No wonder he wowed many locals. Nice blog, and nice references. I can use this next visit I make to Japan. I have only been to Tokyo, and been planning on the other areas like Kyoto. I, too, was wary of the strong yen! |

| 30th November 2008 william... | quite happy to be idiots... :) - From: The true cost of buying a car and driving across Australia! me, bec, wotto and sammie are going on a trip inland/coast of australia, well actualy its just a pipe dream , BUT, the cool thing about our trip idea is that we are going "unplanned" and our only true trust is our petrole station markouts on the map and petrole money.... we wont even use the map unless we want to.... witch we wont... Same as in the young days so where just going to drive off to some random place in the sunset and see what happens and get bored and then keep going elsewhere untill oneday we wanna head home.... we did this as kids after only just gettin our licences, we are outbackins, we know our limmits so safety aint a prob bob... but its gonnna happen, i can feel it... the reason its a pipe drem is because now where like 21 ish so we have stuff going on..... commitments and other stuff, but i just want to say, Fuck yeah! no showers and a bunch of servo food with nowhere to crap.. lol, life dont get much better! FUCK THE RATRACE GUYS, ITS A WASTE OF MOMENTS............. go on, do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

| 5th November 2007 MichaelnFaye | Good Question!!! - From: The true cost of buying a car and driving across Australia! That's what everyone wants to know... how do you keep clean? I'd like to say we're hardcore and didn't wash, but hey that's not the case.... It's amazing where you can find showers, and you do get stared at when you're at the beach in the rinse off showers with shampoo and soap! :) We were also lucky enough to have a power shower (cigarette lighter) in the van, though we had to be really careful with water usage, in the outback you choose life over being clean!!! :) Good Times!!!! |

| 28th August 2007 kathy | boring old fartdom here I come....... - From: High Jinks in the South Island love the blogs me and my friends at work enjoy the pictures and we feel as if old fartdom is only round the corner for us. We need to be more adventurous and I don't mean putting daz in the town's fountain [the school kids did that last week - fantastic]. The kittens have gone to their new home - their new mum called me and said we got them a cat bed, waste of effort, they sleep on the sofa [thats my boys - taught them everything they know!] Molly has a new boyfriend - he is fancy - possibly a bombay - murphy pulls his best darth mal face everytime he sees him. New rugby season starts next week az was wearing his new scrum cap whilst washing up - tad over the top but hey, we live on the edge. just thought i'd update you on the home scene, nothing else to report, and in the best hill street blues mode - be careful out there lol kjxx |
| 7th August 2007 Lorraine | - From: High Jinks in the South Island 'O my god' is all I can say my heart was in my throat just reading that! How on earth you plucked up the courage, well done you all, I wish I was brave enough to even try half of what you have done in such a short space of time. I certainly need a large whisky!!! Once again a most fasinating read, I really look forward to the next installment |

| 16th July 2007 Linden McFarlane | Wow, why did I ever leave home?! - From: New Continent, New People, New Language… Big Thrills!!! Stunning - I am travelling in Europe at the moment and whenever I get homesick I look on travelblog for pics of New Zealand. Your pics are wicked, well done. And they don't call it Aotearoa (Land of the long white cloud) for nothing, January and February would be a very different story weather-wise. |
| 12th July 2007 John McPherson | Loved it. - From: Winter blues in Uruguay… I too enjoyed Uruguay. I went once during the winter and I had a great time. I returned in that summer and I had a blast. The beaches, clubs, bars, walks on the rambla. Everything was great. It's nice because there's always something to do. You're also not limited to the capital. There's Colonia, Punta del Este, Piriapolis, and many more. Summer is the preferred time to go but winter is fun too. I'm returning next month!!!! Hopefully you two will return during the summer. |
| 7th July 2007 Ann | Magnificent - From: You can always rely on Mother Nature to impress… truly great photos.but you mus't dis Jonny. |
| 1st July 2007 Callie | A Uruguay lover agrees - From: Winter blues in Uruguay… Hi guys, just read your blog and I'm so disappointed you didn't get to see Uruguay at its finest. We spent 2 weeks there in January and it was one of my favourite places I visited in 5 months in S.America. I guess I'm glad I wasn't there in the winter! Some of our highlights included sunny days on the beaches of Punta del Diablo, hikes through gorgeous sand dunes, getting lost (through lack of enough buses) in Central Uruguay and meeting some incredibly friendly people, delicious food, cheap everything and awesome conversations with locals. I hope your next trip there is better, but I have to admit, I love you attitude about it!! Enjoy the rest of your holiday! |
| 28th June 2007 Jenni | yay for toucans! - From: You can always rely on Mother Nature to impress… sounds like you guys had a great time. i saw no toucans when i was there, though truthfully i didn't know to look - good sighting. i didn't make it to the brazilian side - i would have had to get a $100 visa to do it! good to see your photos. i made that roundtrip bus ride from BA with one day for the falls. it was a killer but worth it. keep enjoying! |
| 27th June 2007 Mum J | Spectacular - From: You can always rely on Mother Nature to impress… Michael Faye what spectacular pictures of the falls. Makes me even more determined to see them now. Back to Brazil we have to go. For two weeks this time. Love and miss you both. Safe trip to New Zealand.x |
