A Quick Adventure in Hong Kong Wed 25th Nov Hong Kong was great! We arrived and checked into the Harbourview Hotel on Hong Kong Island. We were upgraded to a ‘suite’, which was very roomy and had full harbour views. It was a good start to know we were staying somewhere nice. We arrived, but had to recover from our few days with John and Amy in Perth! So we had a few hours sleep before heading out into the abyss. We started with an early dinner at a traditional little restaurant in Wan Chai, near where we were staying. We had the preconception that most would speak English - especially considering Hong Kong had been a British Colony for so long - but this was certainly not the case. We found this out the first ... read more

Argentina…..we had heard so much about it. Its’ stunning landscapes, delicious steaks, beautiful people, and its culture for partying. We had only 10 days to discover a little bit of each…. The other thing that was going to make this adventure even more exciting was that we were meeting up with a great friend from London, Emma. Little did we know initially, but the three of us were going to experience some weird and wonderful encounters in Argentina. 14th April 09 Buenos Aires was where the Argentinean adventure would begin. More specifically, it would begin at the Milhouse Hostel. For those of you that have been to Buenos Aires, you would know that ‘The Milhouse’ has a reputation for being “the party hostel of South America”. We were soon to discover that this reputation was being ... read more

Sun, Surf and Sand - A Brazilian Paradise Ipanema, Rio De Janeiro 11th March 2009 - 15th March 2009 11th March 2009 After a 10 hour flight, we arrived in Rio de Janeiro at 6.30pm. As taxis are relatively cheap in Rio, we decided to catch one from the airport to our hostel, ‘Margarida’s Pousada’. This pousada is in Ipanema and was recommended by the Lonely Planet. The elderly lady, who owned the pousada proved to be very kind and friendly, however did not speak a word of English and unfortunately we only knew how to say ‘thank you’ in Portuguese. Given our level of exhaustion after a 10 hour flight (and as it was midnight, Madrid time), we collapsed into bed, in our spacious corner room. 12th March 2009 The next morning we had a ... read more

Hi Everyone! We have tried to keep a good record of every holiday we have had over the past couple of years whilst living in London. However, we don't document all the day trips that we go on. It's these day trips that really add to the experience of living in London. So this is a summary of all the 'little things' we did in and around London in 2008 and early 2009. As you will see from the photos and captions below, we really did, pack it all in! A big thanks to all of our friends! Without you guys we would not have had so much fun! Our years in London will go down as some of the most exciting, entertaining and crazy years of our life!... read more

Hi Everyone, Welcome to another instalment of our wonderful adventures around the world. Feel free to leave a comment on the site for us - its always great to hear from our friends. European adventures have dominated our schedule since arriving in London almost two years ago. So it was decided that this time we would do something ‘not so European’. We thought that the Middle East would be different….So it was off to Egypt for 9 days…..and different it was! Saturday 27th December We took a BMI flight from London to Cairo. Cheap, but cheerful, and we didn’t crash - that has to represent good value! Upon arrival a man came sweeping through saying “Travel Talk Tour?”, and then grabbed our passports and disappeared - awesome; within 2 minutes of landing in Cairo, we had ... read more
