Well hello there! Firstly, I guess I should apologise for the lack of blog in so long. No excuse really, just that things have been a little hectic since we arrived in Laos and also, internet connections aren't what we were used to and in some area's pretty expensive...excuses excuses I hear you all cry! I am going to do the first two weeks in Laos and then Rich pick it up from there. You should....I say should get two blogs in quite quick succesion. We're just sitting and waiting for our bus to take us down to Hoi An in [View Full Entry]

And so in quick progression (due to the democratic process of petitions you facebookers!) we hit the next blog!! Having arrived in Vietienne after a hectic and extreme sports day, we set about finding some cheap, clean, and good accomadation. We quickly realised that 5.30pm was not the best time to arrive in the city, as all the cheap places were already full, and you could see by the panicing rush of people that places were getting tight. Me and Macca left the group to patrol the area and find some accomodation, finally securing some rooms at the Ministry of Information [View Full Entry]

Hello everyone, again we're playing catch up on our blog, think everyone seems to have the same problem, so please don't think it means we have become lazy! We entered Thailand, taking the day to travel up to Krabi, before overnighting there and picking up the morning express boat. We had decided to head towards Ko Phi Phi, which is on the western side of pennisular Thailand. As we're writing this Carol is lying down, having her tatoo done. It's very pretty, but i think she maybe in some pain as not only is her input limited, she keeps saying 'write [View Full Entry]

Hi all, hope you're all well. We're writing to you from a free Wi-Fi bar in Kho Phi Phi, Thailand. We've just had a nice breakfast and it looks like it may be sunny today....fingers crossed. Anyway, where did we leave off? I think we had just left Singapore..... We decided we'd like to take the jungle railway up to the north east of Malaysia so we spent a day travelling up to a place called Mentakab, via KL. Upon arrival, we checked into a hotel where the owner took a bit of a shine to us and she took us [View Full Entry]

Hello all, well, we have some more free Wi-fi so time for another installement of our blog! The last week or 10 days has been dominated by cities, Hong Kong, Macau and Singapore. We left Johannesburg just after our last blog and entered Asia through Hong Kong afer a tiring 14 hour flight. There are only so many movies you can watch on repeat to take up the time! Hong Kong We managed to find our way from the airport to Kowloon where we had booked a hostel. To be honest the front of the building looked like a dive, about [View Full Entry]

Hello Peeps! So, it's time for another entry into the blog. We're currently in Johannesburg after travelling down from Zambia, through Botswana on a 6 day overland tour. More of that later. So, where did we leave you last? I think we were in Botswana, just before we travelled over into Zambia. We'd travelled to a place called Muan so we could pick up a two day tour on small boats called mokero's which take you into the Eastern part of the Okavango Delta. We were still with David and Sabrina, are American travelling buddies. Another early start we had a [View Full Entry]

Well hello people!! How is everyone?? Firstly, apologies for not writing in some time....internet connections in south africa are few and expensive. Also, we've been out in the bush so not been anywhere near a PC and the african bush pigeons would have been too slow. Secondly, we have quite a bit to cram in so sorry if it ends up being a little on the long side.....bare with us, maybe grab a coffee lol So Wow.....Namibia has been amazing and already we are regretting only booking one month in Africa. We seen to have seen and done so much so [View Full Entry]

hello all, Well, yet again the irony isn't lost on either of us that we're writing this blog in the uk. We're back for a few days before connecting to our flight to johannasburg on sunday afternoon, to have a chance to see everyone, tie up a few last things and more importantly celebrate my 30th (once again!!) Sorry it's been a while since the last update, internet access, along with the energy required to find internet access, has been limited!! Carol says it's me that has no energy, not her!! I'll accept all blame.... As you all know carol came [View Full Entry]

Hello Everyone, howīs things? Hope youīre all well! Apologies thatīs itīs taken a little while to get our first blog under way but when itīs really hot and youīre being lazy in the sun then itīs very hard. We also havenīt really had proper internet access till now. The irony isnīt lost that the first blog comes the day I fly back to the uk for Madonna, leaving Kia to baby sit Rich (and Kisha and Daniel of course) but we have an hour before driving back to Almeria so thought weīd fire one out quick. So, what have we been [View Full Entry]
