It is a long time since I updated the blog, a 118 days to be precise. This is probably due to the very uninteresting experiences I have had since returning home, life seems the same again, nothing changes…much! I recently left the country for the first time since returning from New Zealand; I had a little foray into the great European city of Amsterdam. Which has consequently reignited my passion in seeing the world again suggesting to myself that my travelling has not ended, just that my speed has changed. This weekend me and my friend Sharpey met up with some [View Full Entry]

All good things must come to an end. After a year of travelling around I am sat in the departure lounge at Sydney airport waiting for my connection to Heathrow, London, England! I am really looking forward to see everyone, even though I never thought I would say this, I have missed England. You should all be well reacquainted with Sharpey and Taz should be back on the radar. It has been fun I would not change this time for anything, I am sure both Taz and Sharpo will say the same. I should be back in time for Capellos first [View Full Entry]

3, 2, 1 aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! 134 metres(440 feet) with 8.5 seconds falling until the bungy kicks in. this is Nevis the 3rd highest bungy in the world. The cable car ride to get to the jump station is breathtaking in itself but the real rush happens when you have your toes on the edge of the platform and you are looking into the valley. At this stage one of the girls who I was jumping with burst into tears. At this point there is no turning back, especially when taz had done it a week earlier and left a note in the [View Full Entry]

The scenery in New Zealand is breathtaking, if spectacular views of gorges or mountains are your thing; you have to go to the south island. Enough said! We rolled into a quite little mountain town, consisting of one street, from which you can see snow capped mountains. For New Zealand this is pretty unremarkable. The thing that makes Franz Josef worth visiting is that it is the gateway to one of the world’s most accessible glaciers. If I had an ounce of knowledge about glaciers I probably would explain all the major features of a glacier and how FJ compares to [View Full Entry]

Sweet as bro! New Zealand adventure capital of the world. I am in this stunning country with breathtaking views, which seems to have a chilled out vibe and is renound for been somewhat of an adrenalin junkie’s wet dream. Bearing that in mind I decided to jump 15,000 feet out of a plane, of course I was attached to a parachute. Slightly hung-over from the night before I found myself falling out of the door of an aeroplane! Freefalling for 60 seconds it is a great feeling. I had the silliest grin on my face all the way down I just [View Full Entry]

Sydney Australia’s capital city in everything but title is much more impressive the second time around. This time I felt as though I could navigate it much easier and was able to revaluate all the must see sights of Sydney. As a result of my absences from England I have missed football. To satisfy my craving and to try and fill this empty space I decided to go and see Sydney F.C. to get my fill of football while also seeing how Australian football compares to English. It doesn’t! Pre game they have the women’s team play their game, this is [View Full Entry]

The next part of the tour took place in the outback travelling from Darwin to Alice Springs. This journey took us 3 days covering 1588km, while also completing the world longest pub-crawl an amazing 702km. the outback pretty much consists of nothing, we spent endless hours on the coach cruising through nowhere. Hearing stories about the first explorers such a John Mcdoud Stewart discovering and establishing the insignificant towns scattered throughiout the outback. The question that is constantly bouncing around the walls of your mind is why? Why so much effort to establish and discover this horrid desolate terrain of nothing. [View Full Entry]

So the east coast is over we have travelled from Sydney to Cairns. With the help of a few detours it has taken us a whopping 6 months. After 6 months of travelling, mainly by bus we took our first domestic flight in Australia. We are finally left Queensland and entered the northern territory, to be specific Darwin. The Northern territory is the place that anything can kill or eat you and it is normally the place where any of the bad stories you hear about Australia occur. 'On the road again' started everyday of the tour of Kakadu, continuing, 'seeing [View Full Entry]

The tour continues this time into Victoria, where we are going to see the Great Ocean Road. The great ocean road actually starts nowhere near the sea, en route you are greeted with green fields and dairy cows. The tour guide asks if anyone has seen the sea, all I can see is green fields. Before you know it you go round a corner and are greeted with views of a rugged handsome coastline. In England the closest comparison to the great ocean road is Cornwall. While travelling down the coast I often drifted back to England. Just reiterate it the [View Full Entry]

Neighbours everybody needs good neighbours with a little love and understanding. A major reason (my only) to visit Melbourne was to go on the neighbour’s tour. That is exactly what Mono and me did. Upon waiting for the tour to start we first had to meet one of the cast of new or old. We were speculating who would it be, Harold, Susan, Izzy (in my dreams) or even Mr Neighbours himself Karl Kennedy. All of a sudden a women entered the room, me and mono looked at each other puzzled. Who’s that? After about 5 minutes of scratching our heads [View Full Entry]
