Peru... We landed in Lima, Peru’s largest city, on the 7th of Feb and were greeted at the airport by a driver that our hostel had sent to pick us up. Going from the airport to Miraflores in Lima we got our first glimpse of what we had got ourselves in for. First thing to note was the drivers do pretty much what they feel like when on the road and they love to beep! I mean any chance they get to give a few blows of the horn they go for it, its the countries favourite pass time as we found out in the next few weeks in this country. We stayed in a hostel called Family House Backpackers and I have to say we were really lucky to find such a nice hostel to ... read more

Hello everyone from Melbourne, Here is an update on what’s been happening... After New Zealand I moved back to Australia and started my one year working holiday visa. I arrived into Melbourne and headed for Ted's (my brother) place in St. Kilda. I spent the first 3 weeks of my time back in Australia living on the couch in his place, from here I set up interviews for jobs and went about finding a place of my own. I had decided that Melbourne was going to be the place where I was going to settle down in for awhile, get a job and put money back in the bank. Melbourne is a great city with a great buzz. Its laid back, relaxed and the people are really friendly. It is also hands down the sports capital ... read more

Procrastination... that is what has been happening and that’s my new word thanks to a certain Canadian! So after putting it off for such a long time its time to sit down again and get you all upto dates on my whereabouts and what has been happening. So I'm going to continue now from Brisbane and fill you all in on the second part of the East coast of Australia... So we left Brisbane and went north towards Rainbow beach and the gateway to Fraser Island. Rainbow beach is a small little village, well its pretty much just a handful of shops to be honest by the coast and does not have a whole lot to offer except the chance to get out to Fraser island and that is what we did. We spent the first ... read more

Where to start... oh ya, welcome back once again, Ok, now we have Indonesia done and dusted and are in Australia and are beginning our Oz adventure I guess I'll fill you in on our trip through Indonesia, it went some thing like this... We left Singapore on the 2nd of April and got on a ferry to a place called Batam which is a small island only about one hour away from Singapore but is an island which belongs to Indonesia (Indonesia is made up of 17,508 islands, this just being one!) Arriving into this island we had to go through customs and get our visas for the country. Our planed destination was Jakarta, the nation’s capital which is on the island of Java, which is the main island of Indonesia but to get there ... read more

Well the circle is now complete, we left Bangkok, went to north Thailand, into Laos, traveled Vietnam, then saw Cambodia and arrived back in Bangkok again. The plan now is to spend a few days in Bangkok, then head down to the islands to relax before we head into Malaysia... but this is what happened instead!!! We arrived in Bangkok and straight away found ourselves some hotel rooms in the Schkumvit area of the city. Now you have a group of lads, on holidays, in Bangkok so lads do what lads do! We spent a few nights here in Bangkok, out every night, sleeping all day and going seeing all the "sights"! I'm not going to talk much about that, gotta keep this censored! On one night out in Bangkok I met and starting going out ... read more
