Hello all from a very hot and sunny Australia! Quite jealous of all the stories of Christmassy fun in the snow but I suppose we're not too hard done by over here. Struggling to feel the xmas vibe even with all the tacky tinsel and Christmas songs but we're trying our best! Currently settled in Brisbane but heading down tomorrow to Byron Bay so the festivities can start. After our last blog we travelled from Airlie Beach down to Hervey Bay where we'd be spent a couple of chilled out days before getting a boat over to Fraser Island. Here we [View Full Entry]

OK first off, apologies for all those that have been missing the blog updates or just thought that we were dead. The good news is we're not and we're still having a great time. Currently about half way down the east coast of Australia and melting in 38dg heat (from what we've heard it's not too far from what it's like in England??). Anyway, apologies in advance for how long this entry is going to be, as you can imagine we've been up to quite a bit! Since our last update we left the Thai islands and headed north once more [View Full Entry]

Sawadee krap from the beautiful Ko Phi Phi! Hello everyone, we've been having a great time since we last updated you from Hanoi in Vietnam. Been so much more relaxed and we've been partying hard on the beaches in the south of Thailand! After Hanoi we got a flight down to Bangkok, it felt like a home from home when we arrived and the drivers actually used their indicators and stopped at red lights! What a treat! We stayed in the same hostel we stayed in when we first arrived about 6 weeks earlier and spent a good while enjoying the [View Full Entry]

Hello people. Letting you how Vietnam has been. Had a really good week but been pretty hectic! Stayed in Ho Chi Minh city for a few days and enjoyed the madness of it all. Best people-watching venue by far! Obviously we tested the local drinking establishments thoroughly, as you do. Met loads of new people and had a great laugh. Went to the "Museum of American War Crimes", we can safely say it was a pretty one-sided view of the 'Nam war! Pretty interesting though and had some excellent photos. Also did a spot of sight seeing and went to see [View Full Entry]

Hi guys, here's our next installment! Everything going great at the mo, having a lot of fun and seen plenty of places. Sorry it's been so long since we last updated you but been pretty hectic and not many places had the tinterweb but never fear, we're here now! The day after our last entry we organised to have a day caving, kayaking and tubing down the river Song which runs through Vang Vieng. After a short drive and then a bit of a walk we made it up to the water cave where you sit in a rubber tube and [View Full Entry]

Hello everyone!! Just to update you on what we've been up to. Since we last wrote, we set off for the jungle just north of Chaing Mai. We were in a group with 5 others to begin with and our two tour guides (Jay-Jay and King Kong!). Set off from base and took an amazing drive north through fantastic jungle scenery. Set off trekking with our bamboo sticks in hand which were very much needed due to it being rainy season and the jungle being somewhat slippery!! Jay-Jay took the lead with machete in hand and carved a path up through [View Full Entry]

Hi guys. Just to update you on how we're getting on. After we last updated you, we spent another couple of nights on Sukhumvit Road which was all in all pretty sleazy but a good laugh. Most of the people we met however were 50 year old western men with Thai brides. Bad craic. On the Sunday we travelled on the Sky Train to a huge (10,000 stalls) outdoor market. Ridiculously hot though so didn't stay too long. That night after quite a few beers we headed back to the hotel and decided to play poker and thought it would be [View Full Entry]

Just to let you all know we've arrived safely. Wednesday night was like Christmas Eve, hardly slept a wink with excitment! Got up early doors to make me and Joey our packed lunches for the bus down, the skittles were a particular treat! Bus down was comfortable and spacious, just like on the adverts. Got to airport in plenty of time but were told when checking in that if we didn't have flights out of Thailand booked then we wouldn't be allowed in to the country. Queue us running to the nearest internet cafe and booking flights. Flight was good, plenty [View Full Entry]

Here's our first entry! We're setting off from sunny Darlington at 10:55am on a National Express bus down to Heathrow. From there we will hop on a plane and 12hours later land in Bangkok, Thailand. We'll keep you informed of how it goes. Prediction? Pain. PK [View Full Entry]
