Hey from New Zealand!!! So we figured we would tell you about each island individually...this does mean that this blog is going to be alot longer than the North Island blog as we have spent much more time on the South than we will on the North.....first off though just to confuse matters, we actually arrived on the North Island, Auckland but made a quick journey to the South!!! We arrived in Auckland after a smooth airport entry and found our third musketeer waiting patiently for our arrival - for those of you that don't already know a friend from [View Full Entry]

A big Singapore hello to everyone reading! Singapore doesn't have its own language as it has so many different nationalities living there so the common language is English! We figured we would do a short blog to tell you about our two days in Singapore and to say goodbye to Asia, all in preparation for our fresh start in Australia where we will be traveling for the next 8 weeks. First off Singapore...so the good news is that we managed to block Ami up enough to get her on our free flight courtesy of Air Asia (they gave us vouchers when [View Full Entry]

Selamat from Malaysia! So we have just completed two action packed weeks in Malaysia where we hit 6 different locations and managed to get a good feel for what Malaysia is like. On the whole Malaysia is a very modern country, (the only difference is the open drains, which you wouldn't expect but must have something to do with the monsoon). Malaysia is quite unlike most of it's neighbour's we have seen so far, it was strange as you could even feel the difference on the roads as you crossed the boarder, bumpy roads - see you later! Malaysia is [View Full Entry]

Sawadee Ka (you should all know this one!) So we had our smoothest boarder crossing yet from Laos to Thailand, where we got our free 15 day visa on arrival, although they did still try and charge us for something...wait for it...Sunday overtime fee! Of course we didn't pay as we are clued up travellers now! First off we caught a bus all the way to Chiang Mai which took 7 hours, here we spent 4 nights. Chiang Mai is a big city and very built up yet it had a nice feel to it. We spent a day doing a [View Full Entry]

Sabadee from Laos! We have now come to the end of our time in Laos and boy has it been action packed! We managed to stick to our 2 week deadline which meant lots of traveling and short stays in each place, having said that we really enjoyed our time there and feel we got to see lots....so lets get you up to date with our adventure! After leaving Vietnam we had to cross the Laos border, which once again involved a dispute over Visa costs! This time they were not trying to rip us off but the actual price had [View Full Entry]

Chao ong! Yes you have guessed it...Hello from Vietnam! Before we update you all with our time in Vietnam we couldn't let our final day in Cambodia go without mention....So we spent our final day volunteering our time to help feed the children who live at Cambodia's largest rubbish dump. Before setting off we headed to the local market in order to buy enough baguettes, oranges, mangoes, pineapples and bananas to feed over 400 people, then we headed to the site on the back of an open truck whereby on our arrival we were literally swamped with hungry children and mothers.

Sour Sdey from Cambodia! Since the last blog entry we spent a further 5 days in Thailand before moving onto Cambodia. Quite an eventful 5 days as we had a bit of a scare whilst doing our last blog, several computers didn't seem to read our photos (for no reason at all!) and the actual camera kept saying 'NO FILES' but at the same time saying memory full. All very confusing and nerve racking as almost 4 months worth of photos were on the memory card with no other form of backups! we still have not got to the bottom of [View Full Entry]
