Leaving On A Jet Plane....Don't Know When I'll Be Back Again... Asia » Thailand » South-West Thailand » Ko Phi Phi

Amazing sunset.... Beautiful View

So this is it...our final hours of our trip. The reality it setting in when we just packed our bags for the last time...weird. Even though i am an expert packer now. But we are really excited to go home back to good old Britain..and when your away for this long you even start to miss the place! honestly!! We were discussing what we are looking forward to the most and its the littlest things...i can't wait to be able to brush my teeth with tap water, and drink out the taps for that matter...to have my own bed back, not [View Full Entry]

Topping Up Our Tans In Tao! Asia » Thailand » South-West Thailand » Ko Tao

Our first home together... hahahaha

Hello...hope everyone is ok...bet our parents have written on the calender how many days it is until we are back...counting down! So we jumped on an overnight train from Bangkok all the way down to Southern Gulf of Thailand and to Koh Tao! this quiet little island (only 21km squared)...total chill out week. we spent 6 nights in our own beach hut and spent the whole time lying on the beaches, enjoying watching the sunsets and lots of nice meals! Koh Tao is not very built up at all and only 10 years ago it was generally unknown amongst travellers... we [View Full Entry]

Beautiful But Bonkers Bangkok!! Asia » Thailand » Central Thailand » Bangkok

Emmas New friend...

So we arrived in Bangkok...after we left Auckland and had a 3 n a half hour flight to Sydney (which was delayed for an hour on the tarmac)...we had to run straight thru the terminal at Sydney to catch our connection flight to Bangkok! Then after over 9hours and 4 films later we landed! It was midnight when we jumped into a very bright pink taxi to take us to the notorious Khao San Road...aka backpacker central. the cab dropped us off 'near' our hotel and we reluctantly got our bags and walked down this crazy street...walked past a Boots pharmacy [View Full Entry]

1 Week, 1 Island, 1 Campervan!! Oceania » New Zealand » North Island

Ferry to the North island...

We set foot on the North Island in shock that we only had one week left in New Zealand...and would be home in less than a month!!! shock shock horror horror! So spent an extremly windy night in the nation's capital city Wellington and explored it the next day... it is likened to a smaller version on San Fransisco on a much smaller scale cos all the houses are perched on the hillside overlooking the pretty harbour... and the city is proud of its cafe culture apparently having more cafes per head than New York!!..so there you go, we had a [View Full Entry]

New Month...New Country...New Zealand!!! Oceania » New Zealand » South Island

The good times...

Hello!! Sorry there hasn't been a blog for a while but trying to find an internet connection in New Zealand is easier said than done! So we arrived in Christchurch on the South Island of New Zealand...nice little city but far quieter than Australia...the accents in New Zealand take a few days to get used to... they tend to exaggerate their words, so there has been a lot of confusion along our way! The flight from Oz only took 2.5hours so easy done. stayed over night just outside of Christchurch...which is funnily enough full of churches! and somehow found ourselves sitting [View Full Entry]

Our Last Days In Oz!... Oceania » Australia » New South Wales » Sydney

Bak in Sydney ... woooo

I honestly can't believe it has gone so fast!... I mean it does feel as though i've been away from home for a while but not 5 months! So we have been in Oz 146 days, 21 weeks or nearly 5 months...and since we arrived as inexperienced backpackers on the 4th March 2007 we have had so many incredible experiences in this HUGE country! For instance...we had never heard of $2 beers, living on 2min noodles, bed bugs, 12hour bus journeys, Coles (the cheap supermarket)...we have learnt how to be unbelieveably stingey with our money, saying no to paying an [View Full Entry]

Road Trip....Melbourne to Sydney!! Oceania » Australia » New South Wales » Sydney » Kings Cross

RECOVERED

So 7 of us hired a gorgeous Kia Carnival 8 seater car and were armed with a map, a week and a plan... Our original idea was to try and go around the coast and the most southern poiunts of Australia... but just like at home there has been an enormous amount of flooding here in south New South Wales and the main highway was closed. So plan 2 was to head inland over 1200km to Sydney. We picked up our sparkling new car and tried our best to fit 7 large Backpacks and numerous other little bags into the [View Full Entry]

Chillin' In Melbourne.... Oceania » Australia » Victoria » Melbourne » City Centre

RECOVERED

Helloo!!! Hope everyone is OK. In Melbourne and we have officially climatized to the hot Aussie weather because when it gets below 15degrees we have the massive winter coats, gloves and scarf on! i actually looked at the weather here compared to home and it was still colder at home...so we are happy. (sorry!) Anyway apart from the weather the city itself is really nice, we are staying in a canny hostel in the middle of town...the best thing about it is its only 2mins walk from ALDI!! woohoo cheap food! and its really easy to walk around everywhere from [View Full Entry]

We got picked up at 7am on the first day...Scoffing our Sausage n egg McMuffins! got on the bus with the Isrealies and Sabrina from the last trip... our group on this trip was full of nice people but they weren't as Groovy as the last trip! some of them were [View Full Entry]

"White Man's Burrows" And Beyond!! Oceania » Australia » South Australia » Coober Pedy

The Sign Says It All...2

...So we are in South Australia... on our tour one of the first things we saw was a car just off the road...in a tree! it was mad the car had swerved to miss a kangaroo at 100kmph and ended up in a tree! We saw some more massive egales this time they were really close cos they were eating a dead kangaroo on the side of the road. Just before we arrived at Coober Pedy we stopped at the Longest Man made "structure" on the planet...longer than the great wall of China! its only a little fence but it [View Full Entry]
