in a busy street in the open as you may well be conned. What to bring? Lots of dollars as there are no ATMS! I would also bring some oatmeal (oats) as fried eggs everyday gets on my nerves. Take a sachet of powdered milk aas well. Stay in the Homelands guesthouse in Yangon. The best value for money, clean and so friendly. If you plan to use buses then ok but fly as much as your budget will allow and definately between Mandalay and Bagan, 25 mins on a plane vs 9 hours on the bumpiest bus in Asia. Reasons for FX rate differences.(see below)... Without doubt, the nicest people in Asia Have a great trip. Dave. These revenues make next to no impact on the country’s official fiscal accounts, however. The reason is simple: Burma’s U.S. dollar gas earnings are recorded in the government’s published accounts at the local currency’s “official” exchange rate of around six kyat to a dollar. This rate overvalues the currency by nearly 200 times its market value and undervalues the local-currency value of Burma’s gas earnings by an equivalent amount. Recorded at the official rate, Burma’s gas earnings translate into less than 1% of budget receipts. By contrast, if the same gas earnings are recorded at the market exchange rate, their contribution would more than double total state receipts, and largely eliminate Burma’s fiscal deficit. The motivation for this sleight of hand is probably to “quarantine” Burma’s foreign exchange earnings from the country’s public accounts, thereby making them available to the regime and its cronies. This accounting is facilitated by Burma’s state-owned Foreign Trade Bank and some willing offshore banks. Flush with these funds, Burma’s military rulers have embarked upon a spending binge of epic proportions, including indulging themselves in the creation of a new administrative capital named Naypyidaw, or “abode of kings.” They are also buying nuclear technologies of uncertain use from Russia and possibly from North Korea. |
| 6th October 2009 Dave and Coz | - From: Tokyo - "probably the best city in the world" Hi mum, the trains were VERY different from the ones in India!! Lol. I ate 2 eggs at Mount Fuji and Dave ate 3 (plus my whites!!!). So our life expectancy has definitely increased! ;-) Love and miss you too xxxx |
| 6th October 2009 Dave and Coz | - From: Tokyo - "probably the best city in the world" Hi Moise, really glad you liked the blog. Tokyo is definitely a great place to go to - one of the best places we've been so far. We wish we'd spent more time in Japan, to explore the country. Unfortunately we only had 4 nights in Tokyo. How are your travel plans going? Lots of love C & D xxxxx |
| 6th October 2009 Dave and Coz | sushi in Tokyo - From: Tokyo - "probably the best city in the world" We stayed in the Best Western in Shinjuku - about 60 quid a night, and newly renovated - top value! Just behind it you have lots of great bars and karaoke! Didn't see any Sushi & naked lady bars, but i'm sure they'll have them! Might need to research that one...! We saw a 'capsule hotel', but didn't stay in one - they've got some good ones in Harajuku apparently - they look weird but cool. Definitely go to Tokyo!! Hope you're ok, take it easy! |
| 6th October 2009 Dave and Coz | - From: Tokyo - "probably the best city in the world" Hi Richard, we're currently compiling a list of our favourite cities, hotels and milkshakes!! Seriously! Enough people in Tokyo speak english to get by, and all of the metro signs are in English as well. It's a pretty easy city to travel around. Hope you're ok! C & D x |
| 30th September 2009 Richard | Hey - From: Tokyo - "probably the best city in the world" Hi Corinne and Dave, Thanks for sharing your experience and writing it in such nice detail. Tokyo definitely sounds like a place to go. Does everyone speak English? Would be interested your ranking of the citys you visited once you end your journey. Safe Travels Richard |
| 29th September 2009 justin | tokyo - From: Tokyo - "probably the best city in the world" Guys - it sounds an amazing city. Im googling it now to see about 4 day trips as I was thinking of new york or dubai for a short break later this year- but this sounds well worth a visit. Especially as Sushi is now my favourite food. Have you found the bars that serve sushi on naked Ladies !! - Im sure I saw that on telly, or was it a dream - cant remember - no defo saw it on telly :) Lost in Translation is also a top film - have you seen \any of the hotels that are just like tubes? One just opened over here at Heathrow I think. Cheers |
| 29th September 2009 Moira Hyde | Wow - From: Tokyo - "probably the best city in the world" Brilliant to read your piece on Tokyo. I never thought I'd want to go but you've definitely inspired me to re-think. It's so lovely to read about your travels, are you going into the quieter parts of Japan? Lots and lots of love for now - only 5 months more work before I depart! Moise xxx |
| 29th September 2009 Rui Miguel | Amazing - From: Tokyo - "probably the best city in the world" No comment! I will kill you Dave!!!! What a trip!!!???? |
| 29th September 2009 Vivienne Ward | Tokyo - another fab blog - From: Tokyo - "probably the best city in the world" Well my darlings so good to read your Tokyo blog and Mount Fuji looks beautiful...how many eggs did you eat?!!!! Train looks just a bit different to the ones in India! ha ha What a fabulous time you're having, what an experience. Love and miss you lots, Mum xxx |
| 28th September 2009 alex | - From: Myanmar (Burma) Nice job with the blog. I was wondering if you can answer a question or two for me. I am planning on going to Myanmar in November. i was planning to stay in Yangon for 2 days while I teach a few classes. Then I was hoping to head out of town. Now when you go out of town, where can one stay if you have to stay at a govt approved hotel or is that only in Yangon? Also the currency exchange on line that I am being told is totally diff. than the exchange rates I am bring quoted by a believer in Yangon. I was told that the exchange rate is 1050ks or so to the US dollar and not the 7 MMK to the dollars. Which is true and if a black market exchange where do I go to exchange in the streets? Thanks. Any advice on clothing to wear and what to make sure I dont forget to bring? |

| 30th August 2009 lol and steve | still jealous! - From: Vietnam it is so great to keep reading about your adventures - didnt realise Paul Hardcastle was in your ipod - we love his tunes big time ! Everywhere you are travelling is so interesting and beautiful beaches / views thanks for sharing them with us. Coz not sure that offwhite yellowing colour will suit you!!! maybe you could borrow Dave's skirt! Will be seeing your mum for a BBQ later on this overcast windy bank holiday sunday - good old british weather you aint missing much - keep blogging x x |
| 27th August 2009 Dave and Coz | Nnnnnnn...nineteen! - From: Vietnam I did indeed! ;-) Guess what song i had playing when we went to Cambodia?? Great news about Johny!! Fantastic! Hope you're ok x |
| 27th August 2009 Dave and Coz | Hiking costs - From: The Himalaya's....Wow! Hi Nils, we used a company called Paramount Adventure, based in New Manali (near the Chopsticks restaurant). It cost about $25 a day without a cook. However, we would definitely recommend a cook, as you will be too tired at the end of each day (especially with the altitude!). Enjoy!!! ;-) Thanks, Dave and Corinne |
| 26th August 2009 Aaaaandy | 19 - From: Vietnam Given your eclectic tastes in music I would have been dissappointed if you hadn't arrived without Paul Hardcastle playing in your ears! Nice pics too, I always thought that you looked great in a skirt. PS. Heard about news about Jonny boy, he's going to be a dad! |
| 23rd August 2009 Nils | Coast of the tour - From: The Himalaya's....Wow! Hey, i am reading your blog because i am leaving for India in the ende of August. I am planning as well to go hiking in the mountains like you did, but i have no idea about the coasts. So, it would be very nice of you, if you could tell me how much you paid for this 4 day trip without cook! :-) Have a nice stay in India, Nils |
| 21st August 2009 Dave and Coz | Skirts - From: Vietnam I take it from your comment that you don't wear skirts all that much yourself? I've actually got 3 in the closet, 2 shortish ones and one full length one for going out. |
| 21st August 2009 Dave and Coz | - From: Vietnam Hi Moise, most people in Vietnam were lovely! Just the taxi guys and sales people which were a bit annoying! The driving took some getting used to too.....there's no pedestrian crossings (at least none that any one takes any notice of) - you literally take your life into your hands when you cross the roads! ;-) We've travelled into Cambodia and spent the past couple of days in Phnom Penh - great city!! We found a delicious French bakery, which became our temporary home. We took the bus to Siem Reap this morning, which is where we are now. Just seen Angkor Wat by sunset - which was lovely, but a thunder storm was coming for us, so we had to race out of there! We'll be in Sulawesi for my birthday, so an e-Card would definitely be easiest, and lovely too! Take care, love C & D xxx |
| 21st August 2009 Dave and Coz | Lol and Steve... - From: Myanmar (Burma) Ahhh...thank you!! ;-) We're really enjoying writing the blogs, glad you enjoy reading them, and thanks for such a lovely comment! The UK does seem really tough at the moment....we catch the news every now and then, and it doesn't seem to get any better. Fingers crossed things sort themselves out soon! Hope you're ok!! Love C & D xx |
| 20th August 2009 justin | nice skirt! - From: Vietnam Hi Dave and Corinne, You guys seem to be seeing so much!! It all looks great and I want to see more of Dave in skirts please. :) Take care |
| 18th August 2009 Moira Hyde | Brill blog - From: Vietnam Brilliant to read your blog of Vietnam. It brought back lots of memories, such as being told off for talking while queueing to see Ho Chi Minh's body in the Mauseleum. I found people in the south much more friendly than in the north but both times I was only there just over a week. Where to next and will there be an address for sending birthday cards??? lots of love Moise |

Carole met us for a walk in the park beforehand. Not quite the Himalayas! I only have 8 months to go before I retire and look beyond the horizon. much love to you both Moise xxxxx |
