Most Dangerous! Cool guys, looks like loads of fun. I remember that Top Gear episode, that was a good special!
The Loco Photos were the best! The one of everyone in the cooking pan is pretty great, I've never seen that before! Also like the one of Dee steppin on Holly... nice!
Enjoy the last few days of your journey and safe travels back to the UK!
God Bless... Bx
Buses Nice pictures guys. I must admit that the lovely strait paved road from La Paz to Tupiza was a breeze in the ok coaches but venture of the tourist trail a little and i promise you that all changes. Ill never forget as long as i live the journey from Coroico to Rurrenabaque. Ouch!

Inca Trek! That looks so amazing guys!! It's good to see the 3 of you together again, and what an experience of a lifetime to share together!!! I'm sure Jo needed some time in the wild after her stint in crowded Jersey.
Looking forward to seeing where your next adventure takes you! Miss you guys and stay safe... Love always and God bless!!

felicitaciones mi amigos! Hi!
Great blog and amazing photos, congrats to the three of you, such a rewarding trek! Enjoy the next month of travels in S. America. Only a month til Christmas and you'll be home with family!
Take care, have fun, love Chris xx
blog pics So jealous it looked fab on the glaciers even if it was freezing. Looks like you are having a ball - be good to see your photos at home instead of waiting to see them in cornwall. Had chris and joan to stay over last weekend. great to see them. x becky
Whales? Sweet! Wow, seeing the GBR and Humpbacks in the same day?!?! That must have been overwhelming!!!
Glad to see you two are making it well in the vast wilderness that is Australia! Hope you are enjoying the bit cooler weather and water temps... it was 42C here yesterday... and has been over 40 for the last month!!! Even jumping in the lake or pool isn't refreshing... it's like taking a bath. :(
Can't wait to see the Ayres Rock trip, should be amazin!!! Be safe and God Bless... Much Love, Bxxx
Great to see you! Glad you found couchsurfing - not done it, but heard great things about it here in NZ too. Small world staying at John's place - hope he recommended some local places to skate!!! Looks like you had ups and downs in the last month in Asia - the volanoes looked amazing, stargazing and sunsets on the boat - stunning. Dragons - you're so lucky!!! Relaxing on the fantastic beaches and yoga classes - what a trip!!! Glad you're both feeling better, enjoy Oz, and looking forward to seeing you both soon!!!!!! xxxx
Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!!! YAY! You made it!! Glad you were able to get your first cuppa and I love G-Unit... great name. :) There were a few Ron Mueck's at the British Museum when I went there... freaky!!! Enjoy the road trip and remember 1,000 miles is NOTHING in Australia or the U.S... live it up. Love you both!!
Ron Mueck Wow how awesome are those sculptures! Bit scary though some of them!
How was lovely Graham when you saw him.. still fighting fit! Excellent name for a croc for sure!
Hope you are having an awesome time in Oz.. my friend said it is 26 today which is pretty hot so hopefully you aren't needing the thermals too much ;o)
Take care x
Goodbye Asia! WOW, I know you must have mixed emotions about leaving Asia... seems like such an amazing time! The temples, the elephants, the food... all will be missed I'm sure!
Wishing you both safe travel to Australia and can't wait to see all the adventure you get into there!!! Much love and God bless... Bxxx
Great Adventure! Hey guys! I know it's been FOREVER since I've commented... I've been out of touch but I look forward to getting caught up with all your adventures. This trip sounds amazing and I can only imagine what those stars must have looked like!!!!!
As always, good to see your smiling faces! Love you both... God bless!!!
Bali Hey guys
beautiful snaps you are both looking very at home out there! Glad you had a better experience than us of Bali, it looks lovely in Bukit, much nicer than horrible Magaluf Kuta! Keep having lots of fun (like I need to say that) and have fun with the dragons! Much love xxx

Keep well.

Paradise found! Wow! The photos Perhentian Island looks amazing in your photos!!! And I bet it is even more amazing in "real life"!!! Enjoy Singapore and hugs from your mum!!!!
Hiya, we are Dee and Holly from Northampton, England.
We left home on 1st October 2009 to see the world and were away for 447 days in total.
Our journey started in India, Nepal and Hong Kong then SE Asia then Australia and New Zealand and South America . We were home for Christmas 2010.
We were looking forward to finding paradise and the perfect mojito, dabbling in adventure and making new friends along the way. Holly was a little worried about going without hair straighteners and having to 'pack light'. Dee... full info
