Welcome to Bangkok!!!! Asia » Thailand » Central Thailand » Bangkok

At Jenn's house first night in Bangkok

Hey all! Well... what a different world we are in now and we both absolutely love it. Get ready for a LOT of rambling! We spent, as you know, our last day in Sydney and headed to the airport to fly overnight to Bangkok. We arrived in the midst of a huge storm and so it was great that we had arranged a couch surf prior to our arrival... a cool girl called Jen, teacher in Bangkok and from the states. We arrived to the airport and attempted to buy a sim card. First language challenge. We overcame it and left [View Full Entry]

Drive South to Adelaide! Oceania » Australia » South Australia » Adelaide

Desert Festival

So again... a bit behind on the blog. We did another relocation vehicle (a monster!) from Alice Springs down to Adelaide to visit Andrew (you might remember him... I met him in Italy 4 years ago and he came to visit in the states 3 years ago). So, we had a blast driving the monster... complete with a shower, toilet, fridge, microwave, AC, full kitchen and queen sized bed! Awesome. We arrived to Andrew and John and couldn't have been more welcomed. They were the best hosts ever. We've been here for 2 weeks and it's been absolutely amazing... great food, [View Full Entry]

And this is just one view of our giant monster :)$5 per day! yay!

Backpacking to Outbacking Oceania » Australia » Northern Territory » Kata Tjuta

our first camels!!!!! They are awesome.

Absolutely the most amazing experience yet. We took an outback desert tour with our wonderful guide, Sean. He taught us so much about the flora and fauna, the Aboriginal people, their history and their land. The people on our tour were just amazing and it was such a blast. I have told stories throughout the pictures so... have fun! Smiles. [View Full Entry]

2500k West!!! Oceania » Australia » Northern Territory » Alice Springs

Hi all! Well... what a time we've been having. For starters, we were able to land ourselves what's called a relocation vehicle. This means, a company needs a vehicle brought from point A to B and they only charge us $5 per day for rental and give us 2/3 of the petrol money back as well. We landed ourselves a Britz 4wd campervan and left Cairns to head the 2500k to Alice Springs which is in the center of the Outback desert. It was an absolutely unbelievable trip and hopefully the pictures, and commentary under them, will explain the trip for [View Full Entry]

Up north... in the winter... wait, summer, wait... WINTER! Oceania » Australia » Queensland » Cairns » Cairns City

photo by Gary

It's been quite the adventure leaving Brisbane. You can see a few pictures from our last days there before heading north to Cairns. A couple of the first pictures got a little out of order, but that will give you a little taste of the album! We flew up there as it was the quickest/cheapest option! We arrived to a wonderful hostel (you can see the sweet pictures) and just made ourselves at home in the tent. We enjoyed some time around the city during the arts festival and then we rented a car and drove for 3 days north and [View Full Entry]
